Kia Optima vs. Ford Fusion: Compare
Performance
Remarkably fun-to-drive, the Kia Optima is all
about delivering an unbeatable performance. With its available 2.0-liter
gasoline direct injection turbo engine, you'll get class-leading horsepower
with the torque to match. It's the get-up and go that you crave from a
sports car, all wrapped-up in your dependable daily driver. What's more,
the turbo engine won't break the bank in the process. The Fusion's
equivalent trim falls short, offering 270 horsepower compared to the Optima's
274 horsepower.

Safety
When it comes to safety, the engineers of the Kia
Optima have thought of everything. Each trim offers a variety of standard
features that are designed to monitor the vehicle's surroundings and to protect
your passengers. Its innovative features include: full-length side
curtain airbags, vehicle stability management, traction control system,
electronic brake-force distribution and much more. The Ford Fusion, while
well-equipped in its own right, fails to offer the same full-suite of safety
and security features.

Technology
Behind
the wheel of the Kia Optima, you'll stay comfortably connected -- no matter
where you happen to travel. With the Optima's available UVO eServices
infotainment system, you'll be able to access your favorite smartphone
applications with a simple voice command. Stream music, schedule service
appointments or call for help -- it's all possible within the tech-enhanced
interior of the Kia Optima. Ford's SYNC system is similar but does not
offer the same seamless Google integration as the Optima's UVO eServices
system.
