The Kia Motors Manufacturing plant in Georgia (KMMG) opened late in 2009, and was the very first site of Kia manufacturing here in the United States.

The Award-Winning Kia Optima Is At It Again!

Oh, we sure do love the 2012 Kia Optima here at Turner Kia. We're pretty sure it'd be hard not to love, with an available 274 hp and 24 mpg, a hybrid variant, unmatched styling, and handling that goes unmatched. And, when Kia released the all-new Optima last year, they were sure it'd take people by surprise. What they maybe didn't expect is just how very many awards it would earn...

Kia Adds Style To The Optima

Kia is already on the path to winning over fans with their Kia Soul - but the South Korean auto maker wants to tackle the midsized model world. Their sedan, the Optima, has been on the market for several years.

But a newly redesigned Optima has hit the floor at 2010's New York International Auto Show - and the response so far has been marvelous.
