2018 Kia Optima Hybrid Trims Comparison
2018 Optima Hybrid trim level differences
The front-wheel-drive 2018 Kia Optima Hybrid is well-equipped no matter which version you choose. The entry-level Premium comes with dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and keyless entry and ignition. The Premium's Convenience package offers a good value for the extra features you get, while the EX takes that and adds goodies such as leather upholstery and a kicking Harman Kardon sound system. An electric motor and a 2.0-liter engine combine to produce 192 hp. Most hybrids have a continuously variable automatic transmission, but the Optima Hybrid sticks with a six-speed automatic transmission that gives a more traditional shifting feel.
Which 2018 Optima Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think the EX is worth the extra money. It includes the Premium trim's optional features, such as blind-spot monitoring and acoustic-insulated front windows, and adds both useful features and luxuries. For starters, you get 60/40-split folding rear seats, leather upholstery, heated front seats, LED daytime running lights, and an upgraded infotainment system and stereo. The EX also has access to more optional active safety features and driver aids.
