The all-new 2016 Kia Optima is available in the United
States with a range-topping SXL grade equipped with a 2.0-liter GDI turbo
engine.
Carried over from the
previous-generation model, the 2.0-liter turbo delivers 245hp at 6,000 rpm and
260lb-ft (352Nm) of torque at 1,350 rpm and is mated to a six-speed automatic
transmission with paddle shifters.
On 2016 Optima SXL models, Kia’s signature
tiger-nose grille is "hot stamped and composed into a sophisticated
pinpoint design that bears a strong resemblance to Kia’s luxury sedan, the
K900" - those are Kia's words, not ours...
From there on, it's all
about the equipment, with the Optima SXL getting
standard Bi-Xenon HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Lamps and High Beam
Assist, as well as LED halo-style taillights that mimic those from the Cadenza.
The newly-designed 18-inch alloy wheels are also unique to the SXL grade.
Inside, the 2016 Kia
Optima SXL features Nappa leather trim as well as heated and ventilated, power
adjustable front seats.
