Kia Optima weight

Kia Optima curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier Optima may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Kia Optima may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Kia Optima was produced in 2018 with a weight of 3219 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2017 with 3594 lbs pounds in curb weight.
