Kia vs Mazda: Safety

Safety is key when you’re spending part of every day out on the road. To help, these two sedans are here to provide available automatic braking systems. In the event of a possible collision, your vehicle will automatically engage the brakes to help avoid an accident.

You’ll feel a little safer in the Kia Optima, though, thanks to its available Driver Attention Warning system. Your Kia vehicle is equipped to monitor your driving style, so it can urge you to take a break when it detects you’re driving erratically. This ensures you’ll always have an extra pair of eyes looking out for your best interest.
