Kia has released the first photo of the all-new 2016 Optima. The manufacturer says it’s,” Instantly recognisable yet thoroughly fresh”.

The car will be fully introduced next week at the New York International Auto Show, so for the moment all we have is this photo to go on. Other tiny snippets from the manufacturer are that this D-segment car will be available with multiple engines, a more spacious interior and that it will offer a number of technologies not previously offered.

Kia Ireland says that it should be available to our markets from early next year.
