Kia Motors to unveil the next generation version of the popular Optima mid size sedan at the 2010 New York Auto Show
The view from the Summit
At Summit Place Kia in metro Detroit we have received new from Kia Motors that the company plans on unveiling the third generation of its Optima sedan at this year’s New York Auto Show in April. Although details of Kia’s newest vehicle are sketchy at this time (no pun intended), we have received sketches of the new Optima from Kia Motors in Korea as well as the following press release:
(SEOUL) February 22, 2010 – The next generation Kia Optima (also known as ‘Magentis’ in some markets) will make its public world premiere at the New York International Auto Show, which opens on Friday 2 April 2010. A fresh design from the ground up, Kia’s latest generation of its popular mid-size sedan is completely transformed and embodies a bold, athletic and sporty visual energy.
Longer, lower and wider than the previous generation model, the new Optima features a significantly longer wheelbase and will offer more space for people and cargo.
The next generation Optima will go on sale at Kia dealerships in the USA and in non-European markets from Fall 2010, while sales in Europe will begin in Spring 2011.
The world premiere of the next generation Optima will take place at the Kia Stand on Level 1 of the ‘Jacob Javits Center’ located between 34-39 Streets on 11th Avenue in New York City.
