While the Honda Accord 2023 has a starting price of KWD 7,499 and the Nissan Altima 2023 is priced at KWD 6,450, the Kia Optima offers great value starting at KWD 6,000. One of its two available trim levels, the 2-4L-GDI, includes features such as Airbags, Anti-theft alarm, BA (Brake Assist), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Cupholders, Fabric Seats, Foldable Rear Seats, Footwell Lights, Electric Door Mirrors, Fog Lamp - Rear Only, Halogen Headlamps, High Mount Stop Lamp, AUX, Bluetooth, Cruise Control, and Cruise Control Switch on Steering.
This Korean sedan is equipped with a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that generates an impressive 185 horsepower and 241 Nm of torque. In comparison, the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima come with 2.4-litre and 2.5-litre engines respectively, but the Optima stands out with its robust performance and fuel efficiency.
In Kuwait, the average price of the Optima across all versions is estimated at KWD 6,000. With an anticipated annual depreciation of 30%, we expect the 2-4L-GDI to cost around KWD 4,200 in the used car market by next year.
The Kia Optima is also known for its sleek design and advanced safety features, making it a popular choice among families. With the addition of modern technology like a touchscreen infotainment system and smartphone integration, it remains competitive in its segment. Moreover, Kia's reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction enhances its appeal in the Kuwaiti market, where drivers prioritize value and performance.
