Now Kolesa.ru has come up with the latest renderings based on the teasers, giving us a good idea of how the all new Optima is going to look like. The fascia gets a wider and a more stylized version of Kia’s signature Tiger Nose grille flaked by fluidic funky LED signature lights.

Towards the back there is a connected horizontal taillight unit that stretches across the width of the car lit by dashed lights. There is also a prominent chrome strip that runs from the A-pillar out to the rear giving a coupe-ish look.
