SPIED: Kia's Optima Set For An All-New Revamp? Spotted Winter Testing

Spotted testing in the white stuff was the all-new Kia Optima. Seeing that Hyundai is its sister company and the closely related Sonata sedan just underwent an all-new revamp, this isn't a tremendous surprise.

What may be a bit of a shock though are the new updates that differentiate it over the currently existing product. I strongly advise you click over to check out ALL the new images.

Though the two Optimas snapped at a gas station refueling are camouflaged with both heavy and light camouflage, it's clear to me that this vehicle will increase its size and feature a new design theme. Note how long its rear windows are? While the current-gen Optima is distinguished from its Korean sibling with more creative license taken from European autos, this all-new Optima seems to go for a more straightforward approach — check out its side profile.

We're hoping Kia doesn't stray too far from its sporting design language and keeps its products more European influenced.

I'm hoping it's still a looker and that it does not get the Plain Jane treatment the Sonata got.

The greenhouse looks interesting.

Yes...very much like if Callum had had a clue as to how to do the XJ's DLO so that is would not be hideous, it would have looked like that.
