Performance that dominates the road

When Kia came in first in the 2014 Pirelli World Challenge GTS-Class Manufacturer
Championship with two competition GTS-class turbocharged Optimas, racing
enthusiasts were impressed that Kia bested Porsche and Aston Martin by
tallying more points to claim the championship. While those two retrofitted
racing machines were designed for the track, the 2016 Optima joins them
as a vehicle engineered to transform your everyday drive. Along with truly
exhilarating performance, Optima features a chassis that is long, wide, light,
and stiff, helping to provide a smooth ride with quick responsiveness.

ISO-STRUCTURETM CONSTRUCTION
The Optima features a uniquely engineered body that combines
various high-tensile strength steel alloys. This body structure helps
provide crash protection, improved driving dynamics, and is the
foundation for a quiet ride overall.
SIDE-IMPACT DOOR BEAMS
All doors are reinforced with steel beams to help absorb impact energy
and deflect side-impact force. In addition, the bodys support pillars
are also reinforced to help strengthen the body of the vehicle.
FRONT & REAR CRUMPLE ZONES
Both front and rear crumple zones are specially engineered to help
absorb and dissipate impact energy, helping to preserve the basic
structural integrity of the passenger compartment in certain collisions.
ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM
An advanced airbag system helps protect driver and passengers with
dual front, front seat-mounted side, and full-length side curtain airbags
and is complemented by a drivers knee airbag.15
AIRBAG & SEAT-BELT SENSORS
This advanced system monitors the severity of certain impacts, the
presence of a front passenger and seat-belt use, and then controls
airbag inflation accordingly,15 helping to ensure your peace of mind.
FRONT SEAT-BELT PRETENSIONERS
Pretensioners have been designed to tighten the front seat belts in
the event of certain collisions. This helps to reduce the likelihood of
injuries in some situations.
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE SEAT-BELT ANCHORS
The front height-adjustable seat-belt anchors allow the driver and
front-passenger seat belts to be raised and lowered for a proper fit.
FRONT & REAR 3-POINT SEAT BELTS
Three-point seat belts are standard for all seating positions, so that
each person is protected with an over-the-lap and shoulder seat belt.
LATCH SYSTEM
Easy-to-use Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system
is engineered to let you securely install a compatible child seat at
either end of the rear seat.

No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver errors,
driving conditions, accidents, and/or injury. Always drive responsibly.
