Author: Gary WhiteIf you are looking for the towing capacity for a Kia Optima car then we're here to help. The towing capacity is a term used to describe the maximum weight of a trailer a Kia Optima car can tow. There may be certain models of Kia Optima car that cannot be used to tow a trailer. These will be highlighted with 'N KG' in the below list of Kia Optima towing weights.
For those models of Kia Optima where towing is allowed, we have detailed the Kia Optima towing capacity for a braked trailer (this is when the trailer being towed has its own breaking system). To ensure you are both safe and legal it is really important that you check the Kia Optima towing weight limit for the car.
As well as providing the braked towing capacity for your Kia Optima, where data is available we also have also listed the Kia Optima's unbraked towing capacity.
Here is a full list of the Unbraked and Braked Towing Capacity for the Kia Optima. If you cannot find the Kia Optima you are looking for please drop us a email and we will add this to the list.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the towing weights provided on this website are accurate, we always recommend checking the vehicle log book (V5) for the official towing capacity. We accept no responsibility if the towing weights provided on this website are incorrect.
