As a carryover from the 2015 model year, the 2016 Optima Hybrid continues to offer all the qualities that consumers love about the third-generation Optima, including its striking European design, abundance of premium features, and exceptional value, all while enhancing fuel economy with a fuel-sipping hybrid powertrain that helps minimize visits to the pump.

Available in two well-appointed trim levels – Hybrid and Hybrid EX – the 2016 Optima Hybrid benefits from a 2.4-liter engine that works in conjunction with a 47-horsepower electric motor to produce a combined 199 horsepower and 235 lb.-ft. of torque. Supplying the electric motor is a powerful 47 kW lithium polymer battery, while a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission transfers all the power to the Optima Hybrid’s front wheels. While there is plenty of power, it’s also fuel efficient, with the Optima Hybrid has EPA-estimated 36 MPG in the city, 40 MPG on the highway, and 38 MPG combined, with the Hybrid EX has EPA-estimated 35 MPG in the city, 39 MPG on the highway, and 37 MPG combined.

The 2016 Optima Hybrid features unique exterior elements that enhance aerodynamics and help set it apart. The Optima Hybrid has additional vents on the front bumper to increase airflow and reduce drag. Low rolling resistance tires are mounted to 16-inch alloy wheels or super low rolling resistance tires are mounted to 17-inch alloy wheels (depending on trim) to help reduce weight and drag. The front grille is also unique as are Hybrid-exclusive fender badges, and certain components make extensive use of aluminum instead of steel to help offset the weight of the battery.

Hybrid Convenience Package Седан KIA Optima 4 обзавелся версией HybridСедан Kia Optima 4 поколения получил гибридную версию, о разработке которой корейцы сообщили в сентябре 2015-го на Франкфуртском автосалоне, где посетителям был представлен обычный вариант модели. Гибридная Оптима получила другие бампера, колесные диски уникального дизайна, а также особую решетку радиатора. Последняя имеет активные заслонки, которые закрываются на высоких скоростях, тем самым улучшая аэродинамику автомобиля и повышая его топливную эффективность.
Силовая установка гибридного седана Kia Optima Hybrid (2016-2017) состоит из 2,0-литровой бензиновой «четверки» (156 л.с.), 52-сильного электромотора и комплекта литий-полимерных аккумуляторов емкостью 1,62 кВтч. Трансмиссия — шестиступенчатый автомат. Сначала Киа Оптима Гибрид дебютирует на южно-корейском рынке. У европейских же дилеров марки автомобиль стоит ожидать в 2016 году.
