I would go with the Kia Optima. It looks nicer than the Toyota Camry, the styling is sharper, and with 275 hp from the 2.0 16V turbo, it will give better gas mileage than the larger-engined, but lower-output Toyota. The Camry is just bland and extremely dull. 1 Like |

That's the old Camry you linked the new one looks better

I would take the new Camry with the 270 HP engine Camry XSE over any car in its class |

Fulaman198: No! Its not the older camry, the Optima and that camry are the same generations. |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 7:46am On Dec 15, 2014 |
lomomike: Did you not see the link of the Camry I linked? It is the older design of the Camry 2012 - 2014. It's not the 2015 Camry which currently is out and does not look like that. |

Fulaman198: lets discuss and compare them with what we see everytime in Nigeria, not about what is released and we haven't seen yet. that optima is one sleek car the camry is..... 1 Like |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 8:32pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
lomomike: The current Kia Optima design came out in 2014, The previous life cycle for the Camry came out in 2011 for the 2012 Model year. It's not a fair comparison, compare apples with apples, the new Camry mid-life refresh came out September 2014 for the 2015 Camry model. Therefore Comparing the CURRENT 2015 Camry with the current 2015 Optima is a far more fair comparison. It doesn't make sense to compare the 2012-14 Camry to a 2015 Optima. It's not by any means an apples to apples comparison 1 Share

That Kia Optima was launched here in the UK in February 2012, 3 months before I was contracted to Kia UK. Definitely not a 2015 model. |

Siena: In a way you are right, however there was a slight redesign that's hardly noticeable unless if you are a Kia Fanatic (like me) http://www.autotrader.com/research/article/car-reviews/223306/2013-vs-2014-kia-optima-whats-the-difference.jsp |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 9:10pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
Fulaman198: I should say slight modifications, not redesign |

Fulaman198:Camry generation got 5 years in between, 2007 - 2012 while the current generation started in 2013, there is also nothing wrong in comparing a 2014 Camry to 2015 Kia as experts around the world make such comparison daily. |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 7:09am On Dec 17, 2014 |
chucky234: Sorry but that information is incorrect. Previously, Camry redesigned every 4 years not 5 (it has never been 5) for the past 12 years It's as follows Camry Generation 3: 1992 - 1996 Camry Generation 4: 1997 - 2001 Camry Generation 5: 2002 - 2006 Camry Generation 6: 2007 - 2011 Camry Generation 7: 2012 - 2014? (Unless the 2015 Model counts as a Gen 7.5 Camry) Camry Generation 7: 1 Like |

The Optima IMHO beats both past and future Camry models. |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Nobody: 4:44am On Dec 18, 2014 |
Optima, meanwhile we are not in 2015 yet. |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 5:23am On Dec 18, 2014 |
Bossforeva: We don't have to be in 2015, but 2015 models are already out. If you have a proxy, you can go to the United States Toyota website. |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 5:24am On Dec 18, 2014 |
Raymie: We haven't seen the future Camry only the past and the current 2015 Camry. I respect your opinion regardless though. I personally think the 2015 Camry looks better than the 2015 Optima. |

For those of you still stuck on viewing the Kia/Hyundai vehicles with the same eyes of 2000, una better shine your eyes wella because the 2010 and up cars are just as good if not better, in terms of value, than Honda/Toyota/Mazda. There's been a shift in the automotive landscape and who get ear go hear. |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 1:39am On Dec 19, 2014 |
Raymie: I don't know what's so hard to understand about this, the 2015 Camry is the current Camry, there is no future Camry unless you are talking about the 2016 and above Camry. The 2015 Camry was released in September of 2014 so it has been around for 3 months already. Stop calling what is current the future. 1 Like |

CityNG: Yah Kia and Hyundai are great brands these days no credit taken away from them. South Koreans build great products on par or sometimes even better than the Japanese. Kia's designer though since 2011/2012? was Audi's former designer. |

The comparison of these car on the example of 2014 Kia Optima and 2014 Toyota Camry Source: http://www.leekiaofgreenville.com/2014-Kia-Optima-compared-to-2014-Toyota-Camry.html ' With more available power, better handling and stopping, significantly better safety and warranty coverage, the only conclusion you can draw is that the Kia Optima is the better choice for you and your family than the Toyota Camry. Come by a Kia dealership in Eastern Carolina and test drive a Kia Optima for yourself. You'll be driving home in one of your very own before you know it! ' |
Re: Kia Optima Vs Toyota Camry by Fulaman198(m): 5:26pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
Export1: Of course a Kia dealership would say such a thing, who wouldn't say their products aren't better. However, Consumer Reports clearly ranks the Camry higher. |
