When you're in the market for an affordable, fuel efficient, and eco-friendly vehicle but not sure which model fits your lifestyle the best, consider one of these three hybrids available from Kia. Optima Hybrid Power and Performance When you blend classic style with elegance, the result is the 2020 Optima Hybrid fitted with a 2.0-liter GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine supported by a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The high-density lithium polymer battery in the current model has significantly improved over the prior generation, delivering an increase of 19 percent to power and 13 percent more energy. Regenerative braking provides on-going support by charging the battery each time the hybrid decelerates. Driver-Assisted Technology Convenience features are part of the hybrid's likeability. These include an 8-inch rear-view monitor fitted with dynamic parking guidance, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, blind spot collision warning, smart cruise control with stop and go, and driver attention warning. Optima Plug-in Power and Performance Like the hybrid, the Optima Plug-in is designed with efficiency in mind. The stylish sedan operates on a full parallel hybrid system, providing an impressive 202 combined drivetrain horsepower at 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) and 101 miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent (MPGe). The plug-in is equipped with an interior-permanent magnet synchronous motor and a gasoline direct injection engine. more Interior The Optima Plug-in offers comfort, convenience, and entertainment features, such as heated front seats, a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat with 4-way power lumbar support, an UVO link with an 8-inch touch screen display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an Harman Kardon QuantumLogic surround sound audio system.

Using a 240-volt power outlet, the plug-in's high capacity battery recharges in about two and a half hours. Using a 120-volt household outlet, the system takes about nine hours to recharge. Safety Features Safety features enhance driving capability, and the Optima Hybrid, Optima Plug-in, and Niro Plug-in each provide plenty of passenger and vehicle coverage. The hybrid has dual front advanced air bags, dual front seat-mounted side air bags, a driver's knee air bag, front seatbelt pretensioners, and lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH).

The 2021 Kia Optima is set to return for a fifth-generation run with a look that's certified fresh. Exact plans for the midsize sedan have yet to be revealed in full, but we do know some things about what's to be expected, including major design tweaks, updated performance specs, and a Telluride-inspired dashboard. Here's what you can anticipate for the 2021 Kia Optima as we await its official U.S. debut. A Redesigned Image It's tough to map out exactly what's new and improved on the Kia Optima since prototypes of the sedan tend to be camouflaged. However, it's reported to have a few design elements adopted from fellow Kia models. The Optima's tapered, tiger-nose front grille and wraparound taillights are a signature staple of the Stinger. Meanwhile, the sloping headlights closely resemble those found on the European Ceed hatchback. What else can we expect? Refreshing sporty accents to build on this already edgy ensemble. You'll notice an updated front and rear fascia with sleek bumper layout. You'll also notice that the side mirrors hang slightly lower than before. This helps eliminate wind noise and gives the sedan a slight aerodynamic boost. Finally, an LED taillight bar extends across the back of the vehicle, preparing us for a truly bold finish. more A Dedicated Powertrain The all-new Kia Optima feels great on the road, and there are plenty of features that help it achieve such performance. The current 2019 model gets signature specs such as high-performance dampers and all-wheel drive. These are almost certain to reappear in the 2021 model as well, along with some interesting extras that make the Optima look even cooler. A 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder sets the stage for us. It pairs with either a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission or an eight-speed automatic. The second option is a 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder mated to an eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic. Revving up the engine is expected to give you more than 280 horsepower in return. An Eye-Catching Interior If you're shopping for a Kia that looks great on the inside as it does on the outside, the all-new Optima is a nice fit. The sedan boasts a wide dashboard with user-friendly controls that slant several degrees toward the driver's side for easier access. At the center of it all is an innovative infotainment system with color touch screen. You can use it to unlock features such as Bluetooth audio streaming, voice-command navigation, and SiriusXM satellite radio. This entire setup is similar to what's found in the 2020 Kia Telluride, and while it's unclear if the Optima will add the Telluride's available 10.25-inch display, we can safely assume the former will get a screen that's at least 8 inches wide. There are also a handful of features in the 2019 Optima we may see again for the upcoming model year. These options range from a power driver's seat with adjustable settings and lumbar support to available carpeted mats for the floor and trunk. With the 2021 Kia Optima in talks to debut as early as this September, it's clear we won't have to wait too long to find out more about its impressive redesign. What features on the Optima are you most excited to see?

Like most car shoppers, you hear things about this different automakers. There could be some valid information there, but not everything said on the street is true. Kia cars have been showing up on American lots for more than 20 years, and they're distinctly different than the competition. Keep reading to learn three common myths people have about the Kia brand and how we debunked them. Affordable Cars Aren't Innovative Kia is one of the most affordable brands, but it still manages to load its cars with all the latest gadgets. Take a look at the 2018 Niro FE, for example. This stylish crossover touts a 7-inch color touchscreen loaded with Kia's UVO connectivity for only $23,340. Wirelessly charge your phone while it plays your favorite tunes through Kia's Clari-Fi technology, and revel in concert quality sound. All UVO equipped Kia vehicles feature push-button roadside assistance and 911 Connect that calls for emergency services if the airbags deploy. UVO's advanced voice recognition lets you make calls, while curfew, speed, and zone alerts help parents keep track of new drivers. From vehicle diagnostics to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, budget-minded buyers love Kia's innovations. more They Are Unreliable J.D. Power and Associates ranked Kia highest among brands for overall initial quality — three years in a row. Its highest-ranking models in their respective segments for the 2017 model year include the Cadenza family sedan, the compact Forte, the eco-friendly Niro crossover, the versatile Sorento SUV, and the funky fresh Soul. That's six award-winning, reliable Kias, according to the experts over at our trusted source for car ratings. Not that we're counting. Even the brand-new, luxurious and athletic Stinger already boasts an above-average predicted reliability rating. U.S. News and World Reports picked Kia as one of their top 10 most reliable cars in January, and also named the Kia Soul its 2017 best compact car for the money. That sounds pretty reliable to us. If you need more proof, Consumer Reports ranked the 2017 Kia Niro third overall with an average predicted reliability score of 71. They Won't Last Every new Kia — yes, especially those at Gunther Kia's showroom — offer buyers an industry-leading 10-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. What automaker would extend its protection plan that long if it wasn't confident your new car is going to last? One satisfied Kia owner on CarGurus.com reported his faithful 2007 Kia Sportage racked up 188,640 miles and was still going strong after nine years of service. Other owners declared their Sportage reached over 283,000 miles. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to consider that extended warranty. The keys to your new Kia might take up residence in your pocket until your grandkids are old enough to drive it. Everyone has that friend of a friend that's a car expert. They're always ready to hand out that unsolicited advice about what automaker's badge to park in your garage. Look at the facts and make up your own mind about Kia.
