What Are the Differences Between the Toyota Camry and Kia Optima?

A longstanding favorite in the midsize sedan class, the 2018 Toyota Camry promises to deliver incredible value with a wealth of standard features and an affordable price tag – a combination that the Kia Optima cannot match in this 2018 Toyota Camry vs 2018 Kia Optima debate. Toyota Camry L models start at just $23,495 and will provide a more athletic and efficient performance than the Kia competition with an impressive list of features.

At the heart of the 2018 Toyota Camry design, you will find an all-new 2.5-liter four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine that will shell out an impressive 206 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. Married to a Direct Shift eight-speed automatic transmission, the four-cylinder Toyota Camry will achieve an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. Drivers in search of more pronounced thrills can opt for a refined 3.5-liter V-6 engine that employs Toyota D-4S fuel injection technology to make 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. Paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission, the potent powertrain will still make 22 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Kia Optima models counter with three available engine options. A standard 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine gets paired with a six-speed automatic to make 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway – numbers that fall well short of the four-cylinder Camry. The Kia Optima LX 1.6T employs a 178-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and makes a humdrum 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Top-of-the-line Kia Optima models feature a 245-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

Technophiles will love what the next-generation 2018 Toyota Camry brings to the table. With the implementation of the Toyota Entune 3.0 infotainment system, you will enjoy unrivaled entertainment and connectivity. Entry-level Toyota Camry models feature a seven-inch touchscreen display with access to Entune App Suite and Connect Navigation Scout® GPS Link technology. Upper trim levels will add Remote Connect, Service Connect, 4G LTE Wi-Fi Connect and much more. An available 10-inch color Head Up Display promises to deliver an incredible ride.
