Top Safety Pick Plus Rating Presented To 2016 Kia Optima

The 2016 Kia Optima has now earned the highest-possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) of Top Safety Pick Plus when it is equipped with the optional front crash prevention system. This system earned a “superior” rating from the IIHS and the vehicle’s impressive crashworthiness earned it a “good” rating in each of the five crash tests from the IIHS. These test include the side impact, head restraint, small overlap front, moderate overlap front, and roof strength.

A Rear-Camera Display comes standard on the 2016 Kia Optima. Some additional safety features that are available depending on the trim level include Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC), 360-degree Surround-View Monitor, Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Rear Parking Assist System (RPAS), Front Collision Warning System (FCWS), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Lane Change Assist, and  Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB).

“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,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, KMA. “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.”
