I had a 2012 OPTIMA SX before and it was super quiet and a smooth ride. I missed it and I looked for a newer Optima and ended up with a 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid Premium. It is also super quiet and a smooth ride but with over 40 mpg and modern features like Sirius, blind spot detection, Android Auto, Apple Car play. 2017 was the year when the Optima changed to most if not all of the current features.

You get a lot of features on this model. Throw in the excellent mpg on the hybrid model and this vehicle is a great buy.
