The all new Kia Optima Sportswagon, Kia's first ever full-sized tourer, will make its global premiere at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. 

Inspired by the 2015 SPORTSPACE concept, the Optima Sportswagon offers the striking exterior design and high-quality interior of the 2016 Optima, with the added practicality and appeal of a tourer bodystyle.

Michael Cole, Chief Operating Officer, Kia Motors Europe, commented, "The Optima has come to define Kia globally, and is credited with kick-starting the brand's design-led transformation. The SPORTSPACE concept from 2015 was a clear intention of where we wanted to take the Optima next, and the Sportswagon adds an extra level of style and practicality to the well-received saloon."

The Optima Sportswagon will be available with a choice of efficient and responsive petrol and diesel powertrains, including a high-powered GT model.
