The 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid is part of the vehicle's second generation. It comes equipped with a 2.4-L, 4 cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 199 horsepower. The vehicle comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Despite its midsize sedan segment, it’s known for its sporty exterior and quality interior. Its key safety features include ABS, traction and stability control, front and rear side airbags, and full length curtain-type airbags. The Optima Hybrid comes with heated and cooled front seats, a navigation system, and a panoramic sunroof in its premium package. Tech features include an 8-inch touchscreen display, rearview camera, Bluetooth, and an Infinity audio system. Its improvements over the previous year include more trunk space due to a battery pack reshuffle and a significant increase in fuel efficiency, averaging around 36/40 mpg city/highway.
