Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Kia Amanti's exterior has been freshened with a revised styling of the front and rear and a new design for the wheels. Under the hood is a new engine. The 3.8-liter aluminum DOHC V6 engine delivers 264 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, a 32 percent increase in power over its predecessor. Other changes include structural enhancements that have reduced weight (251 pounds, says Kia), suspension tweaks for better handling and interior design and feature content revisions.

• Class-leading amenities, spacious interior, long warranty, good value for the money.

  2007 Amanti Best Luxury bargain in US - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By MikeWellsEsq - September 6 - 4:03 pm

  I purchased a pewter beige Amanti with leather package (tan interior), ESC/safety package, 17 in. wheels and sunroof. After seeing an article online about the Amantis redesign for 2007, test driving one was a relevation. I seriously shopped the Amanti vs. the Azera and a couple of other nice sedans, and the Amanti won. This car is an amazing value. I am continually being blown away by the quality and features. The quick power and smoothness of the ride are truly a delight. Id say this car, for 2007, is the biggest hidden secret on the U.S. market, since Kia is not doing any advertising that I can see.

  Year update - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By minus200 - January 6 - 6:46 pm

  20,000 miles and one year and I am more pleased than the 1st day. Not a squeak - burp - or hiccup. The car is perfect. Still a quiet smooth ride with no rattles or problems of any kind. I have done the normal maintenance and that is it. The mileage runs from 19 all city to 22 combo and 24-25 all hwy. The inside looks like the day I purchased it - quality is just amazing. Even the valet in the casinos are impressed by this car. Buy one - you will like it

  Fantastic car for ANY price - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By Matthew - December 9 - 11:00 pm

  This car replaces a well-loved 1994 Mercedes C280, so I have to admit I was skeptical at first about buying a Kia. I didnt think anything could compete with my beloved Mercedes. Boy was I wrong! The first thing you notice about the car is its unique look. Too many cars today look exactly alike and Ive learned that if a car is streamlined, thats code for BORING. The looks may not be for everyone, but theyre definitely not boring... The fit and finish are superb, interior design tasteful and it has a smooth powerplant. As for fun to drive, it may not appeal to a 20-something bachelor, but for someone approaching 40 with a family, its very comfortable.

  Luxury Value and Good MPG - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By Chuck - May 5 - 11:03 pm

  I purchased my Amanti because I wanted a comfortable car with all the options without a high price tag. I have owned Mercedes, Lincoln and Cadillac and find this car very satisfying. As others have said, it doesnt have the "road handling" of a Euro car, but it amazingly fast and solid feeling. My trip computer consistently records 27.5 MPG on the highway at 70 miles per hour. I couldnt believe it myself. This is my second KIA and I will buy a third.

  surprisingly good - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By kickboyface - January 18 - 1:43 pm

  rented one of these for a week on a trip to las vegas based solely on the prompting of the counter clerk - "theyre REALLY nice." she was completely right. fun. powerful. fast. loaded with features. i rented a Cadillac a few days later and this car was REMARKABLY better. if i was ever in this type of car market, id buy a used one in a heartbeat (they have terrible residual value and its a spectacular car) -- you could get it for a steal.

  Impressed - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By MHall - December 27 - 7:26 am

  Have driven Caddys, Lincolns, Olds and number of other family style autos. The Amanti beats them hands down, the car drives and rides very smooth, no road or wind noise. Have had zero problems at 38k miles. The car is loaded with every option and performs great.I get compliments all the time, the rear end looks like a Lincoln and the front between a Benz and a Jag. Avg 19.5 MPG mixed HWY & CITY. Would recommend car to anyone who is looking for a solid built, smooth riding automobile with ALL the safety feature.

  Not what I expected!!! - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By Shawn - January 16 - 4:16 pm

  I went looking for an SUV and thought Id try the full size Kia. I was almost ready to buy it so I brought my wife to the dealership to look at it. First thing she noticed was the Amanti. Why dont you buy this instead she asked. So we took it for a spin and I loved it! We have owned Caddys,Vettes,Hondas, VWs, you name it. My last car was a Dodge Magnum Hemi. I cant believe I have a Kia but I know that if people tried this car they would buy it. This Amanti has it all. Reg. gas with awesome power and after 2200 miles Ive averaged 23.9 MPG.

  I cant believe I bought a KIA - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By minus200 - January 7 - 10:10 pm

  I cant believe I bought a KIA - I cant believe I bought a KIA. Will take delivery the day after Mardi Gras if all the paperwork goes through. By accident I looked at one and did a lot of research online and talked with a lot of people. Everybody that owned a Kia was happy. My kids are embarrassed for me, one has SL500- SL55 - S55 and GL450 other one has Lexus 460 and Yukon XL and others. They are just too yuppie. I am convinced I will be very happy with this car even if the buying decision may not have been "smart". I will report back after a couple of weeks driving. Just couldnt see spending $12,000 more for an Infinity M35. Amanti = nice car - not an ICON to impress others. Hope it works

  Its been a year now since my purchase - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By Jim - July 3 - 6:23 pm

  Its been a year now since my purchase and Im still a fan of the Amanti. Love the vehicle and its reliability. Im getting low mileage around the city but 80% of my driving is just that. City 15.8 MPG .. but on the highway I get a strong 34 MPG. I traded my lincoln continental in for this vehicle and was nervous about my choice. I went with the Amanti for value and warranty. Im glad I did. Ive not regretted my decision yet - in fact wonder how I got so smart. This car is just flat out fun to drive and has everything in it an on it I ever had with my lincolns. Especially satisfied with winter driving - electronic stability control is great. Check out the Amanti befor you buy anything.

  Cant Believe I Bought a KIA-But Glad - 2007 Kia Amanti
  By HappyKIAOwner - December 3 - 4:23 am

  Owned a Caddy for 190,000 miles and loved it. Went to buy another and saw this bright silver like new KIA Amanti next to it. Carmax salesman said give it a drive--best value on the market for a full size sedan. And he was right. Have only owned it a month-- but already taken a couple of 800 mile trips. Great ride and performance. Great gas mileage and uses regular gas. Have a bad back and the lumbar support and adjustability was fantastic. Sound system blew me away. Wife was skeptical at first-- but after driving it a couple of times she said hmmm! Trust me that is a big compliment. Cant believe KIA is marketing this car harder,
