The Kia Opirus, also known as the Amanti in some markets, was a mid-size luxury sedan produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2003 to 2009. Designed to compete with established players like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord in the premium segment, the Opirus aimed to showcase Kia's ambition to establish itself as a manufacturer of sophisticated and refined vehicles. The first generation Opirus, which spanned the years 2004-2009, was built on a modified Hyundai Sonata platform and featured a distinctive design language with a long, sloping hood, prominent grille, and elegant, flowing lines. It was available with a choice of two engines: a 2.7-liter V6 or a 3.5-liter V6, both mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Opirus offered a range of features that were typically found in luxury cars, including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, a power sunroof, and a premium sound system. Safety was also a priority, with the Opirus equipped with standard features like anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and multiple airbags. While the Opirus received mixed reviews for its handling and driving dynamics, it was generally praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and value proposition. Despite its efforts to make a mark in the luxury segment, the Opirus ultimately failed to achieve significant commercial success, leading to its discontinuation in 2009. The Opirus, however, served as a testament to Kia's commitment to developing sophisticated vehicles, paving the way for future luxury models like the K9 and the K8.
