If there’s one thing you’re assured of when you drive a Kia Optima, it is that you’re provided with amenities that always give you full control with every trip you take.

For one, the Optima comes equipped with the Blind Spot Detection System, allowing drivers to scan their surroundings consistently to avoid potential danger. Whenever changing lanes with a vehicle in your blind spot, the Optima will instantly alert you, preventing you from a possible collision.

Additionally, the Optima affords you control in and out of lanes with the Lane Keep Assist System. Whenever you start drifting out of your lane without signaling, the assist system will notify you, intervening with corrective steering whenever necessary to ensure you’re staying steady as you’re driving. Whether driving in a residential neighborhood or on the busiest highway, the system looks out for your safety to keep you safe from unforeseen issues.

The Forward Collision Avoidance Assists always keep you alert of what’s ahead, helping you to monitor the driving surroundings and look out for potential threats. If a vehicle is ahead, the driver may not immediately respond to a potential collision. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist applies the brakes right away to reduce the possibility of an accident.

Finally, there’s the Rear-Cross Traffic Alert, keeping drivers in control of their surroundings every time they back up or get ready to park. Each time you back out of a parking space, the Rear-Cross Traffic Alert utilizes a detailed radar system that’s integrated into the rear bumper of the Optima. The system warns drivers of oncoming traffic approaching from the left or right when reversing.

Safety and control are paramount when trying to get the most out of any driving experience. The Optima makes both elements a top priority, and each of these features lets drivers maximize their experiences in many ways.
