Overview
Cars like the 2020 Kia Optima Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Optima Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and a single motor hybrid system and a 1.76-kWh battery to produce 192 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Optima Hybrid a 0-60 of 7.6 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2020 Optima Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 42 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the Optima Hybrid competes with the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Ford Fusion Hybrid, and the Honda Accord Hybrid. It offers standalone trim that carries an MSRP of $29,310.
