Kia is scheduled to introduce the all new Optima mid-sized sedan at the upcoming motor show in New York. However before the company can officially reveal the car, two images have been leaked onto the Internet. These two images shows us close-up views of various parts of the car.
We can look things like the headlights, the Schreyer grille, fog lamps with daytime LED running lights, the wrap-around taillights as well as the wheel. Kia promises that the new Optima is “bold” and has “sporty visual energy”. The Optima which will be known as the K5 in Korea is expected to be offered with a 2.0 litre CVVT and a 198hp 2.4 litre GDI 4-pot with direct injection. I have not seen the entire car in the flesh but I am expecting something that is very pleasing to the eye.

holicow! Now this really puts any german makes out of design genre hehe
awesomeness! ….let it be KIA……not NAZA…..
Damn nice!
wah. damm cool man,. GO GO KIA
korean rules the world ~ … in future
I am sure it is beautiful as it sister Hyundai Sonata
nice… Kia's designs have definitely improved alot!
Kia Msia should push more on the reliability aspect of their cars to draw more buyers. though the design looks good, many are still skeptical of the reliability. i am not saying it's not reliable, but they have to convince their potential customers.
i am sure many toyota or honda buyers will be drawn to kia now, or at least have another brand to look into.
FIRST..
love the sports rim
Look nice thought.
especially the LED part.
Audi wannabe? oh. ic.. their head design is an ex-audi man.
Waiting for the interior
this KIA revolution family is really a looker from its Sorento, Sportage, Forte and now Optima!
NAZA, pls do justice to the brand! give 5 yrs or 150,000 KM warranty! sure will convert many die hard Japanese brand customer.
Toyota or Honda salesman?
toyota and honda better be prepared with their next camry and accord…..seriously tough competition
those eyes!!! chun………
The automotive war is getting excited in 2011 ! looking forward !
impressive!
If price cheaper than Camry or Accord i think it will sell like hot cake!
wonder how interior look like? still have LED for room light? mayber blink2 LED like disko..hohoho bring it on KIA
Audi rip off…shame shame
it will be chepaer than camcord and selling hot!
lol lexus IS
the front resembles Saab..
Looks Kia Forte-ish at the rear lamp and grille…
But anyhow, its looks damn good!!!!..lol
apparently, a desperate jap car salesman trying to put down fire…
frustrated with this brand already
then jap wannabe…now korean wannabe?hehe…ROTFL!!!
Can't really judge from these shots. Please change the rims!
looks good, but looks alone wont justify good sales.
Well its the new KIA Cadzena or K7 in short for Korean market. All I could say Kudos to the Ex-Audi designer where u could notice the stream line of Audi in this design..its a one good leap for KIA…Good Job
