Kia Optima Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2000–2003)

Kia Optima Engines and Transmissions

Selected Kia Optima powertrain examples combine a gasoline engine with front-wheel drive. The 2.0 AT handles gear changes for you, while the 2.0 MT gives you manual control. The 2.0 CVT uses continuously variable ratios, so engine speed can behave differently from a conventional automatic during acceleration.
