The 2011 Kia Optima 2.4L is a mid-size sedan that was produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2010 to 2015. It represented a significant step forward for the Optima line, moving away from the earlier model's generic styling and introducing a more contemporary and sophisticated design. This generation of Optima was powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 178 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, offering a smooth and efficient driving experience. The Optima boasted a comfortable and spacious cabin, featuring comfortable seats, ample legroom, and a well-designed dashboard. It also provided a decent level of standard features, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a CD player.
