Kia seems to extending its market around the world. For that purpose, recently, Kia has unveiled its Kia Optima Hybrid. This car will have its cost from under $26,000. Korean carmakers currently reveals some alterations intended for 2013 model year car, to keep this car up to date.
The Koreans carmaker has claimed that the altered car now is more “performance-driven” and also fuel efficient regardless of the fact that its overall power figure is now down from the previous model’s 206hp to 199hp. On the other hands, because of a latest revised 47hp electric motor, the torque is up from 195 to 235 lb-ft, that makes this car more responsive in every-day driving performance.
In addition, this 2013 Optima Hybrid is also expected a bit more efficient than the previous model, to achieve 36mpg in the city, 40mpg on the highway and for a combined overall rating of 38mpg. Furthermore, it will also contain more trunk space than the previous model, in spite of having no exterior body changes. This has been now achieved with the fitting of a more compact Lithium Polymer battery that benefits from the better packaging techniques.
You can also find a latest set of more aerodynamic rims that come as standard (16inch on the base model and 17inch on the EX model). In addition, it also will ride lower than before in an attempt to lessen drag.
Fortunately, buyers now can specify a great panoramic glass roof, a reversing camera, a great 8-speaker infinity audio system and also the heated and cooled leather front seats.
