Technical characteristics of KIA Optima. Technical characteristics of the Kia Optima Kia Optima Technical characteristics

New sedan Kia Optima represents the Korean company Kia in the European D-class. For the first time, the four-door Kia Optima was officially presented at the New York auto show in the spring of 2011; Russian sales of the car started in February 2012. In fact, this is the third generation of Kia Magentis, but Korean marketers decided that in Europe, as in the USA, the car will be sold under the same sonorous name Optima. As part of our review, we will try to tell our readers in detail about the exterior and interior of the car, the proposed enamel color options for painting the body, installed on car tires, wheels and accessories. We will evaluate the convenience of seating for the driver and passengers, the size of the trunk, the ergonomics and quality of the interior materials, and the filling of the car with comfort and safety functions. Let's not ignore the technical specifications, conduct a test drive, find out the real fuel consumption and what is the price of a Korean Kia sedan Optima 2013 in Russia. Traditionally, our assistants will be reviews from owners, comments from auto journalists, photos and video materials.

The appearance of the Kia Optima sedan is so bright and attractive that it’s time to exhibit the car to participate in a beauty contest. Yes, and differently from the Korean manufacturer in last years it can not be. With the arrival of designer Peter Schreier to the company, the entire the lineup Kia began to look stylish and original, but most importantly, the cars now have a signature family style.

  • The Kia Optima sedan is not a small car, dimensions are: 4845 mm long, 1830 mm wide, 1455 mm high, 2795 mm wheelbase, 145-150 mm ground clearance (clearance).

The front part of the body is decorated with a signature radiator grille (covered with a fine mesh), located in the embrace of narrow headlights (xenon as an option). Sculpted front bumper fairing with an additional air intake slot, a bright aerodynamic lip along the lower edge, original fog lamp triangles and stylish touches of LED daytime running lights running lights. The large plane of the hood is outlined by two ribs that form relief transitions into the immodestly sized wheel arches of the sedan.

When viewing the car from the side, we reveal a harmonious, proportional body with a soft line of the roof falling towards the rear, mirrors with LED repeaters, a high side window sill, large doorways, a stylish rear roof pillar, large radii of wheel arches with neat edges, and a powerful rear part of the body. The rear of the sedan looks somewhat heavy, but is not devoid of attractiveness.

The powerful swollen rear arches harmoniously combine with the large bumper; these body parts look like a single whole, flowing so smoothly and harmoniously into one another. Large and beautiful shades of side lamps look like expensive crystal chandeliers, especially with LED filling. The trunk lid with a compact upper surface is complemented by a miniature spoiler (Premium version), its large vertical part when opened, it provides convenient access to the luggage compartment. The Kia Optima sedan really looks great, most importantly, it is harmonious and original.

  • The successful exterior design is complemented by bright enamel colors: Snow White Pearl, Satin Metal, Bright Silver, Light Graphite, Platinum Graphite, Santorini Blue. , Metal Bronze, Golden Beat, Spicy Red, Temptation Red and Ebony Black.
  • A beautiful car needs stylish alloy wheels; the Kia Optima has everything in order with tires and wheels. All versions, starting with the basic one, sport light alloy wheels from size 16 to 18. For the Comfort version, wheels 205/65/R16, Luxe and Prestige are equipped with 215/55/R17 tires, a rich Premium package with 225/45/R18 tires on sports wheels.

The Kia Optima's interior is large, matching the external dimensions of the sedan. The driver and his four companions will be accommodated in the first and second rows with a noticeable margin in all directions.
Let's first evaluate the convenience of the rear row. Three passengers will be accommodated comfortably, there is plenty of legroom, a tunnel on the floor of minimal height, it is convenient to get in and out of the car, there are ventilation deflectors. The strongly tilted backrest of the seats somewhat spoils the positive impression, but it is possible that this drawback can also be counted among the advantages that provide an imposing seating position. As a bonus in expensive trim levels rear seats with heating, and at maximum even with ventilation.
The front seats with insufficient lateral support will be comfortable for large drivers and passengers. Beginning with basic configuration Heated seats in the first row and electric lumbar support for the driver's seat are installed. As the cost of the sedan increases, first the driver's seat, and then the passenger's, will acquire electrical adjustments, and the driver's seat will also have a memory of the settings.

