Optima here next summer

The Kia Optima large sedan will be going on sale in Ireland next summer, powered by a 1.7 diesel with emissions that put it into the A CO2 tax band here.

The new model makes  its European debut at the Paris Motor Show and will go on sale in Western Europe in 2011. The car is expected to significantly grow Kia’s market share in the D-segment.

The Optima is longer, lower, wider and has a longer wheelbase than any previous D-segment offering from Kia.
