2017 KIA Optima

So much more than a pretty face as the new Kia Optima is just fun to drive.  Great props are given to the Optima's refined chassis, upscale interior and the choice of four power plants for anyone's taste. 

One is waiting for you in your favorite color and style with the friendly folks at Huffines KIA McKinney and get ready for a drive.  When you slide into those comfortable sturdy seats, you will see that this Optima has lots of tech to satisfy you and your needs in communication, entertainment and safety. 

All yours for the asking is an available touch screen infotainment setup with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and the very important autonomous emergency braking.  Other features that are uncommon at this level, are available quilted leather upholstery, panoramic sun-roof and even a 360-degree parking camera. 

This new Optima is a little taller and longer which is good for head and leg room.  The Kia Optima in its wide and assertive stance is still a car that is fun to drive around town or the long trip to grandmas.  The ride will be quiet and smooth. The Optima is still a great blend of performance, value, style and right in the mix with today's elite mid-sized family sedans.  On that test drive all of this will come into focus. 

What may be pushing you down the road is the peppy 2.4-liter four banger with 185 horses.  You can also try out the aggressive 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 245 lively horses that are also connected to a 6-speed automatic with 195 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque.  New for your test drive choices is the Eco model that comes with its own drive train and a 1.6-liter turbo four with over 175 horses and excellent fuel economy.  Want even better MPG, then check out the plug-in hybrid that is rated up to 99 miles per gallon.  Not a misprint!  Just wave to those gas pumps as you cruise by.  

Everything just comes together with a new Kia Optima with a slew of modern features, sharp styling, value, roomy interior and great driving dynamics that make this Optima as fun to drive as it is to be seen in.  So, what are you waiting for?  Can't be the price.  Go ahead and take that short drive to Huffines KIA McKinney or visit them online at http://www.huffineskiamckinney.com and do your own due diligence.  The bet is on that you and yours will leave with a smile, not only because you brought back the “fun factor” in the drive-times, but for the great deal you received.
