The KIA Opirus, marketed as the Amanti in some markets, was a mid-size luxury sedan produced by Kia Motors from 2003 to 2009. It was the flagship model for the Korean automaker during its early foray into the premium car segment. The Opirus aimed to compete with established players like the Toyota Avalon and the Honda Accord, touting a spacious and comfortable interior, a powerful V6 engine, and a long list of standard features. It was designed with a conservative, elegant styling, featuring a large, imposing grille, flowing lines, and a generous wheelbase that provided ample legroom for its passengers.

The Opirus was powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 200 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. It offered a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the latter being a noteworthy feature for a sedan in its class. While the Opirus's performance was respectable, its true strength lay in its comfort and refinement. The plush interior featured premium materials, comfortable seats, and a quiet cabin, making it an enjoyable car for long drives. It was also well-equipped with standard features like leather upholstery, a sunroof, automatic climate control, and a premium audio system, further enhancing its luxury appeal. However, the Opirus faced an uphill battle against established competitors in the luxury segment, and its sales were modest. Despite this, it played a significant role in establishing Kia's credibility in building quality and well-appointed cars, paving the way for future ventures into the premium market.
