TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2016 Kia Optima

2016 Kia Optima Available Features: Pros
YearComment
2016 As noted above, the Kia Optima SX Limited is exceptionally well equipped for a volume-brand midsize sedan. If you can get a particular feature on a competing sedan, it's almost certainly standard here. Passengers especially enjoy more amenities in the Optima. The Maxima's front passenger seat adjustments include only fore-aft and recline. The Optima's adds height, tilt, and four-way lumbar. The Optima's rear passengers can take advantage of seat heaters in the winter and sun shades in the summer. The Maxima offers neither feature. The Optima's rear seat can do one more thing the Maxima's cannot: fold to extend the trunk. Beyond individual features, you can get the Optima in the sporty upscale form that warranted a comparison with the Maxima in the first place. The Chevrolet Malibu, Honda Accord, and Subaru Legacy ranges include no equivalent. With the Altima as well as the Maxima some upscale features aren't offered on the sporty "SR" variants. The Mazda6 isn't offered with more than 184 horsepower. The Optima does lack one significant feature, though: unlike a few competitors (Buick Regal, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Subaru Legacy) it isn't offered with all-wheel-drive. see full Kia Optima review
