E-Kıyasla Editor’s Note

2018 Hyundai Sonata and 2018 Kia Optima approach the same decision from different angles. We compare the exact versions so changes in engine, transmission, dimensions and equipment are not hidden behind the model names.

The two cars have the same overall E-Kıyasla score. The better choice therefore depends more heavily on priorities such as urban efficiency, luggage space, performance and equipment.
