Audio and Entertainment: 2017 Kia Optima
The Optima comes in five available trim options, the LX, LX 1.6T, EX, SX and SX Limited. While the base 2017 Optima already offers a nice package of fuel economy, performance and safety, with 29 combined MPG, 185 HP and an IIHS Top Safety Pick, you can climb to the SX Limited trim and avail yourself of the street-clearing power of 245 HP plus added tech and safety options.
Let’s look at what each trim option comes with.
What is UVO3?
UVO3 is Kia’s exclusive eServices suite, which opens up a world of technology and entertainment. For the 2017 Optima, for example, UVO3 is available and begins with a 7-inch touchscreen for the base LX trim, and then works up to an 8-inch screen for higher trims.
Voice-command navigation is available for LX 1.6T and EX trims, and standard for SX and SX Limited trims.
What is Android Auto / Apple CarPlay?
Android Auto syncs up with compatible Android smartphones, and Apple CarPlay syncs up with compatible iPhones, so you can access your music playlist, for example.
You can use these apps to access Google Maps, make calls, send texts, and more, all while you’re driving!
