Kia’s upgraded Optima, which we first saw at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show has gone on sale across Ireland. This upgraded Optima features new headlights, fog lamps, rear lights, bumpers and wheels. The LED daytime running lights have been moved from the bumper into the headlight. In Ireland the Optima features a sports pack which adds a mesh front grille, chrome trim around the lower air-intake, unique 18” alloy wheels and a matt-black rear diffuser. There’s just one high specification model on offer, the Optima Platinum priced at €30,950. It’s powered by a 1.7-litre diesel engine that produces 134hp. For further details please visit www.kia.ie
