In adopting a tourer body style, the Optima Sportswagon includes a series of highly ergonomic features in the boot, which render the car more practical than many other D-segment tourers. Highly versatile 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats are fitted as standard, enabling owners to slide longer outdoor equipment – such as skis or snowboards – through the central seat, while two rear passengers can still sit in comfort. Other features include a safety barrier net built in to the back of the rear seats and pop-up sliding luggage rails. A low, flat boot lip, and a smart power tailgate enable owners to load heavy items easily.
The Optima Sportswagon will be available with a choice of 1.7-litre turbodiesel and 2.0-litre CVVL (continuously-variable valve lift) petrol engines, as well as a high-powered 2.0-litre T-GDI (turbocharged petrol direct injection) engine for GT models.
