With its redesign for 2011, Kia has transformed its Optima family sedan from a plain, forgettable entry to one of the most distinctively styled cars in the class. In addition to new exterior and interior styling, the 2011 Optima offers a choice of more powerful engines as well as a hybrid version. Three trim levels are available — LX, EX and SX — and the Optima competes against cars like the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. It's scheduled to hit dealerships in fall 2010, with the hybrid arriving in early 2011.
