About This 2016 Kia Optima LX

This 2016 Kia Optima LX is a four-door midsize sedan with 127,709 miles on the odometer — well within the range where a properly maintained Optima continues to perform reliably for years to come. Kia's fifth-generation Optima, introduced in 2016, was a significant redesign that brought sharper styling, improved refinement, and better overall build quality compared to its predecessor. This particular example gives buyers access to that improved generation at a price point that makes sense for budget-conscious shoppers in the Taylor, Michigan area. For buyers in Wayne County looking for a stylish, practical sedan without the luxury price tag, this Optima LX is worth a close look.
 

2016 Kia Optima Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Optima LX is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission sending power to the front wheels. The 2.4L inline-four is Kia's naturally aspirated GDI unit, producing around 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. In real-world driving, that means confident merging on Michigan highways, smooth passing, and a comfortable cruise on I-75 or Michigan Avenue without feeling underpowered. The six-speed Sportmatic transmission offers both traditional automatic shifting and a manual mode for drivers who enjoy a bit more control. Front-wheel drive keeps things predictable and manageable year-round, and while Michigan winters can be challenging, a good set of winter tires on this platform delivers a composed, capable driving experience.
 

Kia Optima LX Features and Interior

The 2016 Optima LX trim provides a well-rounded set of standard features that make everyday driving genuinely comfortable. Inside, you'll find a spacious cabin with seating for five, generous trunk space at 15.9 cubic feet, and a layout designed with driver ergonomics in mind. Standard features on the LX include a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, a 5-inch touchscreen audio display, USB and auxiliary inputs, automatic headlights, and power windows, locks, and mirrors.
 

Technology and Safety

The 2016 Optima LX also comes equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, and an easy-to-navigate infotainment interface that doesn't require a learning curve. On the safety side, the Optima earned strong crash test ratings in its generation, with standard front and side airbags, stability control, and anti-lock brakes giving buyers confidence behind the wheel.
 

Kia Optima Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 Kia Optima has built a solid reputation among owners for dependability and lower-than-average maintenance costs. J.D. Power rated this generation of Optima well for initial quality, and long-term owners frequently report that with routine oil changes and basic upkeep, the 2.4-liter engine holds up well into the 150,000–200,000 mile range. Common ownership experiences include smooth transmission behavior, minimal rust issues when properly maintained, and affordable parts availability nationwide. The Optima's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty (original owner) speaks to Kia's confidence in these engines — and while that factory coverage has expired for this vehicle, the underlying engineering stands on its own merit. Buyers considering this used Optima in Wayne County, MI should request a vehicle history report and have a trusted technician inspect it — standard advice for any used vehicle at this mileage.
