The KIA OPTIMA (2018-22) 4DR SALOON 1.6 CRDI 134 DPFR SS EU6 2 6SPD is a spacious four-door diesel saloon for buyers seeking a family car rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK, it competes in the large-saloon market with the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia. Mycarcheck.com records 52 checks across 34 VINs, a useful snapshot of shopper interest. The data shows an average private-sale valuation of £10,600, average recorded mileage of 70,000 miles and annual mileage of 18,000. The average keeper count is 0.9, so checked examples generally had around one previous keeper or fewer. Its long-distance-friendly diesel character and roomy cabin suit commuters, couples and families needing useful boot space, while the six-speed manual keeps the drive familiar. Compared with rivals, the Optima stands out as a less common, value-focused saloon; check each car’s history and condition before buying, as with any used car.
