New Kia Optima: Two Styling Paths For Australian Model

Kia has today confirmed that its new Optima sedan will be sold in Australia with two distinct looks, mirroring the approach taken in the Korean market.

Headlining the range will be the turbocharged sports model revealed in April, while a more tame look will feature on lower grades.

That less aggressive, less ‘blingy’ look was first revealed in March, when an uncamouflaged Korean-market Optima - known there as the K5 - was spied on the roads of Seoul during filming for a new TV advertisement.
