The 2018 Toyota Camry has ushered in a new era in automotives. It is the first in its class to have standard crash avoidance features. How does it compare to its rival, the Kia Optima? Let’s take a closer look.
Spaciousness
Camrys are one of the roomiest in the class. Optima second-row headroom suffers from a sloping roofline. Legroom is compromised by the Kia’s low-mounted seat cushions.
Performance
Camrys now have a stronger engine that generates over 200 horsepower. That’s more than the 185-horsepower Optima. It’s easy to see which one is more fun to drive.
Safety
Camrys already have top safety ratings and a class-leading ten airbags. Now they are adding a standard lane watch and lane assist as well as a standard autobrake with forward collision warning. The autobrake also is tied to a pedestrian watch and to active cruise control. Every Camry shopper at McKinnon Toyota dealer near Montgomery AL drives away with these features. Where offered on the Optima, they come at an extra cost.
Dash Tech
The Optima starts at a lower price, but that’s because it is missing its dash tech. The rearview camera and Entune system on the Toyota are ready to go for every Camry shopper. You won’t have to ask yourself if you deserve it. Smartphone integration and a touchscreen are already aboard.
