Kia Optima vs. Toyota Camry: Compare Exterior Style

The Kia Optima was designed to turn heads, no matter where your travels happen to take you.  Equally at home in the city as the mountains, the Optima's bold exterior is complimented by chrome finish exterior door handles, dual body-color heated power mirrors, and mirror-mounted LED Turn-Signal indicators.  Its sculpted frame and aggressive front grille offers a style that is both unique and timeless, pleasing drivers of all ages.  The Camry's exterior, while appealing in its own right, is a bit more basic in design.  A sport mesh grille and sleek hood lines are attractive, but don't quite match up to the Optima's eye-catching exterior.

 

Kia Optima vs. Toyota Camry: Compare Safety Features

Behind the wheel of the Optima, drivers will experience safety features that are second to none.  From full-length side curtain airbags to its brake assist system, the Optima's advanced technology works to monitor and protect your passengers from every angle.  Other standard features include: vehicle stability management, side-impact door beams and front/rear crumple zones.  The Camry offers a variety of safety features as well, including a blind spot monitor and multiple airbags.  The bottom line?  Both cars are well-equipped, but it's the Optima that goes above and beyond the call of duty.

 

Kia Optima vs. Toyota Camry: Compare Power

When it comes down to sheer power, we can't help but look at the numbers.  Each vehicle's standard trim offers a fuel efficient engine with ample power.  The Optima; however, takes the cake. The LX trim's 2.4 liter, inline 4 engine delivers 192 horsepower at 6300 RPM.  The Camry LE, in comparison, offers 178 horsepower.  Behind the wheel of the Optima, an exciting ride comes standard.
