Powering the Optima is a range of turbocharged and naturally aspirated petrol engines varying from 1.6-litres to 2.5-litres. All engines are paired to 6-speed or 8-speed automatic transmissions. The 2.5-litre turbocharged engine produces 286 BHP and 422 Nm and is paired to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Kia claims that the 0-100 km/h time for the car is 6.6 seconds.
