Are you interested in getting a used large sized family car? Look no further than the Kia Optima - an excellent choice! AutoUncle showcases a total of 120 cars sourced from various dealership websites and online marketplaces.
A used Kia Optima costs between £3,490 for the cheapest variant and £16,467 for the most expensive model.
The used car price of an Kia Optima is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are the year of manufacturing, engine size and power, fuel consumption of the car, how much the car's odometer reads together with equipment.
As an example, a newer model with fewer miles covered, or a high-end version boasting a potent engine, often fetches a top-tier price than a car from an older model year, with higher mileage and no optional extras.
Here is an overview of the most popular equipment variants for Kia Optima, sorted by number of cars for sale and their market price:
While evaluating the cost of a pre-owned Kia Optima, it's crucial to examine vehicles that have the same engines and features. Otherwise, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to acquire.
The most popular fuel type for the Kia Optima is diesel.
The price difference between the most popular fuel variants:
We advocate for a careful review of your driving habits before you commit to a fuel type. Do your driving habits lean more towards city streets or open roads and motorways? What is the total distance you drive in a typical week?
For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For very long daily driving without charging options, a diesel car can still be relevant. Note that certain countries have banned high-emission diesel engines from cities.
With the stationcar being the more popular choice, the Kia Optima is offered in both stationcar and sedan body styles in the UK. Estates, also known as station wagons, are popular in the current market because they offer the combination of excellent driving capabilities and the advantage of lots of space. Station wagons, SUVs and MPVs tend to be popular with active families.
The Kia Optima faces stiff competition within its segment.
