There are plenty of reasons to want to buy a 2015 Kia Optima – its sophisticated design, its smooth handling, its wind noise reduction abilities, and more.

Next time you stop by your Bismarck Kia dealership, keep all these safety features in mind when considering what car you’re going to drive away in.

NHTSA Crash-Test Ratings

Every year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) releases comprehensive safety scores for vehicles in a variety of theoretical crash situations. It measures how each part of a car holds up (or doesn’t) under certain types of extreme pressure, and then reports their findings to the public. The NHTSA’s findings are of great value to the public, and they help consumers make safe and educated choices when purchasing vehicles.

So what does this have to do with the 2015 Kia Optima? As it turns out, the 2015 Optima EX 4-Door Sedan garnered some impressive scores on its NHTSA evaluation. How impressive? In ten out of twelve categories, the 2015 Kia Optima scored a perfect 5 stars out of 5 rating.

Categories in which the 2015 Optima EX scored a 5/5 include:

Front, Driver’s

Safety Features

Of course, crash test ratings aren’t the only measure of a car or truck’s safety capabilities. Car crashes are dangerous even in the safest cars, which means the best vehicles have plenty of safety features included to protect drivers and passengers from impacts, and to prevent those impacts from happening in the first place.

On that count, the 2015 Kia Optima also does well for itself against the competition. There are multiple versions of the 2015 Optima available, some of them with unique features and add-ons, but common among all versions is the impressive list of safety features.

The following safety features are common across the LX, EX, SX, SX Turbo, and Limited editions of the 2015 Kia Optima:

Dual-mounted front seat side airbags
Full-length side curtain airbags
3-point seat belts
4-wheel disc brakes with antilock braking system
Vehicle Stability Management system (VSM)
Electronic brake-force distribution
Rear door child-safety locks
Impact-absorbing steering column
Side-impact door beams
And more²

In other words, all versions the 2015 Kia Optima are loaded with safety features that both help prevent crashes and which protect the people inside when a crash does occur.

There are many choices available to car shoppers looking for a 2015 vehicle to replace their old car, but when looked at in terms of safety ratings, the choice is a much simpler one: the 2015 Kia Optima provides a level of safety and protection on the road with which many of its competitors simply can’t compete.
