Explore the Benefits of the 2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid

There's a new Optima model coming to the table and, whether you're looking to get on the greener side of the automotive fence or you've been there for a long time already, it's sure to put a smile on your face. It's the 2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid and this all-new eco-friendly machine is set to offer you the same incredible styling of the standard Optima with all the benefits of a rechargeable hybrid battery. We welcome all drivers from the Wilmington, West Chester, Dover, Newark DE, and Elkton MD areas to take a look and see why it deserves a spot in your driveway.

Style and Design

 

With an aerodynamic form and function not unlike its standard sibling, the 2017 Optima Plug-In Hybrid offers distinctive exterior elements that keep it unique. The active grille up front opens and closes depending on your speed to keep the engine cool or to increase efficiency, and the front air curtain and beveled rear bumper are new to this model. Add modern LED lighting, chrome accents, and the Eco Plug-In badging, and you have an Optima that's wholly different than anything you've seen before.

Convenience and Safety

The Optima Plug-In Hybrid makes full use of many driver assistance features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Advanced Smart Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and more to ensure you have eyes out in all directions to keep you safe. Of course, there are many convenience technologies as well, such as a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, remote start/stop, LTE wireless connectivity, and more to keep you smiling all trip long.

Performance and Efficiency

 

Of course, the biggest draw of the 2017 Optima Plug-In Hybrid is the eco-friendliness and efficiency it offers. The automaker's highly efficiency 2.0-liter "Nu" four-cylinder engine is combined with a transmission-mounted 50 kW motor that provides seamless transitioning between gasoline, hybrid, and EV driving modes. This engine can put out 154 horsepower and, with an estimated 600 mile driving range (with a full 27 mile range in full EV mode), you can be sure that you'll pass the fuel pumps more than ever and have the muscle needed to never be left in the dust.
