When spy shots
begin their gradual circulation through the many avenues of the web, there are
instances wherein they may not portray the exact car in question down to the
very last detail, and that's ok! The reason why all of us on staff here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis
are ok with that is because the sense of excitement that future photos generate
questions that we are here on hand to answer regarding present and coming cars!
Adriann Padeanu of Motor1.com had a few cautionary words
regarding the renderings of the new 2021 Kia Optima this past week and claimed
that they may be too good to be true.
Spy shots from
August revealed the next generation is going to stick to the midsize sedan
frame, so these renderings were most definitely not 100%
accurate. Hyundai did a great job of upping their styling game in this segment
shared with the lovely-looking Sonata, and so Kia will be working similar
visual wonders with its sister model. We love the way the headlights appear to
have LED daytime running lights, as well as the slim taillights stretching
across the fastback-like rear end.
The 2021 Optima
is expected to sport some traits that will make its profile more exciting, and
many auto journalists and fans out there think that it could even make sense to
see the Stinger
lose its rear doors. We don't believe that this will be the case but do know
that there will be some changes inside the cabin that will ultimately see the
digital instrument cluster merge with a wider infotainment system. The lower
center console will lose the now bulky gear lever for a much smaller rotary
shifter, while some of the buttons will be taken away after their functions are
included in the touchscreen display.
