2006.5 Kia Optima
Kia's redesigned 2006.5 Optima is a conservatively styled midsize sedan that's available with either four-cylinder or V-6 power. On sale this spring, the Optima can be equipped with some uncommon features for its class — like a manual sunshade for the rear window — and is offered in LX and step-up EX trim levels.
Pricing has not yet been announced, but the current Optima undercuts all its competitors' starting list prices, and it's hard to imagine Kia reversing course with the 2006.5 Optima's pricing.
Exterior
Although the new Optima's exterior styling doesn't break any new ground in the passenger car segment, it's well proportioned overall. An Appearance Package features 17-inch wheels and a blacked-out grille and headlights. V-6-powered Optimas have dual exhaust pipes. Trunk volume measures 14.8 cubic feet, which is less than that of its competitors.
Interior
Front bucket seats and a three-place, split-folding rear bench seat provide seating for up to five people. Air conditioning, power windows and locks, heated mirrors, and a six-speaker CD stereo are standard. EX models add an eight-way power driver's seat, automatic climate control, a premium audio system and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Leather seats are optional.
Under the Hood
The Optima's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine generates 161 horsepower and 163 pounds-feet of torque — significant power and torque gains over the 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the current Optima. Also offered is a 185-hp, 2.7-liter V-6. Available transmissions include a five-speed manual and a five-speed automatic that has a manual-shift mode.
Safety
All-disc brakes, side-impact airbags, side curtain-type airbags, active front head restraints and a tire-pressure-monitoring system are standard. Antilock brakes, traction control, an electronic stability system and brake assist are optional.
