What this mod does
The Kia Optima JF, sold in Korea as the K5, is the fourth generation of Kia’s midsize sedan, very common in the United States. Nimit turns it into a car you buy and drive in American Truck Simulator, a simple, realistic alternative to the sports cars for touring the map without a trailer. He publishes it for free on his verified ModLand account, with credits to Nimit and İsmail Kaan.
What’s included
- Working front windows and well-adjusted wipers.
- Realistically configured engine and gearbox.
- High-quality exterior and interior.
- Good physics and handling.
Driving tip
To reach top speed you need to shift into fifth.
How to get it
After enabling it in the Mod Manager, go to any truck dealership, enter the mod dealer access and look for the Kia brand.
Version and known issues
Nimit confirms 1.59 in the title and changelog. There’s no confirmed version for 1.61, so it may throw errors there; Holyfix will warn you if so. He also publishes the ETS2 version on the same account.
