Kia's Concept At Geneva: The Next Optima?

Published on February 10, 2015 in Geneva by Frédérick Boucher-Gaulin

With the Geneva International Motor Show opening soon, we are starting to see some teaser shots of upcoming products that will be unveiled at this important event. While some of them are little more than designers' dreams, a few are actually production versions in disguise. Such is the case with Kia's concept; despite seeing only a portion of its side, we can speculate that this might be the next Optima.

While the sedan was launched in 2011, we have been seeing spy shots of the car's next iteration for the last few months. Looking at this picture, we see that the front is less angular than it used to be, the fenders look larger and the windshield appears more raked. The whole car looks lower, too.

We obviously have no proof of our theory, since Kia obviously won't disclose any additional information. We will have to wait until March 3rd to learn more.
