2019 Kia Optima vs. 2019 Hyundai Sonata

If you’re shopping for a midsize sedan that’s reliable, filled with excellent interior features, and loaded with safety, then you’re likely looking at both the 2019 Kia Optima and 2019 Hyundai Sonata. While both provide you with great options, the Kia proves to be the better buy for drivers from New Orleans to Timberlane. Why? Compare the Kia Optima vs. Hyundai Sonata to find out.

Interior Features

Both sedans provide features like a rear camera display, an optional auto-dimming rearview mirror, and interior air filtration. However, the Optima LX provides interior features not found in the Sonata SE, such as:

• Multi-Adjustable Driver’s Seat
• Optional Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
• Optional Dual Zone Climate Control
• Optional Automatic Climate Control

Safety Features

The Hyundai Sonata offers optional advanced safety features similar to the Kia Optima safety features, but only the Kia Optima comes standard with driver-assist technologies that include:

• Forward Collision Avoidance Assistance: When a potential collision is sensed by the system, it applies the brakes to help reduce the effects of the impact, should an accident occur.
• Forward Collision Warning: When it detects a potential hazard in your path, this system gives visual and audible warnings.
• Park Distance Warning: Uses sonar sensors in the bumpers to detect when you’re getting close to other objects or vehicles. When it does, it transmits an audible warning.
