2018 Kia Optima GT Malaysia Review | EvoMalaysia.com

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Kia Optima was once the car you bought when you couldn't afford a Camry or an Accord. Now, at RM180k OTR, it's not exactly cheap, but with 242hp under the hood from its 2.0-litre turbo engine, it continues to be a great value buy.

    Appreciate Kia for updating the infotainment to have support for Android auto and Apple Carplay... That too free. With current 15k discount and 5yr free service it's a no brainer! Just book ppl! Thanks for the review

    Another one that drives really well is the Hyundai i10/Kia Picanto. For the price, it is a fantastic little box on wheels to drive, and definitely rides better than the Japanese-derived competitions. It is not Lotus Ride and Handling but its really impressive. Though the 1.25 engine can be out of breath overtaking on highways.

    Hi Kon, great review. May I have your opinion on the ride comfort especially as family sedan? I know it is losing to passat but will it be annoying to rear passengers? Can't compare by test drive as it is very difficult to locate an optima gt test drive unit.

    Camera is a bit too shaky during the driving part , otherwise it's a great informative video! Honestly , you guys should try and do something different apart from the regular walkaround and review , maybe lets say this car drag race vs a latest civic just for fun and entertainment for the viewers. Just a suggestion , cheers!

    Oh, ini tak payah uji. Confirm Subaru menang. Sistem AWD CR-V adalah direka untuk jalan raya biasa dan mengutamakan penggunaan bahan api yang rendah. Sistem Subaru pula, lebih mengutamakan cengkaman mutlak dalam semua keadaan.
