The Kia Optima is a key competitor in the midsize sedan market, and this year it just got more impressive. The 2018 Kia Optima is a vehicle designed to please, with a rejuvenated model, upgraded technology features, and improved safety systems.

Test Drive the 2018 Kia Optima Budd Lake, NJ

As you can see, these two models are near identical, as to be expected. The 2017 Optima Holds a slight edge over the 2018 Optima In terms of a lower starting MSRP, and more model trims, however, the 2018 Kia Optima does possess many upgraded and improve features that set it apart. The first of which is an available panoramic moonroof, something not offered on its predecessor.

Additionally, the 2018 Kia Optima possesses many great elite safety features that cannot be matched by its predecessor, including Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and a Rear Parking Assist System that comes standard for all trim levels.

Both Kia Optima models are great deals, offering a lot of exceptional features across their many trim levels, but the 2018 Kia Optima model takes the edge in terms of overall safety features. To learn more about the 2018 Kia Optima, or to take them for a test drive, contact us at Motion Kia today!
