This model by Kia Motors got the huge success in 2011 Auto market and the index of it increases daily. Highly developed features of new version of Kia Optima are really perfect: new interior, exterior, performance and etc.

Besides these trims there will be released two models of 2011 Kia Optima - 2011 Optima Turbocharged sport version with 2.0-L engine and 2011 Gasoline-Electric Hybrid Version.

Turning the focus towards the salient features of new Optima, anti-lock braking system, FM/AM/CD/ Cassette player and power antenna will be standard across all models, while the leather upholstery, wood/leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 4-way adjustable power passenger seats and many more impressive features will be available optionally.

Under the hood, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder is standard with a 2.0-liter turbo-charged four-cylinder optional. The hybrid is also paired with the 2.4-liter engine and is expected to offer some of the best fuel economy in its class. Kia makes use of six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions, depending on trim level.

Safety is an important feature too for the Optima and this model competes well in all areas including airbags, stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control, brake assist and hill climb assist. Expect that this model will enjoy high crash test marks when those numbers are finalized this year.

The Kia Optima raced in several amateur rally events and, although it never claimed a victory, proved to be a close competitor to the rally machines in its class. From its sparing use of chrome to its plain Jane wheels, the Optima is deeply, wildly inoffensive. Measured against the '07 Accord EX V6, the Optima LX comes up short in acceleration, mileage and toys. But the Kia Optima is a nice car for the price. The Kia Optima is priced below competing models and typically represent a good value when taking into consideration their high feature content.

After reviewing the 2010 Kia Optima Engine Options, most buyers have actually opted for the smaller 2.4 Liter V4 engine simply because of slightly better fuel economy. While the acceleration is improved on the 2.7 Liter V6, the difference has proven not to be significant enough to entice buyers into having lesser miles to the gallon. Either choice is appropriate and is more than enough to make the car an adequately enjoyable driving experience.
