The 2017 Kia Optima is Back and Better than Ever

Kia’s best-selling midsized sedan returns for 2017 after a complete redesign last year that made it an even better vehicle than before. All-new styling takes previous generations’ award-winning features and refines them for a stylish yet handsome design that’s sure to garner looks. The Optima has been stretched slightly for improved rear legroom as well as more trunk space, while the suspension has been reworked for both better ride and better handling.

But it wasn’t just the exterior that Kia’s engineers lavished their attention on, the interior was also refreshed. Soft-touch materials and a revised layout for better ergonomics make the Optima’s cabin more comfortable and refined than before. Plus, a raft of new technology is included to make this new Kia even easier and safer to drive.

So if you’re ready to test drive the new 2017 Kia Optima for yourself, then come to Port City Kia in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. We have plenty of 2017 Optima’s in our new vehicle inventory, while you can still find lightly-used models from 2016 and 2015 in our used vehicle inventory. Either way, our expert sales consultants can find the perfect Optima for you.
