Benefits of the Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid

We already know the Kia Optima is a great car. Its size and dependability have satisfied drivers in recent years, but what could make it better? How about not using gasoline? But wait, how is that possible? If you didn’t know, the Kia Optima comes in a plug-in hybrid model. Plug-in hybrid cars can drive at extended distances using just electricity, which is what separates them from traditional hybrids.

Reasons to own a Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid

If you’re looking at hybrid cars in the first place, one of your main concerns is probably efficiency. There are no vehicles known to humans more efficient than plug-in electric hybrid cars. And that segues into our list of three reasons to own a Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid. 

1.) Efficiency 

Yes, we’re going to keep hammering away at this. Plug-ins can’t really be measured in terms of MPG, but they are instead measured by electric range and MPGe. The Kia Optima Plug-in averages and EPA-estimated MPGe rating of 103, which more than doubles most standard hybrid cars’ MPG ratings. 

2.) Style 

A lot of consumers have the predisposition that hybrid and electric cars stick out like sore thumbs and just don’t look right. Some are uniquely shaped and designed, but the Optima Plug-in offers the same, traditional look while maintaining a stylish body and interior. Don’t worry, you won’t be driving something people might make fun of or anything. 

3.) Safety 

Kia integrated every advanced safety feature it could into this plug-in hybrid design. With Iso-Structure™ construction that features 53% advanced, high-strength steel, this car is as safe as any. Protection doesn’t cease there. Front, seat-mounted side-curtain, and driver’s knee-height airbags are ready to deploy, although we hope they never need to. 

There are more reasons to buy the 2017 Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid, but we just can’t fit them all into this blog post. Contact us today if you have additional questions!