The driver's workplace is worthy of praise: convenient, multifunctional steering wheel with height and depth adjustment, informative and beautiful Supervision devices with color screen trip computer(not available in the initial Comfort configuration), which displays a lot of useful information, including the position of the front wheels!!!, the center console is turned towards the driver, a high tunnel with the gear knob placed in the right place, a comfortable armrest. Using the audio system, climate control knobs, and auxiliary function buttons is pleasant and convenient. The interior finishing materials are soft textured plastics, fabric, artificial and natural leather - pleasant to the touch. The assembly of interior elements is neat and of high quality.

Already elementary Kia equipment Optima boasts a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear selector, 8 airbags, separate climate control, fairly advanced music (CD MP3 AUX USB 6 speakers) with steering wheel controls, ABS, ESS, electric power steering, electric drive folding function and heated mirrors, heated wiper rest zone, fog lights and LED daytime running lights, adaptive sports shock absorbers.
The richly packaged Kia Optima Premium sedan, in addition to the above options, has a sports bumper and a spoiler on the trunk lid, xenon turning headlights, LED lamps in marker lamps, combined seat trim (fabric and leather), heated steering wheel, faux leather trim on door panels, dashboard and center console, illuminated door sills, aluminum pedal covers, Smart Key keyless entry with push-button engine start, electric handbrake , electric driver and passenger seats, heated and ventilated rear seats, panoramic roof and electric sunroof, rain and light sensors, cruise control, Infinity audio system with 7 speakers, color screen for displaying navigator maps and images from the rear view camera, parking sensors, parallel parking assistant, electronic stability control (ESC), active steering system (VSM) and hill start assist (HAC).
The trunk of the Korean sedan Kia Optima is designed to accommodate 505 liters of cargo, the opening is large and comfortable. You can significantly increase the sedan's cargo capacity by lowering the backrests of the rear seats.

Specifications Kia Optima 2012-2013: for Russian car enthusiasts, the car is offered with two four-cylinder gasoline engines:

  • A 2.0-liter MPI (150 hp) paired with a 6-speed manual transmission (or a 6-speed automatic transmission) accelerates the sedan to 100 mph in 9.5 (10.6) seconds and a top speed of 210 (208 mph). Depending on the installed gearbox and equipment, the curb weight of the vehicle varies from 1443 kg to 1526 kg. The rated fuel consumption in mixed mode is 7.0 (7.6) liters.

In real operating conditions, a two-liter engine in tandem with an automatic transmission consumes 7-7.5 liters on a country highway, 11-13 liters in urban mode, with a manual transmission gasoline consumption is slightly lower - 6.5-7 liters outside the city and 10-12 in the city .

  • The 2.4-liter MPI (180 hp) is paired with 6 automatic transmissions and provides speed up to 100 mph in 9.5 seconds, with a top speed of 210 mph. Claimed fuel consumption in combined mode is 8.1 liters. Depending on the installed options, the vehicle weight ranges from 1542 kg to 1619 kg.

In real conditions, this engine will require 7-7.5 liters on the highway and 12-13 liters in city mode when driving in heavy traffic.
The Kia Optima sedan is built on a front-wheel drive platform, the suspension is completely independent, MacPherson struts in front, multi-link in the rear, electric power steering, disc brakes.

Test drive of the Kia Optima 2013: the suspension makes an ambivalent impression, the chassis does not notice small and medium-sized road irregularities and potholes, the car seems to float above the road, there is silence in the cabin. The suspension notices broken roads with large potholes, sharp edges of road surface joints, and tram rails and transfers shocks to the body and interior. Steering with a pleasant heaviness on the steering wheel, but, alas, the information content is very weak. You don’t want to aggressively take turns while driving the Optima; its strong point is excellent directional stability when driving on a straight road with minimal turns. Even at a speed of 150-160 km/h the car holds the road remarkably well, making driving a pleasure. In our opinion, the car was created mainly for the US market; it is for this reason that the steering is devoid of sharpness, the suspension is tuned for comfort, and the brake pedal is tight and uninformative. It’s worth noting right away that the 2.0 (150 hp) engine is rather weak for a sedan weighing under 1500 kg.
In general, the car deserves attention thanks to its luxurious appearance, a large and comfortable interior, assembled from high-quality materials, a wide selection of trim levels. But the question of price raises some doubts.

