Kia Optima Engines and Transmissions

For direct control over gear changes, the 2.4 MT pairs a gasoline engine with a manual transmission. Other Kia Optima engine choices include the automatic 2.4 AT hybrid and 1.7 TD diesel; hybrids generally suit stop-start traffic, while diesels often suit regular longer journeys. These selected examples all use front-wheel drive.

Kia Optima Trims and Equipment

When comparing Kia Optima trim levels, look beyond the engine and transmission designation. The 1.7 TD diesel automatic has equipment configurations named Panoramic. Check each car’s fitted features, their condition and how they work: an equipment name alone cannot tell you whether a particular example meets your needs.
