Kia has released the official image of its fourth-generation mid-size sedan ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show in April. Teaser of the 2016 Kia Optima reveals that the car retains its tiger nose grille, and has received a new styling for the headlights.

Moreover, the car also bears some resemblance to the Kia Sportspace concept which was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The sedan gets the new appearance owing to the lower air intake with twin vents at the sides, giving it a bold look.

While major details of the car have been kept under wraps, Kia hints the Optima will feature a spacious cabin, some of the finest features and several new technologies. It is also speculated that the car will be offered with multiple engine choices, which may also entail a four-cylinder gasoline and diesel or hybrid engine options.
