Kia has aimed for a tough segment with the entry-luxury Amanti. With styling inspired by Jaguar and Mercedes, the Amanti is priced to compete with the Accord and Camry. A 264-bhp 3.8L V-6, coupled to a 5-speed automatic is the sole powertrain. Kia equips the Amanti with a comprehensive set of standard features, many of which are optional in other competitive sedans.
