Kia Optima 2012 Hard blow To Rivals
The Koreans were the first to offer a basic warranty of 5 years/100, 000 km, indicating that the reliability of their products improved. To deal the death blow to the competition, Kia and Hyundai (the two Korean companies are involved) hired renowned designers. For example, Kia Optima 2012, we went to get Peter Schreyer, author of the New Beetle and the Audi TT.
Propensity for sin
The Kia Optima 2012, which replaces the defunct front-yourself-to-die Magentis (which was already called Optima in all other markets, the question of property rights held by GM’s name), is a product Schreyer . As attractive as sin, Optima has lines that seem to cut with a knife, but still fairly traditional. Its very close cousin Hyundai, Sonata, also has a great look, but I do not think it will age as well as the Optima. We’ll talk about four or five years … Anyway, the Optima is now seem very sad Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Chevrolet Malibu others.
Regular or turbo?…….Kia Optima 2012
To allow the Optima to advance, Kia Optima 2012Â uses the same engine as Hyundai, is only four cylinders. The offer starts with a 2.4-liter 200 horsepower, which is not nothing! Called GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine that allows modern power and torque (186 lb-ft at 4250 rpm / min) while consuming sparingly. In addition to the basic version of Office with a six-speed manual transmission, all others have a six-speed automatic operation without reproach. There is a manual mode, but as the box changes the relationship when she feels it is necessary, During our week of testing, we asked Optima 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers, which is good, but more than what Kia Optima 2012Â promises.
On the wheel, no matter the variant, there is a button “Eco” which allows a more ecological driving. But as this mode optimizes the engine and transmission for maximum economy, we revert to performance. Within a few months, a hybrid version will appear. Again, Kia Optima 2012Â was fishing on the side of Hyundai and no doubt that this engine is virtually identical to that of the Sonata.
Kia Optima 2012
To differentiate the cousin Hyundai, Kia Optima 2012Â does not rely solely on design. The chassis, like the powertrain, may well be the same as the Sonata, engineers have modified the suspension settings to get a more dynamic behavior. Thus we are left with a very rigid Optima chassis and suspension (MacPherson front and multilink rear) strong enough. Some may even find it too hard, but the dynamic driving enthusiasts will love. And we are still not in the presence of a Massey-Ferguson 1953 … Direction shown precision and vivacity, but at the price of a certain heaviness, not to mention a certain heaviness, especially at low speed.
We can not predict the success of the Kia Optima 2012Â in our market. However, it is undeniable that just brought a blow to competition in commanding a price much lower than what would be right to think at first glance. Moreover, even if the reliability is not yet known, we can expect that it is, at worst, average. The road to success is wide open and Kia Optima 2012Â has obviously the pedal.
