Показать описание
The 2019 Kia Optima is expected to arrive later this year. For its mid-cycle refresh, the midsize sedan will be updated with new features that have been previewed by the 2018 Kia K5.

Optima and K5 are essentially just different nameplates for the same vehicle. The latter is designed for the automaker's home base, South Korea, while the former is meant for Western markets such as the United States and Europe. As such, the updates for the recently unveiled 2018 K5 are expected to be carried over to the fourth-generation Optima.

The midsize sedan's front fascia will feature an updated tiger nose grille with vertical slats, a sportier bumper, revised headlights and LED daytime running lights. The rear, on the other hand, has updated LED taillights, reflectors on the bumper and a diffuser. Meanwhile, the midsize sedan's dynamic profile is accented by new alloy wheels.

As for the cabin, not much has changed from the current-generation Optima. However, there are a few tweaks peppered throughout the luxurious and refined cabin. This includes a slightly different steering wheel, new upholstery options, ambient lighting and Kia's latest UVO infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen display.

The 2018 K5 has four different powertrain options — a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque; a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated gasoline engine that yields 163 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque; a 1.7 turbocharged diesel engine that produces 141 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque; and a 2.0-liter LPG unit with 163 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque.

There's no confirmation yet which engines will be powering the 2019 Optima.

In terms of available technologies, there is Highway Driving Assist (HDA) — which maintains the midsize sedan's speed on highways, adjusts its distance from other cars, automatically changes speed and assists the driver with steering — as well as Lane Keep Assist and a rearview camera.

Kia has not yet announced a specific launch date for the 2019 Optima.

I was in the market to buy a V8. Was looking at Mustang or Charger but when I test drove the Optima I was sold. I was impressed with everything and not to mention the 36 miles per gallon on highway was an instant no brainer. I love this car and doing some upgrades. I am changing the emblems to k5 badges!

Looks nice, I love the additional ambient lighting just wish they would give it 7 inch helper screen.

Why do they call it K5?
Also, they should put dual exhaust on both the LX and EX trim. I feel like they would receive a lot more customers

Wish they'd put the Speedo back in the middle like the earlier versions
