Home News Auto News All-New 2015 Kia Optima Revealed For The European Market All-New 2015 Kia Optima Revealed For The European Market Auto News Gerard | August 26, 2015 10:56 am The all-new 2015 Kia Optima has been revealed in its European specification, a few months after the D-segment sedan made its global debut at this year’s New York International Auto Show.First up, the fourth-generation Optima is bigger than its predecessor with a length of 4,855mm (10mm increase), width of 1,860mm (25mm increase), and height of 1,465mm (10mm increase). This increase in vehicle size also accommodates a 10mm increase in wheelbase to 2,805mm, which should provide more legroom for rear passengers. Boot space gets a boost to 510 litres as well (5 litre increase).Underneath the metal, the chassis is now stiffer with more than 50% of the body being made from high-strength steel. Together with an increased use of carbon fibre-reinforced plastics and structural adhesive, Kia has also concentrated on reducing NVH levels for a more comfortable experience.For the European market, a 1.7-litre CRDi diesel engine producing 139hp and 340Nm will be offered, paired to either a seven-speed DCT or six-speed manual transmission. The sole petrol offering is a 2.0-litre GDI four-cylinder engine but will be expended to include a plug-in hybrid and a high-performance powerplant in the future, possibly fitted on the Optima GT variant.As for its design, the all-new Kia Optima is virtually unchanged from the one that debuted in New York in April with the signature tiger nose grille at the front. Inside, sees the choice of a seven- or eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Kia’s AVN software, as well as more soft-touch materials utilised around the cabin.Unlike the United States variant of the Optima which is built locally there in Georgia, the European variant originates from Korea, as are the Malaysian-spec models.The all-new Kia Optima will make its first public debut in Europe during the Frankfurt Motor Show next month and will go on sale there during the fourth quarter of 2015. ✕ Let's Connect on Whatsapp We protect your personal information in compliance with the PDPA I agree with Carlist.my Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
