The Kia Magentis, marketed as the Kia Optima in some regions, was a mid-size sedan produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2000 to 2006. It marked a significant departure from Kia's previous offerings, introducing a more refined and contemporary design language that aimed to attract a wider range of buyers. The Magentis/Optima featured a spacious interior, comfortable seating, and a smooth ride, all while offering competitive fuel efficiency. It was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, including a 2.0-liter petrol engine and a 2.0-liter diesel engine, offering various power outputs and transmission options, including manual and automatic.

The Magentis/Optima was a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a well-rounded sedan that provided a balance of comfort, practicality, and affordability. It received generally positive reviews for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and value for money. However, some critics noted its relatively uninspiring handling and lack of dynamic performance compared to its competition. Despite these shortcomings, the Magentis/Optima proved to be a successful model for Kia, contributing to the company's growing reputation for building reliable and affordable cars. Its legacy continues today with the current generation Kia Optima, which has evolved into a more stylish and technologically advanced sedan, carrying the torch of the original Magentis/Optima and solidifying Kia's position in the global automotive market.