How much does it cost: the price in Russia for a 2012-2013 Kia Optima in car dealerships starts at 959,900 rubles for the initial Comfort package, which is quite modest by business class standards with a 150-horsepower engine and mechanics. To buy a Kia Optima with 2.4 (180 hp 6 automatic transmission) at an official dealer’s showroom costs from 1,139,900 rubles for the Luxe package, and at the top is the sale of the expensive Premium version for a cost of 1,339,900 rubles. Issues such as tuning, maintenance, repairs and spare parts are resolved mainly through the official service. However, spare parts for Kia Optima, like any other Kia cars, it is quite possible to order online yourself, and at the same time, as usual, save money.
So whether the Korean business sedan Kia Optima is the best choice is for car enthusiasts to decide. Let us just add that the quality of workmanship Korean cars has improved significantly in recent years and is comparable to Japanese cars.

Ground clearance Kia Optima or ground clearance, just like for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence that makes Russian motorists interested in the ground clearance of the Kia Optima.

To begin with, it’s worth saying honestly that real ground clearance Kia Optima may differ significantly from what is stated by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method and location of measuring ground clearance. Therefore, you can find out the real state of affairs only by arming yourself with a tape measure or ruler. Official Kia ground clearance Optima since 2010 equals 145 mm, after restyling in 2014, the ground clearance has not changed. However, the new generation of the sedan from 2016, which is offered on Russian market pleased with the increase in clearance to 155 mm.

Some manufacturers use a trick and declare the amount of ground clearance in an “empty” car, but in real life we ​​have a trunk full of all kinds of things, passengers and a driver. That is, in a loaded car the ground clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people take into account is the age of the car and the wear and tear of the springs—their “sagging” due to age. The issue can be resolved by installing new springs or purchasing spacers for Kia Optima sagging springs. Spacers allow you to compensate for spring subsidence and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even an inch of curb parking makes a difference.

But you shouldn’t get carried away with “lifting” the ground clearance of the Kia Optima, because spacers to increase ground clearance are focused only on springs. If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the travel of which is often very limited, then independently upgrading the suspension can lead to loss of controllability and damage to the shock absorbers. From the point of view of cross-country ability, high ground clearance in our harsh conditions is good, but at high speeds on the highway and in corners, serious sway and additional body roll appear.

On production Kia Optima, actual ground clearance can vary depending on the wheels installed from 140 to 160 mm. In Russia, the sedan is equipped with wheels and tires of the following order: 215/60 R16, 215/55 R17 or 235/45 R18. To increase ground clearance on sagging springs, the Kia Optima mainly uses so-called interturn spacers or urethane autobuffers. There is a lot of debate about the effectiveness of autobuffers. But here's a video from Korea showing how it works in practice.

Any car manufacturer, when designing the suspension and choosing the ground clearance, looks for a middle ground between handling and cross-country ability. Perhaps the simplest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase clearance is to install wheels with “high” tires. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase the ground clearance by another centimeter. Do not forget that a serious change in ground clearance can damage the Kia Optima CV joints. After all, the “grenades” will have to work from a slightly different angle. But this only applies to the front axle.

One of the most successful Kia models Optima underwent an update in 2016, and we're talking about not about another restyling, but about a change of generations. Although you can’t tell from the outside, since the fourth generation sedan at first glance is practically no different from its predecessor. When you look at the photos of the fourth Optima, you can’t help but wonder: why was it necessary to spend a lot of resources to cook the old, not yet forgotten, only with a new sauce? However, upon closer examination, you understand that this is still a really modernized model, the improvements of which are completely justified. Read about what it is in our review!

