Kia Malaysia has officially launched the facelifted Kia Optima GT in Malaysia, which is priced at RM169,888 on-the-road without insurance. The refreshed D-segment sedan gets a revised equipment list as well as styling enhancements, while retaining its powerful 2.0 litre turbocharged T-GDI petrol engine (245 PS/353 Nm) and six-speed automatic gearbox.
In terms of design, the Optima GT gets a new grille that incorporates a V-shaped mesh pattern within its frame. The bumper has also been swapped out for a new unit with larger corner inlets and a line of LEDs at either end as fog lamps.
Meanwhile, the LED combination taillights now come with new graphics, while in other areas of the car, there’s a revised diffuser piece amd the reflectors are repositioned higher. Returning items include a set of 18-inch fan-design alloy wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres (235/45 profile), plus the dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets.
The Optima’s cabin retains the familiar dashboard layout as before, with updates being a new steering wheel design; the seven-inch touchscreen gains an around view monitor camera system; and ambient lighting around the dash and doors.
Available features include a 4.3-inch multi-info instrument cluster display, powered front seats with memory function, keyless entry and start, paddle shifters, rear sunshades, heated and ventilated front seats, wireless charger, Smart Shift & Drive, sunroof, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, and an electronic parking brake.
Customers will get to choose from six exterior colours – Snow White Pearl, Aurora Black, Gravity Blue, and the newly introduced Silky Silver and Platinum Graphite. A five-year/unlimited mileage warranty comes as standard.

DRB old tricks
Optima CBU Korea vs Camry CBU Thai ,
looks good but at this kind of pricing in Malaysia … only few would pay this that kind of pricing, better off to wait for year end discount or 2018 cars and buy in 2019 for hefty discount
Waiting for this in used car market. Should be worth to get for a second car
not much diffrent frm P1 Perdana.
What’s the 0-100kph time for this Optima GT?
With that price tag, will anyone buy?
Do they think its a Camry or Accord or 6?
This is the highest spec Optima though…
This optima GT sits below lowest specs Kia Stinger
Never seen actual people buy and drive this on the road. Dead end brand.
Still having a 4.3″ info screen at this point of time, when all cheap and above smartphones come with 6″ screen is a blatant ignorence to market calls.
Got 7″ infotainment screen & 4.3″ multi-info display on the instrument cluster
Red interior I don’t like

G.carnival get 8 Speed lo..
Those no money buy then complain this and that. If no money just shut up la.
Only stupid people will buy this in Bolehland
