Back in the days, our parents used to love station wagons (sportswagon) but SUVs have now taken over. This has made stations wagons to become scarce on our roads and many of us are not even aware they exist in some car models like the one we are looking at today.

The new Optima Sportswagon is equipped with Kia’s latest audio-visual navigation (AVN) system, available with 7.0- or 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment. It will additionally be among the first Kia models to feature Android Auto, designed to work with Android phones running 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher, and Apple CarPlay for iPhone 5 or newer.

It is available with Kia’s new wireless charger for mobile devices, situated at the base of the central console. The 5W wireless charger lets users charge their phone on the move, without a wire. With ‘foreign object detection’, the charging system activates when a compatible device is placed on the pad and warns owners when they’ve left a phone on the charger when they leave the vehicle. The system displays the phone’s charging condition on the instrument cluster, and features a safety system to prevent overheating while in use. You'll also get two USB charging points.

Choice of gasoline and diesel power with manual or automatic transmissions. The front-wheel drive Optima Sportswagon will be available with a range of petrol and diesel engines when it goes on sale. The Optima Sportswagon offers the choice of either a 1.7-litre CRDi diesel or 2.0-litre CVVL gasoline engine, while GT models are equipped with Kia’s new high-powered 2.0-litre turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine.

The Optima Sportswagon is also available with a 2.0-litre CVVL gasoline engine, featuring continuously variable valve lift technology for smooth delivery of its 161 hp power output and keen accelerative response. The 2.0-litre CVVL gasoline engine can be specified with either six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. The high-powered Optima Sportswagon GT features Kia’s new 2.0-litre T-GDI GT gasoline engine, which transmits engine power through a six-speed automatic.

What's the main difference between wagons and SUV or CUV nowadays? They are all looking alike.

I think it's a sigh u would soon get a brand new car

U better start making ur choice

I have seen this type of car in a Korean/Japanese drama called IRIS

Price range?

I thought the station wagon was a dying niche market...

Why is Kia investing money in it?

Kia is really going places

Looks more like a Honda Crosstour-type vehicle to me. It's a refreshing wagon look, plus it's been awhile since the Korean car maker churned out a family vehicle this sexy.

Great to see that automakers are bringing back station wagons.
I just looove wagons. They are so versatile and make my life easier. When Toyota stopped churning them out after 2000 or so, I became somewhat despondent. I don't know why sedans hold little attraction for me. Though I wouldn't buy this unit, as it doesn't come equipped with roof racks.
There's something about wagons that make them unobtrusive, nearly anonymous. Most folks don't pay much attention to them, and that suits me just fine!
