Are you wondering why the 2022 auto rollouts did not include the 2022 Kia Optima? If you're a fan of this popular model, discover how the 2022 Kia K5 may fill the void. What Happened to the Kia Optima? The Kia Optima still lives. It has just undergone a reworking and a name change, and it's not the first time. When the Optima model made its debut in 2000, it was known as the Optima throughout most of the world, although in certain regions it was called the Magentis. more In South Korea, though, the name Kia K5 was the standard-bearer for this mid-size car. Following the retirement of the Optima name in 2021, the K5 has become the name of choice globally for this iconic line. So, long story short, the Kia K5 is the direct successor of the Kia Optima. Kia Optima: The Last Ride The final generation under the Optima name ran to 2020. Features of the mid-size sedan included five roomy seats, optional turbocharged engines, and hybrid options. It could get an impressive amount of horsepower and with hybrid versions, efficiency was top-tier. Upgrades to the suspension and chassis and the addition of an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission further improved this ride's performance capabilities. It also touted solid safety features like automatic emergency braking as well as an infotainment system. 2022 Kia K5: A New Journey Kia is taking the success it earned in the mid-size market and building on it with the K5. With affordability and style, this sedan offers many of the same features that initially made drivers fall in love with the Optima. You'll still have ample room with five comfortable seats. The car itself is about 193 inches long and 57 inches high, similar to its previous Optima iteration. You can choose from five attractive trims: LX, LXS, GT-Line, EX, and GT. No matter the trim, the K5 still delivers Kia excellence and style. Performance Front-wheel drive is standard on the K5, but drivers of the LXS or GT-Line can choose available all-wheel drive. A 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine serves up respectable horsepower, but for maximum heft drivers can go for the GT trim and the turbo-charged 290-horsepower beast. A sporty exterior pairs well with a quiet interior to strike just the right balance and carry on the Optima high-performing tradition. Premium Features With the GT-Line Premium Package, you get a healthy dose of luxury and comfort. LED projector headlights, a panoramic sunroof, and a toasty heated steering wheel are a few of the perks. Other premium additions, like the over 10-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera system and the ultra-helpful standard navigation, are available in trims other than the GT-Line. Safety Highway driving assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and forward-collision and lane-departure warning are just some of the reasons to invest in the security of this five-star safety-rated ride. And add in an extra layer of security with that industry-leading 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
