Kia Optima Engines and Transmissions
Among the Kia Optima engine options, the gasoline 2.0 MT gives you manual gear control, while the hybrid 2.0 AT combines electric assistance with an automatic transmission. The diesel 1.6 TD AT also uses an automatic; diesel power generally suits regular longer journeys. All three examples have front-wheel drive.

Kia Optima Trims and Equipment
Kia Optima trim levels include EX and Premium for the diesel 1.6 TD AT. These equipment configurations share the same named powertrain, so focus on the features you will use daily. Check the individual car’s specification for seat adjustments, climate controls and parking aids rather than relying on its trim badge alone.
