If you’re shopping for a new mid-size car, you can’t go wrong with the 2020 Kia Optima. This sedan comes with several standard features that are often only found as add-ons or on select trims of other models. Read on to learn more about the most surprising standard features of the 2020 Kia Optima. 
Exterior Details
The latest Optima comes with many exterior details that give it added luxury. Standard features on all trim levels include sport front and rear bumpers, power-adjustable outside mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, heated outside mirrors, LED daytime running lights, and solar control glass. The latter helps reduce the heat inside the vehicle’s cabin in an effort to keep you and your passengers cooler on the road.
In addition, all models apart from the base trim also feature Smart Welcome, which can automatically unfold your outside mirrors. The system also illuminates your car’s door pocket lights. Smart Welcome is a convenient feature that comes in handy when you try to get in your car at night. All trims apart from the entry-level model also feature Smart Trunk, which opens your Optima’s trunk through the use of a smart key fob.
Entertainment and Connectivity
In terms of entertainment, the Kia Optima comes standard with several features that make for a more enjoyable ride. All trim levels feature an 8-inch touch screen display. The EX trim features a UVO link with this display along with SiriusXM Satellite Radio. The higher-end EX Premium and SX have the same display but with a voice-command navigation system. This system can help you get to your next destination with ease.
All models also feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Both of these let you connect your device to the Optima and give you access to a variety of compatible applications. They also let you send messages and receive phone calls through voice activation. This hands-free technology, along with Bluetooth connectivity, makes it easier for you to stay focused on the road ahead.
When it comes to music, you can enjoy the Optima’s six-speaker audio system with the LX, S, Special Edition, and EX trims. The EX Premium and SX trims feature surround sound and a 10-speaker system instead.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The latest Kia Optima comes with plenty of features to give you added confidence on the road ahead. Standard features include pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist. To help you maintain your speed, you also get cruise control, which can be used from your steering wheel for easy access. Available features on the Optima include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology.
Unlike previous hybrid models, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist are new to the 2020 Kia Optima hybrid and hybrid plug-in models. You also get LED fog lights and ambient interior lighting.
