Optima was Kia’s first D-segment sedan introduced after joining Hyundai Motor Group—a model that marked the start of a new chapter for the brand. While it shared a platform with Hyundai, Kia focused on giving Optima a distinct design identity that embodied the brand's new direction and vision.
Until the name was unified as K5 in 2021, it stood as Kia’s flagship midsize sedan in global markets, playing a key role in building brand recognition worldwide.
