KIA Motors Corporation has shown its latest-generation K5/Optima sedan to the wide audience. What’s new, what’s interesting? Let’s see.
The updated car got a new radiator grille, new bumpers and redesigned LED headlights. As a result, it looks more agile and aggressive than it did before. Main useful features include a 360-degree round view system, cruise control and a speed-limited autonomous drive mode suitable mostly for highways.
The interior of the KIA K5 facelift offers overall better-quality finishing, a new steering wheel, neat LED illumination, a state-of-the-art infotainment system with a large touch-enabled screen, and a powerful stereo set.
The car can be purchased in South Korea with a 1.7L, 141-hp diesel, either of the two gasoline engines (2.0L / 163 hp and 1.6T-GDI / 180 hp) and a natural gas engine (2.0 LPG / 151 to 153 hp). The base trim can be bought for 22,700,000 South Korean won.
