Sonata Vs Optima: Interior Features 

Style makes a mark in both these midsize cars. The 2019 Sonata and Optima are dressed to the nines with stunning available leather seats. Leather comes in sporty Black in the Kia, while the Hyundai offers a wider range of shades: Black, Gray, and a rich Beige.
One of our favorite features? We think you’ll like the available panoramic sunroof in both cars. They can tilt or slide open to let the fresh air and natural light flood in. Let your passengers entertain themselves with expansive views of the skies above.
Look to the trunk, and you’ll find that the Sonata just barely edges out the Optima in terms of volume. Its 16.3 cubic feet of space will store a bit more adventure gear than the Kia car’s 15.9 cubic feet.  

Hyundai Sonata Vs Kia Optima: Technology To Keep You Connected 

What of technology? The Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima both feature more than enough to keep techies hooked. User-friendly infotainment makes it easy to access your apps, navigation maps, and more.
Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® come standard in both vehicles. They offer a simplified way to link up your smartphone with the touchscreen infotainment systems. All it takes is a swipe of the finger, and you can send messages and manage your music library.
Where the Sonata stands out is its available Hyundai Blue Link® telematics system. This state-of-the-art feature offers remote access and seamless connectivity. It will enhance your drive with:
• Remote Car Finder
• Destination Send-to-Car by Google
• On-Demand Diagnostics & Alerts
• Remote Door Lock & Unlock
 

Sonata Vs Optima: Performance Specifications 


As we mentioned earlier, the 2019 Sonata and Optima share powertrains. Peek under the hood, and you’ll find some impressive engines. Their optional turbo 4-cylinder engines are especially robust, with all of 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque on tap. Get up to speed in seconds—literally.
Front-wheel drive comes standard in both cars. Test drivers have found that these Kia and Hyundai cars drive smoothly over pavement and handle well. So, is there any difference between the two?
In terms of performance, just a slight one: The Sonata has a slight edge in fuel economy. Equip its standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, and you’ll get an EPA-estimated 26 city/35 highway MPG.1 Fuel economy in the Optima is still strong but falls a bit short. You can expect to see 25 city/35 highway MPG on the roads.

Is The Hyundai Sonata Or Kia Optima Right For Me?

We hope Ann Arbor, Southfield, and Farmington Hills shoppers found this car comparison helpful! If you need a new midsize sedan, the 2019 Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima are two eminently capable options.
However, the Sonata really excels in terms of telematics, cabin luxury, and efficiency. If these sound like qualities you value, schedule a test drive at Feldman Hyundai of New Hudson today!
