Test Drive the 2016 Kia Optima in Kenosha WI

Sleek and modern, both the Nissan and the Kia sedans offer the latest high-tech comfort and convenience features. When it comes to the interior design, there is an innate sense of luxury that makes the Optima stand out from the Nissan. Under the hood, the Optima features a 2.4-liter I-4 engine, one slightly smaller than the 2.5-liter under the hood of the Nissan. Both vehicles offer over 180 horsepower, more than enough to make for an enjoyable and responsive drive. However, the slightly higher horsepower rating from the Optima gives it a small advantage over the Nissan.
When it comes to the interior, both vehicles offer great style and a truly modern look. The Nissan's design is more simplistic and features fewer design elements overall, while the Kia's more busy interior feels functional and detailed. The Optima comes with a standard six-speaker audio system, allowing for a more immersive listening experience than that of the four-speaker system inside the Altima. Those looking to spend money on a vehicle that feels and drives with style and comfort could choose either the Altima or the Optima, but the slightly more luxurious feature package in the Optima makes it the better value.
