The all-new Optima's roomier, more luxurious cabin features an impressive level of craftsmanship that will come standard across five trim levels - LX, LX Turbo, EX, SX Turbo and SXL - when sales begin in the fourth quarter of 2015. As with its predecessor, the all-new Optima will be built at Kia's plant in West Point, Georgia. Pricing will be announced closer to the vehicle's launch date.
