The Kia Amanti is a full-size luxury sedan that was produced by Kia Motors from 2003 to 2009. The second generation of the Amanti, which encompasses the 2007 and 2008 model years, represented a significant departure from its predecessor, boasting a more refined and sophisticated design both inside and out. This generation was built on a stretched version of the Hyundai Sonata platform, offering a spacious and comfortable interior. The Amanti was designed to compete with established luxury sedans like the Toyota Avalon and the Buick LaCrosse, offering a compelling blend of features, performance, and value for money.
Under the hood, the 2007-2008 Amanti was powered by a 3.3-liter V6 engine producing 235 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. This engine was mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive being the sole configuration offered. The Amanti provided a smooth and comfortable ride thanks to its independent suspension and relatively soft tuning. The spacious interior featured ample legroom and headroom for passengers in both the front and rear seats, while the trunk offered generous cargo space. Standard features included leather upholstery, power seats, and a premium sound system. The Amanti also offered optional features like a sunroof, navigation system, and heated and ventilated seats. While the Amanti was a notable success for Kia, it ultimately faced stiff competition in the crowded luxury sedan segment and was discontinued in 2009.
