The KIA OPTIMA SPORTSWAGON (2018-22) 5DR SPORTSWAGON 1.6 CRDI 134 DPFR SS EU6 2 6SPD is a spacious, mid-sized family estate, offering a practical alternative to an SUV or hatchback. Its long roof and rear luggage area make it well suited to school runs, holidays and carrying bulky shopping, while its diesel engine is a sensible match for regular longer journeys. In UK used-car terms, it sits among roomy estate rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Skoda Superb. The Optima’s appeal is its straightforward comfort and generous everyday usefulness, without the bulk or high seating position of many SUVs. It should suit families, commuters and drivers who value boot space and relaxed motorway travel more than a sporty feel or compact city-car manoeuvrability. 581 mycarcheck.com checks across 184 VINs show £11,100 average private-sale value, 70,000 average miles, 14,000 annual miles and just over one previous keeper per vehicle.
