2014 Kia Optima Series

From redesigned seats in Kia Optima 2014 that make driving and riding more comfortable, to a spacious cabin full of refined features, the interior of the 2014 Kia Optima offers a heightened level of comfort and available amenities when compared to similar cars. To more review new series from Kia, it's Kia Optima 2014. Kia Optima 2014 is the current generation of the Kia Optima Series was a turning point for Kia Optima Series several years ago when it went on sale, replacing a homely, anonymous sedan with a bodacious new look. And now for 2014, the Kia Optima Series has been, well, optimized with a mid cycle revamp that doesn't mess too much with the Optima's attractive wrapper, which is still a standout in its class of mid-size sedans.

The Kia Optima's interior now includes a 4.3-inch TFT screen in the instrument panel and a newly optional eight-inch navigation and telematics screen. Occupants sit on redesigned seats, and a new optional blind-spot detection system incorporates rear cross-traffic alert. One more feature available only on the sporty Kia Optima SX like a drive mode selector, which sharpens the transmission's responses and allows the driver to toggle the power-assist levels of the steering.  Now comes time for the update, with the 2014 model year bringing freshened styling and a revised equipment roster. While the body of Kia Optima shell remains unchanged, Kia has replaced the front fascia with a more playful and more futuristic unit, which depending on the selected trim level incorporates regular or LED fog lights that crib their pod-like look from the European Pro cee’d GT. The nonfunctional fender vents receive a pronounced chrome wing, the LED taillights are updated, and the rear diffuser and trunk have been re-shaped in Kia Optima. While the Kia Optima is still quite handsome overall, the new detailing somewhat lacks cohesion with the rest of the design. Kia Optima is an odd hiccup from a company quickly becoming synonymous with great styling.
