The Kia Optima is basically unchanged for 2013 model year. Previously known in Canada as the Magentis, the Optima comes in normally aspirated, turbo and hybrid (gas/electric) editions.

Here's an extract from Autos.ca writer Gerry Frechette's review of a 2013 Kia Optima EX Turbo:

"At the outset, it must be said that the platform and technology of the Optima mirrors that of its cousin, the Hyundai Sonata, and that is no bad thing, because it means that the Optima can be had in the same three versions – regular, turbo and hybrid. Beyond that, this car goes its own way as far as exterior and interior design, with Kia pursuing a more youthful and aggressive image."

(Full review link: Test Drive: 2013 Kia Optima EX Turbo)

The conventional Optima comes with a choice of two four-cylinder engines, both with gasoline direct injection: a 2.4-litre or turbocharged 2.0-litre. A six-speed manual is used in the LX, while all other models use a six-speed automatic transmission. The Hybrid also uses a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with Atkinson cycle, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and with a lithium polymer battery. It is a full hybrid and is capable of running on electricity alone.

Features on the LX include 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, active front head restraints, power windows, power locks with keyless entry, heated seats, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, cruise control, fog lights, CD/MP3 stereo with satellite radio, auxiliary and USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio controls, heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, front and rear mud guards, windshield wiper de-icer, automatic headlights, trip computer, auto up/down windows and high-performance shocks.

The LX Auto adds the automatic transmission, along with a power driver’s seat, rear ventilation and “Active Eco” switch.

The LX+ adds a panoramic sunroof and auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass and garage door opener.

The EX builds on the LX Auto and adds 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, UVO multimedia system, leather seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Smart Key with pushbutton ignition, rain-sensing wipers, rearview camera, automatic defogger system, solar glass, and chrome-accented outside door handles.

The EX+ adds a panoramic sunroof.

The EX Luxury + Navi adds a navigation system in place of the UVO multimedia system.

The Turbo SX builds on the EX Luxury + Navi and adds unique sport bumpers, paddle shifters (in place of heated steering wheel), sport suspension, sport grille, sport seats and rear spoiler.

Features on the Hybrid include 16-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, active front head restraints, keyless entry with pushbutton start, cruise control, enhanced LCD instrument cluster, trip computer, auto-dimming rearview mirror, garage door opener, compass, heated power cloth and “leatherette” seats with driver’s side memory, fixed rear seat, power windows with front express up/down, cooled glove box, CD/MP3 stereo with auxiliary input and USB port, UVO Audio Infotainment, satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, LED taillights, automatic headlamps, fog lights, heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, windshield wiper de-icer, rear lip spoiler and sport grille.

The Hybrid Premium adds 17-inch alloy wheels, navigation system, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled leather seats, heated rear seats, “leatherette” dash trim, panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, xenon headlamps, premium audio system, iPod cable, interior mood lighting, illuminated door scuff plates and automatic window defogging system.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: RC191
Units Affected: 276225
Type: Safety Mfr
Details:
Issue: On certain vehicles, the brake hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) could short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuse(s) for the HECU. Kia recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

Manufacturer Recall #: SC061
Units Affected: 2635
Type: Safety TC
Details:
Issue: Kia is conducting a service campaign to inspect and upgrade the safety plug fuse. On certain Optima Hybrid (HEV) models, the safety plug fuse could blow and cause a loss of hybrid system power while driving at low speeds. Additionally, installing an incorrect aftermarket fuse could cause overheating. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Using an incorrect aftermarket fuse could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the vehicle for an aftermarket fuse and replace the 125-A safety plug with one that has a 150-A rating.

Manufacturer Recall #: RC140
Units Affected: 39658
Type: Safety TC
Details:
Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L NU GDI or 2.4 L Theta II MPI engine, an engine compartment fire could occur while driving. Kia is conducting this recall as a preventative measure to prevent fire risk due to potential fuel leaks, oil leaks and/or engine damage. In some situations, you may notice any of the following symptoms: there could be an abnormal knocking noise from the engine; the check engine light and/or the oil pressure warning light could turn on; you may smell fuel, burning or smoke; or you may notice oil leaks. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine could fail and/or a fire could occur. An engine failure can cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Note: For the Optima model, only the Optima Hybrid is affected by this recall. Safety Risk: An engine compartment fire can create a risk of injury. A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the engine and engine compartment. The dealer will inspect for fuel and/or engine oil leaks, perform an engine test and make any repairs, including engine replacement, if necessary. Kia will also perform a Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) software update free of charge, once it is available for your vehicle. This update will detect and prevent engine damage from worn connecting rod bearings.

Manufacturer Recall #: SC027
Units Affected: 29501
Type: Safety TC
Details:
Issue: Kia Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure may cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. Note: Vehicles repaired under Service Campaign SC025 already have this software update.

Manufacturer Recall #: RC123
Units Affected: 2878
Type: Safety Mfr
Details:
On certain vehicles, when repairs were completed under recall campaign 2017-199 (Kia RC109), the high pressure fuel pipe may not have been properly installed on the fuel pump outlet. A fuel leak could occur if the pipe was damaged, misaligned or improperly torqued during the recall repair. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could create the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the connections of the high pressure fuel pipe to the fuel pump outlet for leaking fuel. If leaking fuel is detected, the fuel pipe will be replaced with a new one.
