Product Overview

Kia Optima / K5 III (code TF) facelift is the facelifted version of the mid-size sedan in production from 2013 to 2015. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.7 to 2.4 liters.
The pre-facelift Gen3 Optima was a great success. The facelift model introduced some new drivetrain options, including a hybrid, but largely retains what made the original car great.
Kia has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The Gen3 Optima also comes with a high towing capacity.
Still, the Optima 3 used a budget suspension setup.
