Kia Motors has unveiled the all new Optima Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) at the Chicago Auto Show, introduced under the Kia Motors EcoDynamics environmentally friendly sub-brand. A host of new technologies and features in the Kia Optima PHEV, including a more powerful hybrid engine, a smarter and more robust telematics system, exterior design enhancements, and greater interior refinement, all combine to deliver a superior hybrid drive experience.
Engineered with a dual focus on efficiency and driving dynamics, the Optima PHEV utilises Kia's highly efficient 2.0-litre 'Nu' four-cylinder GDI engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Electric power is produced by a transmission-mounted 67bhp motor, allowing for greater all-electric capability.
The Optima PHEV has an estimated 966km combined driving range, and is estimated to achieve 43km in full EV mode, placing the Optima PHEV among the segment leaders in all-electric range.
The Optima PHEV is crafted with many of the same luxurious appointments of its petrol-powered sibling, along with numerous Hybrid-exclusive touches, including a distinctive instrument cluster and unique exterior design elements and specially designed alloy wheels. The Optima PHEV will be built at Hwasung, South Korea, and is expected to go on sale in the fourth quarter of this year.
