2019 Kia Optima: Engine Specifications and Fuel Economy 

It’s easy to see why the Optima has been growing in popularity over the years. It’s sleek, it’s powerful, and its performance is impressive. Standard equipment puts a 2.4L I-4 engine that offers up 185 horsepower in the entry-level model. In the EX model, a 1.6L turbocharged I-4 engine is what you’ll find under the hood; it’s capable of up to 178 horsepower.

Both of those engine choices offer impressive power while at the same time offering equally impressive fuel economy. With the 2.4L I-4 engine, drivers can expect to see EPA-estimated averages of 25 MPG on city streets and 35 MPG on the highways.1 Drivers whose cars are outfitted with the 1.6L turbo engine will be getting 27 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the open road.1 Keep your eyes on the road and not on your gas tank in the Kia Optima!

What’s UVO? 

While Kia’s UVO infotainment system has been named one of the best for several years, Kia has still found a way to improve it even further, offering a new system in the 2019 Optima. This year’s edition is called the UVO link, and it’s allowing drivers to get a better grasp on their infotainment needs.

Your smartphone, when properly paired with the UVO link, offers remote access to several different functions in your vehicle. Gone are the days of sitting back against a cold seat cushion as your car warms up during the frosty winter months. Instead, you’ll have access to adjust the climate settings in your Optima from your phone, all from the comfort and warmth of your home.
