2006 Kia Optima Auto Show Photo

Kia's bread-and-butter midsize sedan diverges from its former platform-mate, the Hyundai Sonata, with this new model. The new 2006 Kia Optima is on a longer wheelbase and wider body with more interior volume, Kia says, than the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, and new blue instrument panel lights. But it's not as big as the '06 Sonata, and Kia is emphasizing the base 161-horsepower 2.4-liter four over the optional 185-horsepower V-6. A nicely loaded 2006 Kia Optima four, in the tradition of Kia/Hyundai, will sticker for about the price of a Corolla or Civic. It's on sale this spring.
