The Kia Magentis, marketed as the Optima in some regions, is a mid-size sedan produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia Motors from 2000 to 2010. The second generation, encompassing the 2006-2009 models covered by the service repair manual, marked a significant evolution for the Magentis. It built upon the success of its predecessor with a more refined and modern design, boasting a larger and more spacious cabin, enhanced safety features, and a refined driving experience. The 2006-2009 Magentis was offered with a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 2.0-liter and a 2.4-liter, both paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The exterior received a more contemporary and aerodynamic styling, featuring a larger grille, swept-back headlights, and a more sculpted profile. Inside, the cabin incorporated high-quality materials, improved ergonomics, and a range of comfort and convenience features, including optional leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a premium audio system.
