Korean cars so quickly rushed uphill that no one had time to come to their senses. They are already very attractive in appearance, and for their equipment they do not blush, and they do not annoy with frequent breakdowns. Have the old-timers of the market missed a dangerous opponent on the battlefield, pretending to be a poor relative at first?
APPEARANCE
Volkswagen Passat
Volkswagen has managed to create for itself the image of a manufacturer of cars that are ideal on all fronts. At the same time, it does not matter at all which particular German brand car is being discussed.
Five years ago, many would have simply smirked when they heard that the Kia is rivaling the Passat. And now the day has come when the newcomer "Optima" literally breathes in the back of a noble rival and strives to lead a fair portion of customers.
Yes, the Passat is still good: the interior pleases with conciseness, the exterior with versatility and aristocracy, and the level of equipment will appeal to even capricious customers. But it seems that the time has come to mobilize: there are too many different dangers lurking on every corner. Not only do we have to follow our Japanese colleagues, but even now the Koreans are pushing.

People who genuinely liked Kia Magentis can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand. This car was obviously not bought out of love for beauty. His successor, Optima, certainly does not face such an unworthy fate. The car was not just bigger than its predecessor, it jumped over several steps at once and is now ready to go to war against more eminent and thoroughbred rivals.
Optima’s appearance, especially when placed next to the Magentis, is amazing. But not only in it. The main thing is that now the car is ready to boast of equipment that many will envy. The owner of the “Kia” will receive a panoramic roof with a sunroof, and a rear view camera, and navigation, and heated steering wheel, and much, much more. Hence the price at the level of competitors from Germany and Japan.

Everyone is happy with the Passat, but the Order for courage receives Optima.
BODY AND KIT
By the number of possible body types, the Passat easily breaks ahead: four different modifications to suit every taste. The first in the list of preferences is, of course, the sedan. In addition to it, you can buy a four-door coupe with the SS prefix in the name, for a large family - a station wagon, but for lovers of “as if off-road” marketers came up with the “Passat Altrek”. "Kia" is content with one body - a four-door. But in terms of choosing a complete set, the "Korean" jumped over the "German". "Optima" will be offered in four different versions, but the "Passat" has one less.

The price of the Kia was higher than that of the Passat, but the equipment of the Korean car is much more generous.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Ventilation and rear seat heating are required for higher-class cars. But Kia did not stint and allowed the owners to enjoy comfort for relatively little money

"Kia" takes a considerable amount of equipment for relatively little money. Other brands would require a surcharge for the same options. However, the buyer is unable to order additional equipment.
Volkswagen went the other way: the list of options is pleasant to read. The only frustrating thing is that for the painting of the body with metallic or mother of pearl you have to pay 19, 130 rubles. Here at Kia they don’t take money for the color. To balance, we added the Passat package of options for 60, 190 rubles (front fog lights, parking sensors, bi-xenon headlights with turning light, LED lights, tire pressure sensors).

We chose the Volkswagen Passat with a 152-horsepower engine and a 7-speed robotic gearbox with two clutches, and the Kia-Optima with a more powerful 180-horsepower engine paired with a 6-band automatic. True, the number 180 is impressive only on paper - the acceleration at Passat is noticeably faster (8.8 s versus 9.5 s at Kia). The cars are almost identical in filling, but the Korean sedan still has some little things, thanks to which it draws sympathy to itself. This heated steering wheel and rear seats, navigation and rear view camera. So, in today's duel, Optima prevails.
