Exterior Lighting

The Optima features standard fog lamps and automatic headlights. Fog lamps are essential to help increase visibility in the event of fog, rain, or even snow. You will not find these on the Hyundai Sonata, as they are not available for it. The Optima also provides convenience with its automatic headlights. Automatic lighting allows you to quickly begin your journey without having to fumble around in the dark to turn on your headlights. The Optima can sense the level of lighting around you, and will turn the headlights on for you. Automatic headlights are available for the Sonata, but obtaining them will require additional costs.

Interior Comfort and Convenience

Sometimes driving for long periods of time can cause an achy back and stiff neck. With the Optima, you will never have to experience discomfort! The standard multi-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support offers relief and satisfaction at all times. You can find your perfect driving angle when you are behind the wheel of the Optima, and lumbar support keeps your back from becoming sore. This feature is optional in the Sonata, so you’ll have to spend more to enjoy this luxury.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob that the Optima supplies outfits the interior elegantly, and they also promote contentment with their smooth surfaces. Not only does the leather add flair to the cabin, but you will feel fancy driving with it. You can opt for a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob in the Sonata, but they will cost you.

Performance and Mechanical

The Optima provides faster horsepower than the Sonata, so you can move swiftly and more efficiently down the road. The engine immobilizer inside the Optima is implemented so that you are the only one who can drive away with your vehicle. This anti-theft feature is not available in the Sonata, so take advantage of this security measure provided by the Optima.
