Need further assistance? Please call Member Services at View all Kia Vehicles. Riding on an all-new chassis shared with the Hyundai Sonata, the redesigned Optima midsized sedan packs a lot of substance and value. It drives nicely, with a firm yet absorbent ride and responsive, secure handling.
The mainstream 2. New to the line is a 1. The EX trim features comfortable leather seats, automatic climate control, a roomy rear seat, and heating for the seats and steering wheel. We got 28 mpg with the 2.
Low-positioned dash vents are our only gripe. A hybrid is also available. The freshening brings standard advanced safety features, including forward collision and rear cross- traffic warning, lane keeping assistance, and blind spot warning. The final production run of the Optima fizzled out after A major redesign for made the Optima much better, with nimble handling, but a stiff ride. The up-level engine, a lively turbocharged four-cylinder, returned a respectable 24 mpg, but exhibited less refinement than a V6.
The base 2. An unrefined hybrid is offered too. The coupe-like styling detracts from rear visibility and cabin access. We'd try to find an Optima LX with the Convenience Plus package in order to get the power driver's seat and rear camera. Our other favorite combination is the Optima EX with the Premium and Technology navigation and blind spot monitoring packages. The mid-model year redesign maintained the comfort of the quiet cabin and the composed ride, while improving handling.
Controls are easy to use, the interior is nicely detailed and the rear seat is among the most comfortable in its class. Optional, power-adjustable pedals help all drivers find a comfortable position. Before Kia made these recalls, however, consumers would have to pay thousands of dollars to completely replace the entire engine or buy a new car altogether.
The model year also suffered from catastrophic engine failure, even on cars with less than 75, miles. Now, instead of having to worry about your engine seizing regardless of strict maintenance, SXL owners also had to worry about the turbochargers breaking. A damaged or failing turbocharger may not cause catastrophic damage to your engine and most cars can continue being driven with a blown turbocharger. However, a failing turbocharger can make a lot of concerning noise, sometimes cause more engine problems and can make the car a lot less fun to drive.
Many Optima owners have complained of failing turbochargers on their SXL trim, and they can cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace.
