The well-loved Kia Optima received a complete overhaul in the 2016 model year. Because the design is still fresh and modern, there will only be minor changes in the 2018 Optima model. The notable changes that drivers will see include a focus on driver assistance features like blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking assist that will come standard on all trim levels. A new S trim, which is a little sportier than other trim offerings, has also been added. So, how much will this popular sedan set you back? Find out what the price of the 2018 Kia Optima is and the engine options below.
