The 2020 Kia Optima is not only loaded with desirable features, but it also has an attractive appearance. With a variety of engines to choose from, hybrid options, and the latest tech features, it really is a standout in its class.
Compelling Performance
The base Kia comes with a four-cylinder engine and six-speed transmission, this can be upgraded to the turbocharged 1.6 Liter and seven-speed transmission model. Even further up the ladder is the turbocharged 2.0 Liter, which puts out 245 horsepower and 260-foot pounds of torque. This model also features a sport-tuned suspension.
Eco Friendly
The Kia features several models of Sorrento hybrids, which supplement gas consumption with electricity. The plug-in version gets 41 miles per gallon, so it’s easier on the environment and easier on your wallet.
Comfort
The standard interior of the Optima is comfortable and spacious, but there are many available features so you can customize it just the way you like it. Heated and ventilated front seats are available on some models to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
The red and black leather interior on the Optima SX is comfortable and stylish. The available leather-wrapped steering wheel even features shifting paddles on the steering wheel so you can shift while keeping both hands on the wheel.
The Latest Technology
The standard 8.0-inch touchscreen puts the world at your fingertips and can connect to Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It can also be used for an optional navigation system. The available Harmon and Kardon Sound system features 7.1 channel surround sound with 10 speakers and 630 watts of clear, crisp power. A wireless charging system allows you to charge your phone by simply placing it in the front console.
The smart welcome system has a number of features to make starting your car feel effortless and natural. As you approach the vehicle, it will automatically detect your key and turn on pocket lights to make it easier to find your steps. Stand behind the car and the trunk will open automatically. Great for when you’re carrying something big and don’t want to be juggling that while you search through your pockets for your keys.
Safety
The 2019 Optima was a top safety pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. This year’s model features even more ways to safeguard you and your car, such as Advanced High Strength Steel for protection in a crash. The body has also been reinforced in key areas. The Traction Control System reduces wheel spin while accelerating, and the Brake Assist System detects emergency situations and will increase brake pressure.
All the driver-assist features you’d expect are also included or available. These include Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance with Pedestrian Detection, which not only detects danger but will even apply the brakes if needed. The lane-keeping system will also detect you leaving your lane unintentionally and will provide steering assistance.
