This is what we know so far about the specs of the Upcoming Cars in 2011 Kia Optima:
Pricing: the current Kia Optima sells for about $18,000 MSRP. Pricing may increase somewhat, but the official pricing announcement should come out shortly before its official release.
Fuel economy: the new, more aerodynamic Optima with its new engine could see as much as 35 mpg highway. Official estimates will be available as the release date approaches.
Engine: the standard engine is probably a 2.4-liter, 198 horsepower engine; a V6 engine is likely to be offered as an option.
Acceleration: as the Optima’s exterior has been completely redesigned and the engine is new, the Optima’s ability to accelerate remains unknown. Models should be available for road tests later on in the year.
Car safety features: most of the car safety features in the current model are likely to be included in the new Kia Optima, including antilock brakes, stability control, and side curtain airbags.
Warranty: five-year/60,000 mile basic and roadside assistance warranties; ten-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty
