Pictured left is the 2018 Kia Optima with optional features.

Why settle for average when you can be driving home in an exciting midsize sedan like the 2018 Kia Optima? Equipped with ample muscle, cozy amenities, and the latest safety advancements, this sedan has what it takes to make you fall head over heels. Best of all, you can see what the Optima is capable of for yourself by joining one of the friendly staff members at World Car Kia for a test drive!
As soon as you climb into the cabin of the 2018 Optima, you’ll realize that the engineers at Kia had your comfort in mind when designing it. You’ll feel your troubles melt away as you ease into the available quilted Nappa leather-trimmed seats with heating and ventilation technology. For the pinnacle of relaxation, you can also opt for a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, which affords you a considerable degree of freedom to customize your position and angle. You’ll even be able to upgrade to a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, so your hands are cozy as well. No one should feel cramped as you make your way to dinner at Bella On the River, as the Optima offers an accommodating 45.5 and 35.6 inches of front and rear legroom, respectively.
Whenever you’re out for a drive, you can always rest assured that the 2018 Kia Optima is prepared for the unexpected, as both standard and available safety systems can detect a dangerous situation ahead of time, giving you more time to react. Thanks to standard Blind Spot Detection1, you’ll always know when the coast is clear for lane changes and merges. Furthermore, the optional Forward Collision Warning System2 will sense if an impact is imminent, so you can hit the brakes. If you’re unable to react in time, then available Autonomous Emergency Braking3 can intervene to supply the stopping force that you need. No matter what might be coming around the next corner, you’ll be ready for it in your Optima!
Finally, we come to what lies beneath the hood. To start, you’ll have access to a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine at the base trim, which generates a satisfying 185-hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. For a bit more vigor, you can always opt for the available 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain and its 178-hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. However, for the most that the Kia Optima has to offer, you’ll want to go with the 2.0L turbo system. Delivering an exhilarating 245-hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, this outstanding engine will get your adrenaline pumping in no time at all! Furthermore, you can enjoy heightened precision with the available sport-tuned suspension, giving you the ability to hug sharp curves and bends like a pro.
This is only just a small taste of everything that the 2018 Kia Optima for sale in San Antonio, TX, has to offer! For the most complete experience, drop by World Car Kia to speak with our staff. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions before stopping in.

“ Bought my first car there. Nice Kia forte and friendly staff. Very helpful finance, and Manager, also thanks for all the work. ”
5 Star Review
“ Highly recommend this dealership! Me and my husband had been looking for a fuel efficient car so we found World Car Kia. I was very nervous to go in because of our credit and current budget situation.. and then we met Jet. Very nice and understanding man! I can't say enough good things about him. All the staff that we interacted with from the manager Chris, to Marco who we signed the contract with, were very nice and professional. I felt Chris really worked on our behalf to find a lender who would meet our needs and stay within our budget. I love our new car, and I am so thankful for the experience and the service we received. Just be real with them and tell that what you are needing and I am confident they can help you the same way they helped us. ”
