Ata10 Neutral Newbie January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 This is future Kia K5, known as Optima in US or Magentis in Europe. It is Cadenza's smaller "brother" that will come to the market next year. At least that's what I read at Autoblog today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 K5 or Magentis or Optima...it will definitely not look as striking as the 2010 Sonata... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondaking Neutral Newbie February 28, 2010 Share February 28, 2010 how come everyone is following the design cues of the european makes. Why cant europeans follow the asian makes? but really nice looking car from kia. is because the deisgner himself is from Audi..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extramint Clutched February 28, 2010 Share February 28, 2010 back lights looks like older generation of audi a4.. boot look like older generation of a8. side profile, ok quite normal.. most new luxury sedans style front grille is nice and original. led designs of headlamps also quite new.

Yapahfai Clutched February 28, 2010 Share February 28, 2010 i rather buy a camry, what for pay a korean for the price of jap? to each his own. But seriously, I would rather get this Kia over a camry which is plain boring with ah pek design. This Kia looks luxurious & more stylish. If it's niche, better still. I won't want my car to look too common. Only question is, how would kia price this? The ad is so intoxicating.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krado Clutched February 28, 2010 Share February 28, 2010 (edited) haha. Uu forgot where the new w212 e class get its design cues from? Ahem. First came this.. then... But in 1996, I remembered playing a DOS racing game with this car. Who copying who? EDIT: almost forgot: Edited February 28, 2010 by Krado Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear February 28, 2010 Share February 28, 2010 hello!! the Kia K7 is actually based on the Hyundai Genesis sedan...so at 4965mm long, it's actually a class up from the Camry... the direct competitor to the Camry would be the K5, which will be the Magentis replacement... i suppose C&C will bring in the same 2.4L MPI version 180bhp 6A/T at around Kia Sorento prices... and since the Kia Sorento 3.5SX AWD is just $5,000 more than the 2.4SX FWD now, i suppose C&C will also do the same for their Cadenza K7 sedan?? really looking forward to the specs C&C brings in... from the pictures in Korea, the 2.4L version is really very basic spec...only the 3.5V6 290bhp gets the full specs... cheers.

K7 is FF while Genesis is FR, how would you say that K7 based on Genesis? based on Genesis tyre? K7 is set to replace Kia Amanti/Opirus, which is the same class as Azera. The length of car doesn't justify it because Accord also more than 4.9meter. Edited March 1, 2010 by Caddilac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sohboonguan 1st Gear March 24, 2010 Share March 24, 2010 K7... I like it... Pretty cool... Kia is well known for "value for money" if this come... Camry, i45, Accord etc. will be have a pretty good competitor in that segment. KIA is really seriously making it big... The few company that is gaining market share while everyone else are losing... Impressive work by KIA... Definately on my next wanted list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
