How much does a Kia Optima weigh?

I’m going to the lake this weekend and want to bring my small jet ski and trailer. I have a Kia Optima and I want to make sure it’s heavy enough to haul the jet ski. How much does a Kia Optima weigh?

Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead of you at the lake!
The weight you can haul depends on the car you have. Depending on the model you have, your
Kia Optima
weighs somewhere between 3,230 and 3,558 pounds. That is the curb weight, or how much the car weighs when it isn’t moving.
For the true numerical value of how much you can haul, you’ll need to subtract the curb weight from the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or the maximum operating weight. For Kia Optimas, the GVWR is generally between 4,541 and 4,673 pounds. Safe travels!
Since you’ll be on the road this weekend, now is a great time to re-evaluate your
car insurance
