The first official photos of the Euro-spec KIA Optima were leaked on the internet before the official presentation of the model and its upcoming debut at the Frankfurt auto show in September.
The European KIA Optima differs a bit from the corresponding US-spec, with the most significant differences found on the bumpers and graphics of the front lights.
According to rumors, the top of the range Euro-spec Optima will be available with a 1.7 liter turbo diesel engine that delivers 141 hp with 340 Nm of torque, which will be combined with either a six-speed, manual transmission, or a 7-speed automatic dual-clutch.
