Are you looking for a dependable hybrid that won't disappoint you with its performance? If so, your search can stop with the record-setting Kia Optima Hybrid. The 2013 edition of this sporty, eco-friendly vehicle has a number of improvements over last year's version, and they have everyone here at Barnett Kia very excited.
All it takes is a test drive to fully appreciate and understand what this updated hybrid brings to the new Kia lineup. The biggest change is its new 47-horsepower electric motor and a more powerful hybrid starter generator and battery pack, a combo that gives it a lot more oomph than you'd expect from a typical hybrid.
Let's talk a little more about fuel economy. The aforementioned power system allows this sedan to get an EPA-estimated 36 miles per gallon in the city, 40 on the highway and 38 combined. With numbers like this, visits to the gas station will be few and far between.
The vehicle also went through a slight makeover, and with just a few tweaks, the Optima Hybrid is better than ever. Thanks to its smaller (but no less powerful) battery, trunk size has increased, and more features are now available with the EX trim, including an 8-speaker Infinity audio system and an accident-reducing back-up camera.
