Kia Optima 2.4 Si v Subaru Liberty 2.5i Premium Comparison

Mid-sized sedans really do get a bad rap these days. Not so long ago, a Subaru Liberty was a genuinely cool family sedan with badge cred, not to mention the cache of a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. Around that same time, you can assume theKia Optima (if available) would have been a stylish alternative to the usual fare. Now though, the rush to SUVs has left the medium sedan segment trampled and unloved, much like an old laptop. The times, they are a-changin’…

In the shadow of that rabid SUV stampede though, and perhaps in spite of it, we’ve brought two compelling value stories within the medium sedan segment together to duke it out. The 2016 Subaru Liberty 2.5i Premium, and 2016 Kia Optima 2.4 Si are both sharply priced, generously proportioned and a none-too-subtle reminder of why Australians had such a long-running love affair with mid-sized sedans.
