The 2008 Kia Optima comes in four distinctive trim levels, with the Optima LX being the top-most model. It comes with all the extra accessories, safety features, as well as luxury features, which aren’t available in the base and standard trim levels.

Performance and Competitors

As far as the performance goes, the 2008 Kia Optima LX was an excellent sedan in the market, which could compete with the likes of Hyundai Sonata, but it was offered at a considerably lower price. This meant that those who couldn’t afford to shell out big bucks on the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata could grab a competitive sedan model at a decent price.

Interiors and Fuel Economy

The interiors, fuel economy as well as the overall performance of the 2008 Optima were far superior to its predecessors. The latest generation Optima is expected to come with even enhanced security, and many more luxury features.

Moreover, the design and body style of the Optima has always been quite praiseworthy, and the 2008 Kia Optima LX is no exception to the Optima line-up in this regard. However, the 2010 Optima is going to be even more exciting as it will be loaded with cent percent leather upholstery and top-notch interiors, not to mention the additional safety features as well as the luxury add-ons like navigation unit.
