What is the Kia Smart Trunk?

If you’ve seen someone use their Kia Smart Trunk, you might just be thinking, “Huh? A Kia trunk that opens by itself?” With the Kia Smart Trunk on the Kia Optima and other new models, you simply have to stand near the back of your vehicle, and your Kia Smart Trunk will open up for you — hands-free! This is just one of many advanced convenience features available to make your everyday drives just a bit easier. Learn more about how to use this exceptional convenience feature with the team at Kia Delray.
