The hype were so big, but finally here we have the Kia Optima Sportswagon. Some people said they’re dissapointed with the final result, some people said they like and should buy one, and here at The Korean Car Blog we want to know the opinion of our followers.
[ads id=”0″ style=”float:left;padding:9px;”]Inspired by the 2015 SPORTSPACE concept – shown for the first time at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show – the Optima Sportswagon offers the striking exterior design and high quality interior of the 2016 Optima sedan, with the added practicality and appeal of a tourer bodystyle, but it is not that sporty and muscle like the concept car.
The Optima Sportswagon will be available with a choice of efficient and responsive gasoline and diesel powertrains, including a high-powered GT model with a 2.0 Turbo GDi engine delivering 250 hp. The Optima Sportswagon is also equipped with a range of innovative safety assistance and infotainment features, ensuring maximum occupant safety, comfort and enjoyment.
And we have many questions, should Kia give an opportunity for this Optima Sportswagon in the US-market? Maybe only with a GT Sportswagon variant? Should you buy one if you live on the States?
Yes. Yes, Yes, Yes.
Even though I’ve already said I was disappointed, overall by this back door, and I do still think the same, in general terms it’s a good looking car, but I will wait until PHEV model, it’d be the perfect choice until the full BEVs.
