Used 2020 Kia Optima for Sale in Brunswick, GA - Autotrader

The 2020 Kia Optima combines the value, room and practicality of a midsize family sedan with aggressive styling, a premium luxury interior and one of the best factory warranties in the business. The Optima once stood alone in its class, but its success has clearly given the green light to the radical new looks of the latest iterations of the Honda Accord, the Toyota Camry and the Nissan Altima. In contrast to its long and low roofline, the Optima is actually quite roomy inside, with excellent legroom in the front and rear and a large trunk. Kia is renowned for its ability to deliver a well-equipped vehicle at a modest price point, and the 2020 Optima follows suit. Even the most inexpensive model comes equipped with features one wouldn’t expect in a base car. Power is never in short supply, as the Optima offers two turbocharged engines and one normally aspirated unit, as well hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. When pitted against rivals — specifically the Accord, the Camry and the Chevrolet Malibu — the Optima shines brightly, even if it doesn’t offer all-wheel drive, which you can get on the Ford Fusion and the Altima and which comes standard on the Subaru Legacy. Inside, the Optima delights with its modern styling and impressive list of standard and available features. Small touches, such as the available 10-way power passenger seat, make a big difference. So, too, do the luxury options, which include a massive panoramic glass sunroof, heated rear seats and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

<h4>Autotrader’s Advice:</h4> Surprisingly, we think the base LX offers everything you need in a family sedan, especially with the addition of pedestrian detection for 2020. The value prospect for more upscale buyers is probably the EX Premium trim.

<h4>Original MSRP:</h4> $23,190-$31,990 (when new)

<h4>MPG:</h4> The 2020 Optima offers a choice of three gasoline-powered engines. Standard on the LX and S trims is a 2.4-liter normally aspirated 4-cylinder good for 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission is also standard. On the LX trim, this engine is rated at 25 miles per gallon in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. On the S, it’s 24 mpg city/32 mpg hwy. Next is an available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine offered only on the EX trim that produces 178 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a new 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, the 1.6T gets an impressive 27 mpg city/37 mpg hwy. Finally, there’s the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine available only on the top-level SX trim. This engine produces a healthy 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic is the only transmission choice.

We expect the 2020 Optima to perform the same.
<p></p>
<h4>Behind the Wheel:</h4> We drove a model the 2.0-liter turbo-equipped SX trim during our test in Aspen, Colorado. Despite the thin air, the Optima’s 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque delivered a spirited performance, with a manageable, predictable level of turbo lag. We thought the performance every bit as satisfying as the Optima’s best V6 rivals, and its fuel economy was more than acceptable. Four drive modes are selectable via a center-console switch (Comfort, ECO, Sport and Smart), and they affect the electric power steering, throttle response and transmission shift points. The steering was noticeably better in Sport mode, as it killed some of the numbness that cropped up on center in the other modes. Handling, on the whole, is better than on previous Optimas, regardless of mode. On the road, the Optima was exceptionally quiet, though the ride was somewhat firm. If you’re looking for comfort over performance, the smaller wheel and tire packages and more pliant suspension settings of the LX and EX trims might make a better choice. The Optima’s seats are impressively well constructed, with good thigh and back support.
