Overview
Daily, Monthly, Annual Car Rental Kia Optima new
Kia Optima is a mid-size sedan whose first generation was launched in 2000 and its production continued until 2005. The third generation of this car was introduced in 2010 and was on Kia’s production line until 2015. In 2014, a facelift was carried out on Optima and it was launched with two 2-liter and 2.4-liter engines, with the 2.4-liter engine entering the Iranian market.
Kia Optima’s appearance
In the front view, the elongated and angular lights that are connected to the front grille are made of xenon and have the ability to turn in corners, while looking modern and luxurious at the same time. The narrow air vent located on the bumper with 4 LED fog lights are installed on its sides, in terms of the slope of the volume lines and the appearance design, it is in perfect harmony with the main lights and the front grille.
In the side view, the shoulder line starts from the headlight and ends at the taillight, and the lower door sills start from the front fender and continue to the rear fender. The profile of the side doors is high compared to the height of the car, along with the steep slope of the black panoramic roof in contrast to the short smoked windows, giving this view a special character that is complemented by the 18-inch aluminum wheels.
In the rear view, the elongated lights that extend to the tailgate have disrupted the proportion of the front and rear design, and in fact, the rough design and use of broken lines of the taillights in the pre-facelift model were more attractive. The new rear design of the car has resulted in the removal of the small spoiler above the trunk and the use of LED rear lights.

The Kia Optima seats are covered in black artificial leather and have electrical adjustment in 6 different directions with 3 memories, and their ergonomics are such that they fit the occupants’ bodies well.
The leg and head space for the driver is comfortable and suitable; but the front passenger may have problems due to the dashboard, and the head space for tall people may be low for the rear seats due to the slope of the roof. The steering wheel is three-spoke and very handy; the buttons for adjusting the audio system, answering the phone and the cruise control system are installed on it.

The Infinity audio system with CD playback and touch-screen information display, around which the dual air conditioning vents are installed, is visible on the upper part of the console.

Driving Experience with Kia Optima
We press the brake pedal and press the start-stop button, in this case the odometer and tachometer needles go all the way and return, and the engine starts; due to proper insulation, the engine sound does not penetrate the cabin. Using the button next to the gear lever, we release the handbrake and put the gear in D mode. The car starts moving slowly and the engine sound is not too loud at low engine speeds. Gear changes are done well with little delay; the 6-speed tiptronic gearbox of this car keeps the engine speed low during city trips to reduce fuel consumption. The gearbox of this car works very well even without being in manual mode, and you can easily shift into reverse; but due to the poor response of the accelerator pedal, you cannot reverse; even in neutral, the engine speed is a little slow to fill when pressing the accelerator pedal.
The engine sound is heard at high speeds, but it is not annoying, on the contrary, it is enjoyable. As the car’s speed increases, the steering wheel becomes firmer and its steering becomes easier. When turning on winding roads at high speed, it feels a little disobedient due to the car’s heavy weight; but due to the good ergonomics, the speed wheel is completely under the driver’s control. The car’s disc brakes and driver assistance systems work very well. By pressing the ECO button under the steering wheel, the display of the engine speedometer and odometer turns green; in this case, the car’s power is reduced and fuel consumption is reduced.
The positive points of this car include the good ergonomics of the cabin, various and good amenities, attractive appearance and efficient fuel consumption.
