We’ve had positive things to say about the most recent products from Kia, and it looks like the 2007 Optima (called the Magentis overseas) may keep that streak going. As expected, the overall silhouette resembles that of its cousin, the Hyundai Sonata, which is to say that it’s larger overall, yet provides a sportier and more compact appearance. Kia claims that the redesigned 2007 Optima will be powered by either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a 2.7-liter V6, though we’re betting that a version of the Sonata’s 3.3-liter V6 will makes its way to the new Optima.
