DRIVE REVIEW
Pros : better looking data, good cargo
Cons : not quick, not coming to U.S. soon
2017 Kia Optima is better looking wagon and is not expensive, there are no plans by company to make it available for U.S. market. Equipped with four cylinder turbocharged is able to produce 139 horsepower at 4000 rpm and 251 lb-ft of torque at 1750 rpm.
European buyers has options to choose either 2.0 liter gasoline engine with turbocharger and 1.7 liter CRDi diesel. Also comes up with 6 speed manual and 7 speed dual clutch automatic transmission as expensive option. 139 horsepower is not more but enough to have a moderate turn speed, to have better driving keep engine inbetween 1750 and 3500 rpm. Automatic remains non economical and reduce acceleration performance than found in manual transmission.
