2020 Kia Optima LX Specs

Kia Optima

There’s nothing unlikeable about the LX as the base-spec trim; in fact, it’s well outfitted with features. Though its steering wheel is a standard urethane unit, most cabin materials are of decent quality, and the seats are upholstered in high-end black cloth fabric. Entertainment is covered by an eight-inch touchscreen display unit tethered to an AM/FM/MP3 compatible stereo with a six-speaker audio layout. It comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, as well as in Bluetooth connectivity. But the base 2.4-liter engine is a bit of a drag, the biggest sign of cost-cutting for the base model.
