Breaking New Grounds in Efficiency

 

In the grand scheme of things, hybrid powertrains are still a relatively new technology.  The 2016 Kia Optima Hybrid Chicago shows how these powertrains are getting revolutionized yet again.  Pairing the electric motor to the 2.4L four cylinder engine, your driving dictates how the system balances power output.  Not only is this an incredibly fuel efficient vehicle, the power numbers are nothing to shrug off.  199hp and 235 lb-ft of torque make the Optima hybrid a truly invigorating drive.

 

The fuel efficiency is the traditional draw of hybrid engines, and the 2016 Kia Optima Hybrid Chicago delivers here as well.  In LX trim, Chicago drivers are treated to 36mpg city/40 mpg highway fuel economy ratings.  As mentioned before, this isn't a slouch when it comes to performance--235lb-ft of torque is a lot of twisting power.  But the refinement of the Optima Hybrid's powertrain allow it to seamlessly balance both aspects.
