For families, but also for business travellers or sports enthusiasts estate cars are often a particularly important part of everyday life. Responding to this need, the Kia Optima Sportswagon combines functionality with a strong sense of spacious elegance. Sharp lines underline its athletic body shape, while its strong, rising shoulder as well as the gently sloping, swept-back contour of the cabin create its distinctive body shape. The rear overhang adds greater volume to the back of the vehicle and is disguised elegantly by the raked rear window and tapering roofline. Placing comfort centre stage, the design of the interior impresses with a differentiated fine-tuning of all elements. The interior has emerged with an ambiance of modernity and premium quality appearance that consistently combines soft-touch materials with cloth and leather trim in natural tones as well as metallic accents. The wide dashboard, designed along a horizontal plane, further underlines the interior’s sense of spaciousness. The Kia Optima Sportswagon is equipped with contemporary infotainment and safety assistance features such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as autonomous emergency braking. Consistently adapted to the needs of the target group, the car is available with a choice of efficient gasoline and diesel powertrains, including a 245-cv GT model. Its sophisticated elegance convincingly combines with a new sense of generous space.
