Overview
The 2019 Kia Optima Hybrid fares well in the midsize sedan segment. Adding $1200 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Optima Hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $28,090 and is offered in a single trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.0L inline-4 engine supported by a 38kW electric motor. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, it makes 192 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 27 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 41 MPG, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Optima Hybrid also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.6 seconds. Kia offers the same 8 colors for the Optima Hybrid.
