Distinctive rear pillar owing to side window kink, chrome trim. Tail lights extend far into fender.
In case you were wondering what's under the cover.

Photos of the Kia Optima
About average trunk volume, 15.4 cubic feet.
Large, two-panel panoramic sunroof is standard on the SXL.
Comfortable, but limited headroom.
Shifter blocks driver's view of the seat heat/cool switches. Kids play pranks.
Lots of buttons. Seat heat/cool switches to right of shifter. Parking brake forward and to left.
Strongly driver-oriented. White trim on black instrument panel for strong contrast. Not symmetrical.
LED tail lights.
Front end pulls back and up from "tiger nose" grille. Larger wheel reduces visual mass of ov
Front overhang appears excessive with EX's smaller wheel.
More dramatic angle, a fun car to photograph.
Early morning shot.
LED strip doesn't fit shape of fog lights, and somewhat redundant.
Tiger nose grille.
274 horsepower, smooth and nearly lag-free. EPA ratings (22/34) good for such a powerful engine.
Equally bold from this angle. Chrome trim and cut lines propel eye rearward.
Bold, driver-oriented styling. A lot going on.
