2017 Kia Optima UNBOXING Review - It's Shocking A Kia Looks This Good

Today's unboxing review is of a mid-size sedan we think more buyers need to know about, the 2017 Kia Optima. For those who recall, the first couple Optima generations were nothing more than boring econoboxes. There was absolutely zero excitement. But things began to change back in 2010 and today's current genemperiod of time. Our Optima is the SX Turbo, powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, and paired to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Based on looks alone, the 2017 Optima looks more expensive than it really is. The interior looks somewhat Audi-like. But perhaps our biggest issue with this Optima is that it doesn't drive as sporty as it looks. Still though, Kia has become - dare we say - a design leader in the industry lately and the Optima is proof. Driving a family mid-size sedan doesn't have to be bland. It's about time sedans in this class become more stylish. Enjoy the review!
