Friendly Kia Highlights Kia Brand's Launch of 2021 Kia K5, Rebranding of Kia Optima

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It has recently been revealed that the 2021 Kia Optima will no longer be what fans once knew. For 2021 the Optima is being rebranded into the K5, taking its name from the Korean Kia lineup. The Kia Optima has long been a favorite among Kia sedan shoppers and in 2021 that same model is being transformed into something new after 21 years on the market.

The Kia Optima has been part of the Kia lineup since 2000 and in its new generation the vehicle is dropping its name in favor of a simpler alphanumeric variant. The new Kia K5 isn't just bringing a shortened name to the 2021 market, but also all-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine that promises performance and efficiency.

While the name change for the Kia Optima/K5 may come as a shock, the team over at Friendly Kia - a Tampa Bay-area new and used Kia dealership - think it might have been a long time coming.

The dealership's staff has posted a page on the Friendly Kia website highlighting the vehicle's rebranding along with what they suspect the vehicle is going to bring to the market. The local dealership regularly highlights upcoming Kia models, brand news, vehicle predictions and more on its blog.

Those looking to learn more about the upcoming 2021 Kia K5 are encouraged to visit the Friendly Kia website, https://www.friendlykia.com/. The local dealership is open for new and used vehicle sales seven days a week, making it a perfect spot for New Port Richey automotive shoppers to find their next vehicle. For information on available vehicles and current incentives, prospective shoppers can contact a member of the dealership's team directly by calling 877-544-6706.
