Kia Optima 2020

Mid-size sedan with a 185-horsepower 2.4 engine and automatic transmission; leather seats, climate control, push-button start and parking sensors; 510-litre boot, ideal for four on a long trip. On the motorway it overtakes without being asked twice, and at 120 the cabin stays quiet. Two large cases and two carry-ons with no juggling, and the rear bench takes three adults to Santiago without complaint. If the trip is long and there are four of you, this is the car.
