Kia Motors Corporation has issued the first details of its new global flagship model, the luxurious 2007 Opirus (known as ‘Amanti’ in North America). The longer, sleeker, lighter 5-meter long four-door sedan, which is a big seller in the USA, has a more balanced appearance, an enhanced interior with new high-tech features, and a larger, more powerful and more fuel-efficient V6 gasoline engine. Significant improvements have been made to the ride, handling, safety and refinement, while Opirus now weighs less and delivers higher performance. Kia’s new D-segment model will be available in left-hand drive only, in a wider choice of interior and exterior colors.

“Our new 2007 Opirus has been significantly upgraded in so many ways, to deliver the maximum benefits to our customers, that it is virtually an all-new model,” enthused Jung-Moon Park, Senior Executive Vice President and COO of Kia Motors. “Kia’s new luxury sedan is a truly high quality product, offering the highest levels of comfort and silence. It looks more sophisticated, goes faster, consumes less fuel, rides more smoothly, handles better, is packed with features and is a wonderfully comfortable way to travel.

“In its new form, Opirus is a genuine flagship for the high quality we are now achieving across our entire model range. New Opirus will be even more competitive in its market segment and we anticipate a strong growth in demand, thereby doubling of our global sales of this model by 2010 to more than 100,000 units annually,” added Mr. Park.
