For your 2018 Kia Optima you'd want to go with a hitch mounted bike rack as they provide the most solid attachment, are the easiest to load, and don't touch any painted surfaces. You'd need a trailer hitch first like part # 24965 which is a confirmed fit.

For a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR.

This is a platform bike rack that only weighs 20 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both worlds. The preferred attachment style with the lighter weight.
