The Kia Optima is a mid-size sedan that Kia introduced in 2000, sold in many markets outside North America under the Kia K5 name, developed alongside its Hyundai Sonata corporate sibling while pursuing its own distinct styling and market position. It became one of Kia's most important models as the brand worked to shed a budget reputation and compete more directly with established mid-size sedans on design and features.
