The 2006 KIA Optima, a mid-size sedan, was the second generation of the Optima model. It marked a significant departure from its predecessor, introducing a more refined and sophisticated design, along with improved interior amenities and performance. The 2006 Optima offered a choice of two engines: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder unit delivering 162 horsepower and a 2.7-liter V6 producing 173 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the front wheels. The car's revised platform, incorporating a unibody construction, provided a more rigid and stable ride while enhancing handling characteristics. The 2006 Optima was also notable for its expanded interior space, offering increased legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. It incorporated practical features such as a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, allowing for enhanced cargo hauling capabilities.

Despite its advancements, the 2006 Optima faced some criticism regarding its somewhat bland styling and a suspension that, while improved, lacked the sharpness and responsiveness of some rivals. However, the car was praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and overall value proposition, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable and practical mid-size sedan. The 2006 Optima also included features such as power windows, power locks, air conditioning, an AM/FM radio with CD player, and anti-lock brakes, making it a well-equipped vehicle for its time. The inclusion of a factory service repair manual underscores KIA's commitment to providing comprehensive support for their vehicles, empowering owners to maintain and repair their Optimas effectively.
