If you're weighing a 2020 Kia Optima, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for tech features compete with more expensive sedans, and comfortable seats for long-distance travel. The honest trade-off: touchscreen can be laggy when cold. This example sold for $14,995, showed 141,183 km and is rated an official 9.8 L/100km combined.
This 2020 Kia Optima EX in Gray offers a comfortable, well-equipped sedan with 141,183km on the odometer. Loaded with heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a full suite of driver assistance features including blind spot detection and forward collision warning. Priced at $14,995, it's a smart, affordable choice for anyone looking for a reliable daily driver in London, Ontario.
What stood out about this one
I've had a lot of Optimas come through the lot over the years, and this EX trim always stands out to me for how much it offers without asking buyers to stretch their budget. The heated seats and dual-zone climate control are the kind of features you don't expect to see at this price point, and they make a real difference on those cold London mornings.
This one has seen its fair share of kilometres, which just means it's been someone's reliable daily companion. The safety tech on this car — blind spot detection, lane departure warning, forward collision warning — is honestly more than you'd find on plenty of newer vehicles in this price range, and that gives me real confidence recommending it.
If you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped sedan that won't drain your wallet at the pump or at purchase, this Optima EX deserves a look. Come take it for a drive and see for yourself.
