New Nissan Altima vs the Kia Optima
Differences Between the Nissan Altima and the Kia Optima
The mid-size sedan class houses a range of models for car shoppers from Bartlett to Olive Branch to consider, and when you need to choose, you'll want to compare the offers in several areas. We know that the Nissan Altima remains a mid-size sedan with a wonderful combination of traits car shoppers want most, which is why we compared the Altima and Kia Optima in those areas!
Design
The Nissan Altima is the longer of the two sedans while also being lower to the ground that gives it a more powerful look than the Kia Optima, which the Altima backs up with its performance. That exterior impresses onlookers, and Cordova drivers enjoying the Altima will find that the interior is just as stylish and comfortable thanks to a smart cabin with more shoulder room than the Kia Optima provides. Whoever said that looking good meant sacrificing comfort?
Performance
Mid-size sedans are known for their sporty feels as well as the efficiency they can provide to save Collierville drivers in the long run. Well, no matter which of those driving characteristics, efficiency or performance, you want, the Nissan Altima provides it more easily than the Optima. The engine standard in the Altima gets more miles per gallon while having more horsepower and torque than the Optima's standard engine. Plus, if you want to upgrade performance, the Nissan Altima offers a more powerful engine, a Variable Compression Turbo (VCT) engine that can change its shape, and all-wheel drive that isn't an option for the new Kia Optima.
Technology
The Nissan Altima is one of the smartest models in our new inventory, which the VCT engine above highlights, and it outpaces the Kia Optima in a few ways. While both mid-size sedans provide Southaven drivers with standard 8-inch displays, Apple CarPlay, and forward collision warning, the Nissan Altima proves its readiness for the modern world with USB Type-C ports for faster charging and data transfer and an Advanced Driver-Assist® Display, which can fill you in on the info you need.
