Inside, the cabin features a driver-focused design with high-quality materials and well-appointed features, including a touchscreen infotainment system and available leather upholstery. The Optima TF's strong performance is attributed to a range of engine options, including a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, and a 2.4-liter hybrid powertrain. All models offer a comfortable and refined ride, paired with responsive handling and a well-insulated cabin.
