  • Structure & Refinement
    To ensure that Opirus is exceptionally roomy inside, with more leg, head and shoulder room than most of its competitors, a generously proportioned bodyshell was required. The internal space - front legroom is 1,110 mm and rear is 945 mm, while headroom is 1,015 mm and 975 mm and shoulder room is 1,475 mm and 1,460 mm across the rear - does ensure that passengers travel in complete comfort. Those internal dimensions inevitably demanded that Opirus would also have substantial external dimensions. Making a large bodyshell stiff and impact resistant presents engineers with some tough and very specific design challenges.

  • Engine & Transmission
    For the European market, Opirus is powered by a 24-valve, 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine offering a compelling mix of power and performance. Designed using computer aided technology and manufactured utilising lightweight alloys such as aluminium for the cylinder block and power-cast metal for the connecting rods, the Opirus engine is very light and offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio.

  • Suspension & Steering
    The exceptional ride quality of Opirus begins with the choice of layout for its fully-independent suspension system. The front suspension employs a classic double wishbone design which offers engineers many advantages, including optimum tyre grip, improved traction for the driven front wheels and near perfect camber control. The wide base of the lower wishbone arm, gives improved lateral rigidity, reduces road noise and brings improved safety performance in frontal collisions. Despite its width, the design allows good wheel clearance for maximum steering lock. Read more  
  • Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
    Opirus´ braking system is powerful, responsive and highly effective. Large diameter ventilated discs (303 mm front) and solid discs (284 mm rear) resist heat build-up and fade, and deliver sure and stable braking performance. Standard equipment includes an advanced Kia-developed ABS system that is lighter and more responsive than previous systems and comes with four channels and four sensors. The ABS system also incorporates an emergency brake assist system (BAS), electronic brake force distributor (EBD) and is linked to the traction control system (TCS). Read more  
  • Performance & Economy
    Opirus´ 3.5-litre V6 engine, which generates 149 kW (203 ps) of power and 298 Nm (30.4 kg.m) of torque, propels the new front wheel-drive sedan from standstill to 100 kph in 9.2 seconds, from 60-100 kph in 5.1 seconds, and onwards to a top speed of 220 kph. Drivers can switch the five-speed automatic transmission to manual sequential mode to fully exploit the engine´s power for a more sporty performance. Read more