Design

Changes to the Optima's exterior are minimal. Many details, proportions and silhouette have been preserved, but in rear pillars Windows were cut, and the parting lines of the cargo compartment door and hood were also changed. The originality of the four-door is emphasized by embossed sidewalls, narrow headlights and rear lights, graceful door handles and a narrowed signature radiator grille in the “tiger smile” style (it would be more accurate to call it a “grin”), and fairly large exterior mirrors provide good visibility. During the modernization, the length, height and wheelbase of the car increased by 10 mm, and the width increased by 30 mm, which cannot be seen in the photo, but can be felt in the cabin - it has definitely become a little more spacious than before.


By the way, the trunk of the new product, like the previous version, is spacious - it holds 510 liters. luggage at least. The luggage compartment lid hinges are now wrapped in plastic. If we talk about the design in general, then the Optima 2016 is very stylish and modern - it’s not a shame to go with friends to a fashionable party in such a car, especially since you don’t immediately recognize it as “Asian”, except perhaps by the nameplates. In the city, a Korean sedan is always appropriate and looks “at home”, demonstrating quite urban habits.

Design

The platform of the fourth Optima is borrowed from the previous generation model and modified to improve handling. The MacPherson front suspension subframe is now attached to the body not through 2, but through 4 bushings, the rear trailing arms have slightly increased in length (due to this, the distance between the wheel axles has increased by 10 mm - to 2.805 m), and their silent blocks have become more rigid. The attachment points for the subframes to the body were placed wider, the front wheel bearings were strengthened, and alloy wheels The wheels were made stiffer by as much as 83%.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

In order to improve the Optima's position on the Russian market, the suspension was not only improved, but the ground clearance was also increased from 135 to 155 mm - thanks to the high ground clearance, the sedan became more confident in overcoming various obstacles on the roads. In addition, the four-door received a rich “winter” package of options - it includes heated windshield in the rest area of ​​the windshield wipers, all seats, side mirrors and steering wheel without exception. Kia has also worked on sound insulation: the level of noise and vibration has been reduced by a couple of percent due to new window seals and more effective insulation under the floor and behind the dashboard.

Comfort

The interior of the new generation model is slightly more spacious than its predecessor, which is mainly due to the increase in size. This is especially noticeable in the second row seats, where there is more legroom and headroom. The knees of the rear passengers will be comfortable, even if you move the front seats all the way back. The windows in the rear doors do not go down all the way; manually pulled curtains are only available in the top-end GT Line and GT trim levels. In addition, there are air ducts, a 12-volt socket and a USB port for charging mobile devices at the rear. In front, wireless charging of a smartphone is possible on a special platform in the center console (in Prestige, GT Line and GT versions).


The first-row seats have a rigid frame, side support bolsters that are set too wide, pleasant-to-touch leather upholstery, as well as heating and ventilation functions. The driver's seat has a wide range of longitudinal adjustment, and the front passenger seat has electric drive control buttons on the side, thanks to which the person sitting behind can, if necessary, move the empty seat back and thereby free up legroom. The quality of the seats and the interior as a whole does not raise any questions. The center console is turned towards the driver and attracts attention with climate control and media system units made in the BMW style. The selected temperature mode is displayed on the central display - there is no need to look for it next to the climate controls. Next to the gearshift lever are buttons for heated steering wheel, selection of driving modes (Sport and Normal) and all-round video review. The Optima's steering wheel is excellent - with leather braiding, manual gear shift paddles (all 2-pedal models) and a rim truncated at the bottom (in GT Line and GT versions). The instrument cluster is no frills, but quite informative. In the center dashboard“prescribed” information display with a diagonal of 3.5 to 4.3 inches, depending on the configuration.


In terms of safety, the Optima 2016 outperforms many of its competitors, since already in the “base” it is equipped with front and side airbags, as well as various “smart assistants”, including:


In the initial configuration, the sedan is equipped with a simple CD/MP3 audio system with six speakers, Bluetooth and AUX/USB connectors. The Harman/Kardon audio center with ten speakers (including a subwoofer with an external amplifier) ​​went to the most expensive versions. Starting with the Luxe version, the car is equipped with a multimedia complex with TomTom navigation, display of traffic jams and recording cameras, a large touch screen and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies. The touchscreen displays images from all-round cameras.
