18 Nov 2015
Following the announcement of its green car initiative with its new hybrid Niro, South Korean manufacturer Kia has launched its new Optima saloon.
The Optima will be available as a plug-in hybrid variant in 2016, with customers being offered the choice of either a 2.0 litre CVVL petrol or 1.7 litre CRDi diesel engine until the plug-in hits the market.
When taking into account it’s size, the Optima possesses reasonably low emissions figures, which could be an attractive proposition for fleet buyers. The model also offers adaptive cruise control, emergency brake assist, lane keeping assist, blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert.
Prices for the UK are likely to be confirmed shortly.
