I personally extremely like the KIA Optima especially the exterior design and features~ It's looks so beautiful and gorgeous~ I wish I can own the KIA Optima when I'm ready to have it~
I really like that you made it a point not to get caught in a new model that hasn’t arrived yet. I have the base model 2013 Kia Forte and I’m sooooo ready for an upgrade. The 2021 Kia Optima looks amazing, but this car already has all the upgrades I want and it sounds like I’ll get a pretty good deal....I think I’ll go for it. Thanks for the video!
Have the same color (Horizon blue )2019 ex with the premium package and it's a fantastic car very sharp compared to competitors. very comfortable ride and tons of great features.
With 2019 model they changed the front bumper and the rims I know it's not a big change but it made the car look so much better.. The 2016-2018 model's front bumper looked so ugly... Thanks kia for this move
I had a 2015 Kia Optima. I was in a serious car accident in 2020. Someone ran a red light and I hit him broadside at about 45 MPH. 3 airbags went off in my face. My car was totaled, but that Optima saved my life. I had nothing but a bruise over my left eye. What car did I buy next ? A 2019 Optima LX. It was loaded with safety features I never had before. When a car saves your life you don't forget it.
I love the original Kia optima s like this one. I hate the look of the stingers. I had an 2018 Kia optima S but it was destroyed in a fire and I’m upgrading to a 2020 EX ❤
Traded my 2015 Kia Optima for this 2020 you reviewed. Same color and everything. Love it! Don't know if I'll buy another vehicle brand moving forward. Purchased from Steve Schmitt Kia in Saint Louis Missouri.
I traded my 2015 Honda Accord EX loaded in for a 2019 Kia Optima Sport, last September. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR!!!! Drives great, no issues, so far. Well I travel a lot. My only pet peeve is... I brought my car with 7 miles on it, not I have 48,000 on it, which is still good. I thought about trading my car. I went to the car lot and they were consistent with kelly blue book. In excellent condition, my car is now only worth $13,000-$14,000 and when I brought it a year ago, the sticker price was $28,000. So I'm already extremely upside down. 😩. Twp dealerships stated that although Kia's are nice cars and good, the resale value is in the tanks. My car lost $14,000 in value in just one year. That's upsetting. So I'm going to keep it.
I drive over 20k a year and my 2015 Hyundai Elantra Sport didn't lose that much value. Mileage plays a big part in trade in value. I'd think your car would have lost maybe 8k and not 14k. Shop around...Typically U lose 20% the 1st year and 10% the next 4 based on 5 year ownership but you did put a lot of miles on it. GL
You jst convinced me to buy this car!! Really nice video. I am in GTA area and would probably visit the showroom near future. Let me know if there are any offera going on. Keep up the good work 🤘
If you connect with our sales team here: www.brantfordkia.com/contactus.html Let them know you're writing in because of this video, and you'd like to be kept up to date on current offers, and the sales team will be happy to keep you up to date! Thanks for watching!
The major differences are the Panoramic Sunroof, LED Interior Lights, UVO Intelligence, and Satellite Radio are included in the EX+ but not the EX. Also, thanks for your kind words!
@@FahimSalehi786 It doesn't look like we'll have a turbo engine in the Optima for 2020. I think what we've seen at the dealership level, is the Stinger is picking up the top level Optima buyers, so it's a tougher sell when you've got a true sports car sitting next to an Optima SXL in the showroom.
The 2021 Optima looks amazing, but this is a great car for someone looking for great value in the final model year of a car. We have buyers for this car with it's full warranty just like we would for used cars when we sell new cars right beside them on the lot.
Great question! It was JUST revealed on Kia's Korean website, here: www.kia.com/kr/main.html I spoke to our head office people about it, and I can tell you that in North America, they're still deciding if they'll call it the Optima or something new. Things are VERY early, but stay tuned to our channel because as soon as we can tell you more, we will. From what I do know, it sounds like quite the car!
I don't believe the 2020 Optima has Harmon Kardon. Previous years had more trim levels than the 2020. The new Kia K5 is out very soon, and it will have more trim levels available. That K5 will replace the Optima in our lineup.
@@BrantfordKia In the US the Kia Optima has an EX Premium trim level that comes standard with Harman Kardon premium 660 Watt sound system. The new K5 I think uses Bose.
@@ashykutcher Yes, The American models are different than here, and I assumed that you were looking for the higher level audio system, I didn't know that you were looking for one specific brand of stereo.
@@--emt I'm not sure. I checked for the button on the car for 2020, so maybe I misunderstood. The mirrors have the button so that usually means that they can do what you asked.
@@BrantfordKia I didnt ask anything lol I replied to vonna because I own this car and you cannot toggle the mirrors to fold in and out whatsoever on the 2019 model ex with the premium package. have a great day
If you're referring to the parking system shown on the Hyundai commercials for the new Sonata, this car doesn't have that. I would expect the next generation of Optima to have that. Hopefully we'll know soon!
We have 2 Optima's in stock, and one is a service loaner. We're ready for the K5 to show up anytime! The Optima's will sell to value shoppers, we're not concerned about that, but the K5 looks absolutely stunning. We can't wait to see it!
Not impressed no offense the new sonata that's the car I really have my eye on the limited trim that car is bad in every way and I don't normally look at Hyundai cars but the 2020 sonata yowwwww that's bad
More dealerships need to make videos like this! Great job Brantford Kia!
Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching!

@@iamhimmiii_nutron The Base model can be bought for under 20k where I live. Enjoy your new 🚗...

At the time that I'm writing this comment, that car is a fantastic bargain!

My sis rent a 2020 Kia its fast it takes off unlike forte. I love it this will be my first car for sure
Yeah, now that everyone has seen it, they're is waiting for the 2021 Optima.
That's cool. We're happy to sell these Optima's to those who want them, and future Optima's to the people who are excited about those!
I was going to purchase 2020 KIA Optima, but now I'm going to wait for the 2021...it looks amazingggggg 😁
@@mlm398 We're looking forward to learning more about it! It does look pretty great!
The 2020 Base LX model under 20k where I live...but I'm thinking the S Model. Looking for a gr8 buy.
The 2021 Optima isn't coming. Why? It's been replaced by the Kia K5.
Just bought a 2020 premium luve it this is my second one i also have a base 2018. Didnt care to much for 2021
Enjoy it!!
With 2019 model they changed the front bumper and the rims I know it's not a big change but it made the car look so much better.. The 2016-2018 model's front bumper looked so ugly... Thanks kia for this move
It's funny how subtle changes can improve (or ruin) the look of a car. The latest Optima looks better than ever to me!
I love my 2015 Optima Hybrid. Almost done paying it off
I don't think I've ever met an Optima Hybrid owner who didn't love their car!
Good for you. My 2015 Hyundai Sport paid for...
I'm glad KIA has taken the advantage of the mid-size market. I do see a lot of import mid-size on the road! it's a great review! thanks for doing it!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for your kind words!
I bought a 2019 LX 6 months ago. But mine came with a sunroof, wheels from the EX, and power seats.
Both front seats powered?

We hear stories like this all the time!
What did you end up getting? Hopefully stinger?
@@daebak7370 hola, i still not get Stinger, i want 2022 but i wait for special price. I like Genesis G70 too, but i can only pick one.
I have the 2017 and I have loved it! Great fuel efficiency, but really nice!
Yeah! The Optima is a great car!

It's the EX+ in this video. We only have the EX and EX+ for 2020.
This vehicle gets expensive when you get up to SXL trim

It depends on what your priorities are. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Your LX Plus won't have a panoramic sunroof, and there are a few more options on this car than yours, but yes, it's the same basic look as your car.
