The 2004-2009 KIA Opirus is a mid-size sedan that was marketed as a premium offering by the South Korean automaker. It was the flagship model for KIA in North America during its production run, aiming to attract buyers who valued a comfortable and refined driving experience. The Opirus was built on a stretched Hyundai Sonata platform, offering ample interior space for five passengers. Its exterior design was characterized by a smooth, flowing silhouette with a large grille and swept-back headlights. The Opirus was available with two engine options: a 2.7L V6 and a 3.3L V6, both mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Opirus offered a range of features designed to enhance comfort and convenience, including leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power sunroof, and a premium sound system. Safety features included multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control. Despite its sophisticated features and comfortable interior, the Opirus struggled to gain a strong foothold in the competitive mid-size sedan market. Its sales figures remained modest throughout its production run, and it ultimately was discontinued after the 2009 model year. The Opirus' discontinuation marked the end of an era for KIA, as the company shifted its focus towards more modern and fuel-efficient vehicles. Today, the 2004-2009 KIA Opirus remains a relatively uncommon sight on the road, but it continues to be a reliable and comfortable option for those seeking a spacious and well-equipped sedan from the Korean automaker.
