2018 Kia Optima: LX vs. S vs. EX vs. SX, Racine and Milwaukee WI
What are the qualities you look for in a car? Nice design? Good power and get-up-and-go? Technology that is better than the competition? Those are all very important – so what if we told you that you can truly have it all with the 2018 Kia Optima midsize sedan?
We thought you'd be interested. For starters, the Optima nameplate has a history of spacious (104.8 cubic feet for passengers), stylish (Red Dot Design Award-winner in 2016), and safe (seven consecutive IIHS Top Safety Picks from 2011-2017) driving. Add to that checklist its tech-savvy and affordability, as the 2018 Optima comes with available UVO eServices, which sync your compatible smartphone up with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and give you access to your music playlists, among other nice features. And the 2018 Optima carries a price tag that will safely be more affordable than many of its competitors in the midsize sedan class, all while providing more performance and style.
