It all starts with Kia’s 3.3-liter V6 engine that was retuned for the 2017 model. It boasts better efficiency than the outgoing model, especially now that it’s paired the brand’s first-ever FWD eight-speed automatic transmission.

The new and improved model not only sports a bolder design, but an enhanced performance and innovative technology as well. Take a look at the video below to see what the Sportage is capable of.

The new Kia Optima has garnered quite the reputation for offering premium quality at an economy price. But, new for 2016, drivers in Urbana, IL will be able to access even more of the smooth performance, dominant style, and luxurious interior of this well-loved sedan.

In fact, with its increased cabin space, extended range of engine options, and refined handling, you'll fall so deep into driving pleasure that you'll find yourself transported to The Zone, where all those end up who have experienced the relaxing enlightenment of total sophistication, total balance, and total greatness.
