2016 Kia Optima LX Turbo Review
The midsized Optima is the vehicle that's largely responsible for Kia's U.S. sales breakthrough, proving yet again how important captivating design is to selling cars. For 2016 it gets redesigned. But don't worry, Kia didn't mess with success.All week long I would find myself parked next to other Optimas and I would visually examine the design differences to see exactly what Kia changed here. This is far and away their best-selling vehicle and it’s obvious they didn’t want to tinker too much with their blue chip car. Making it look even less new, my tester arrived in this nondescript Platinum Graphite paint riding on little 16” wheels finished in an equally dull light gray. And because it’s the base LX trim there’s no distinguished exterior lighting either, unless you count these optional LED tail lights. The original Optima is a great looking car; a compliment I’m not willing to pay here.
Marginally longer, taller and wider the Optima’s growth bestows more head room, shoulder room and rear seat leg room while allowing a little more luggage space. A stiffer overall structure allowed engineers to focus on improving ride and handling and this car steps up its maturity level with a newfound smoothness and far better steering feel. But it’s the models equipped with the 2.0-liter turbo that strive for greater driver engagement. This car is happier letting its Michelin Energy Saver tires and fortified suspension components keep things soft, quiet and refined.
3 engines are available and 2 of them are carry overs, but this base LX trim can be specified with a new efficiency minded 1.6 liter turbo that's rated at 28mpg city 39mpg highway...which is why my 26mpg average is a bit disappointing.
This 178 horsepower motor uses a twin scroll turbo to generate 195 pound-feet of torque and works through a 7-speed dual clutch transmission – that’s a manual gearbox that shifts automatically. Its benefit if efficiency but it can’t match the traditional shift feel and smoothness of the company’s 6-speed auto.
More than any other, Hyundai and Kia do the best job of keeping their relationship on the QT. For instance, the average consumer likely understands the correlation say between Ford and Lincoln but would have no idea that this Kia Optima is ostensibly a Hyundai Sonata Eco. Now I’m already on record as saying this powertrain is not for me, there’s just too much sacrifice for too little reward but with some perspective I could see a frugal shopper driving off of the lot with this specific Optima – it’s not terrible but it will not in any way excite the passionate driver.
Eco, Normal and Sport modes can be selected but there are too many moments of pressing the accelerator and waiting for something to happen.
What the Optima LX Turbo does particularly well is give you a car that’s doesn’t feel base…at least when ordered with the optional $2,600 Technology Package. Pleasant surprises come in the form of smart key access with a proximity sensor to active the outside lighting and unfold the mirrors. There’s a hands-free trunk that doesn’t require a swipe of the foot. The power driver’s seat has an easy access feature and memory settings. Dual zone climate control, 3 USB ports with one in the rear and an excellent navi system with tons of easy to use features such as Siri Eyes Free…and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming soon is an impressive array. And on the safety front, you get side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert and a backup cam. And in the end it’s priced very reasonably like this for $27,415. The black cloth seating is comfortable but the high beltline in the rear makes seeing out the windows tough on kids.
Perhaps it’s because it arrives on the heels of the outstanding BMW 7 Series I recently tested that the all-new Optima feels like a bit of a letdown. It’s an OK car that doesn’t move the emotional needle.
