The Optima and Accord are very comparable cars that align in many ways. They come with similar sizes, prices, and engine specs, but the Optima takes the edge on standard technological features. Under the hood, the 2019 Optima comes standard with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder (I-4) engine powered by 185 horses. The EX model features a smaller, more efficient 1.6-liter I-4 engine with 178 horsepower. This engine allows drivers to average up to 37 highway mpg with the right driving conditions. The top-of-the-line SX Turbo comes with a, you guessed it, turbocharged engine. Those who want to get the most out of their engine performance will love the 2.0-liter I-4 engine with 245 horsepower that comes with the SX Turbo.
