Boasting an eco-friendly nature not found on its standard gas-sipping engine cousin at your Wichita Kia dealer, the Optima Hybrid is a better choice the environment as well as your wallet.

High-powered & High-efficiency

Kia engineers found a way to boost efficiency without sacrificing power. In fact, the new 2.0-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine brings a more-than-capable 192 horsepower combined between the gas engine and electric motor. And with a combined 271-pounds-per-feet of torque, the latest Kia Optima Hybrid provides plenty of passing power for life in the fast lane.

Oh, but this baby purrs with money-saving fuel economy. The 2017 Optima Hybrid will stretch out up to 46 miles per gallon on the highway and 39 mpg in the city with an EPA-estimated range of up to 665 total miles between refueling.

A Technological Wonder

In case you’re curious as to how this whole thing works, the ’17 Kia Optima Hybrid uses an electric traction motor powered by a lithium polymer battery as well as a 4-cylinder gas engine. Driving situations and conditions will determine which is in use. Sometimes both will run simultaneously.

Electric power is used to start your Optima and remains active during lower speeds. The gas engine will kick in for acceleration and for driving on the highway or the open road.

Even stopping is eco-centric with this cool car! When you apply the brakes, captured kinetic heat energy is converted into electrical energy and recharges the electric motor’s batteries. How cool is that?

So why hold out any longer? Visit Midwest Kia in Wichita today and test drive the all-new 2017 Kia Optima hybrid. You’ll be reducing emissions and reducing impact on your budget when you drive it home.
