The Spy Guy loves the look of Kia’s updated-for-2016 mid-size sedan. He might have even more to be envious about when – or if – the Optima Sportswagon version makes it to our shores. Pics of the camouflaged car have been floating around the Web world prior to the finished product being revealed in March at the 2016 Geneva Auto Show in Switzerland. Both non-turbo and turbocharged four-cylinder engines would be available in North American versions, with mandatory turbo-diesels for European and Asian customers. Expect the decision this spring as to whether the Sportswagon is to be sold here.

2016 Kia Optima SX

 

This redesigned Kia Optima sedan might be joined by a very cool wagon model for 2017. Stay tuned for the decision to sell it here.

Optimism over the Optima:
