Helpful Expert Reply:
I doubled checked with the Yakima fit guide and The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack # Y02638 is a confirmed fit your 2013 Kia Optima.
You may find that you may need a bike rack adapter bar like part # Y02531 if you are using the bike rack for a women's bike, since the women's bike frame can be very slanted. The adapter bar would allow a women's bike to sit level on the rack by creating a straight top bar between the handle bars and the seat.
For a carrier with a 3 bike capacity with your vehicle, I recommend the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT. This rack has a weight capacity of 105 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of the carrier for you to check out.
