This award represents top scores in each of the five crashworthiness tests and Kia’s integration of active safety technology into the 2016 Optima. Kia makes safety a priority with a lengthy list of available driver assistance features on the 2016 Optima, but the Optima also has some noteworthy standard equipment to take advantage of, like rear-camera display. Some of the available features that helped hoist the Optima to this high honor are available Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Front Collision Warning System, and Lane Departure Warning System, among many others.
“The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety sets some of the highest standards of crashworthiness, and the Top Safety Pick Plus designation is a significant achievement for the Kia brand and for our best-selling vehicle. We are pleased that the all-new Optima received strong ratings across the range of rigorous tests set forth by IIHS. This rating validates the efforts of our engineers and the priority we place on safety for our consumers.” – Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, KMA.
