Environmental Protection

Opirus is the latest in a long line of Kia vehicles that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to making cars that are as appealing to customers as they are easy on the environment. Whenever possible, recycled and recyclable materials are used in manufacturing the Opirus. All major plastic parts have been selected for ease of disassembly and stamped with a material composition code. Kia pursues a green design approach in terms of structural modifications and application of environmentally friendly materials wherever feasible.

In other aspects as well, the Opirus is an environmentally friendly automobile that meets Euro 3 or 4 standards for emissions, depending on specification variations for individual markets around the world.

The refrigerant gas used in the air conditioning system is the non-CFC R134a, which poses no threat to the earth´s ozone layer.

In order to raise the recyclable contents of its cars even higher, Kia continues to research and test new material substitutes, leading the drive at home and abroad to build greener cars for a greener tomorrow.
