The 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid Will Help You Cut Down Your Gas Bill

When drivers come to our 4Waukgena Kia dealership in Illinois looking for a new vehicle, fuel economy is one of their key criteria in selecting which model is right for them. With gas prices as high as they are these days, Classic Kia can’t blame them. If fuel economy is important to you, consider the 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid in Waukegan at our dealership.

 

The 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid features the same cutting-edge design as the standard 2014 Kia Optima. Between the two models, the biggest difference is what is under the hood.

 

In order to be a hybrid car, a vehicle combines a standard gasoline engine with an alternative energy motor. For the 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid, that means a 2.4L four-cylinder gasoline engine that is paired with an electric motor. While you will still need to gas up the sedan from time to time, there is no need to plug in the vehicle to take advantage of the electric motor.

 

With the two power sources, the model features an output of 199 horsepower and a beefy 235 lb-ft of torque. That is enough juice to take the sedan from zero to 60 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds.

 

What is even better about using the hybrid powertrain is fuel economy. 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid EX models are rated at an efficient 35 miles per gallon city and 39 miles per gallon on the highway. Those numbers increase slightly to 36 miles per gallon city and 40 miles per gallon highway with the 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid LX.
