2016款起亚Optima GT图片近日曝光，欧规车型将在法兰克福车展首次亮相，随后将于今年底或明年初在欧洲上市。从图片看，车尾造型与4月发布的2016款美规车型一样，只是增加了“GT”标志。该车实际上是北美版Optima SX的欧规车型，美规车只提供2.0升四缸涡轮汽油引擎，美规车的功率为184千瓦/247马力，扭矩352牛米。由于欧洲消费者喜欢柴油车，因此该车或许将搭载1.7和2.0升以及取自狮跑的1.6升T-GDI引擎，后者功率为130千瓦/174马力。

 

Kia Optima GT first images emerge, likely Euro-spec model

A couple of images depicting what appears to be the 2016 Kia Optima GT have hit the web.

 

The rear end of the car seems to be identical to the 2016MY Optima US-spec shown earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, with the obvious exception of the GT badge. Chances are this is the European version of the North American Optima SX and will be offered exclusively with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine which in US-spec guise delivers 247 bhp (184 kW) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque.

 

An official reveal of the European Optima will likely occur next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show where this range-topping GT version is expected to make an appearance. Since Europeans are fans of diesels, Kia will probably offer its trusty 1.7- and 2.0-liter units along with a lesser turbocharged gasoline unit, likely the 1.6-liter T-GDI which in the new Sportage will deliver 174 bhp (130 kW).

 

Following its IAA debut, the Euro-spec Optima should go on sale before the end of this year or early 2016.
