If you just returned from a years’ long sojourn through the Siberian tundra, the Kia Optima will be completely unrecognizable. The Korean automaker spent considerable time and money to, as some have modestly describe it, “facelift” the brand – we see it as an incredibly successful overhaul. While the entire lineup benefitted, the Optima has established itself as Kia’s keystone model.

The 2014 Kia Optima comes in five trims: the LX, EX, and SX have similar powertrains but differ in their options and features; the SX Turbo and Limited offer greater luxury and more than 80 horsepower above the other trims. Kia’s culture, however, promotes the idea of providing more as standard features as opposed to exclusivity seen with other automakers. That is why every trim has the Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing for seamless transitions among gears.

Other companies attempt to make equipment like power locks, Bluetooth capability, and Eco drive sound novel. Every trim level of the Optima comes installed with these technologies – among others. There are still optional features reserved for the more expensive trims, like Blind Spot Detection, heated seats, and UVO eServices. For complete information on all of these options and features, you may refer to Leith Kia of Fayetteville or Leith AutoPark Kia in Wendell to speak with a brand specialist.

Power and luxury are typically the selling points of a vehicle. While Kia satisfies any consumer’s inclination for these characteristics, the company distinguishes itself by excelling at one more: safety. From a comprehensive set of airbags to ABS to an impact-absorbing steering column, every trim of the 2014 Kia Optima offers the full gamut of features. Kia believes that everyone, regardless of how much they spend on a model, is entitled to absolute safety.

Power. Luxury. Safety. Just plain fun. There’s every reason to get behind the wheel of 2014 Kia Optima, so we encourage you to contact one of our stores for a walk-around and test drive. It’s time to #KiaYourCity.
