Each has a variety of trim packages focused on improving the style and performance of the Optima line. If you are interested in the Kia Optima, here are some highlights to help you determine which 2017 Kia Optima is right for you.
2017 Kia Optima
The 2017 Kia Optima is likely the most popular version available. Over the years, the Optima line provided drivers with reliable, stylish, and affordable cars that meet their needs in new ways. For 2017, Kia is updating the navigation and other interior technologies. The Optima also has a redefined engine for better performance. Several upgraded versions are available, all of which maintain affordable prices while adding new style features in different trim packages.
All of the new Kia Optima models retain much of their traditional styling. Slight changes were made to the exterior, and more body modifications are available in different trim packages. The biggest changes are on the inside, where Kia added new technologies and updated the old ones to be the latest versions of what is available.
2017 Kia Optima Hybrid
For the last several years, the Kia Optima has had a hybrid version available that has been well received by drivers. Kia is using its developments in hybrid technology to improve its driving distance and performance. The new battery and hybrid engine make the 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid more efficient. With the addition of the new DCT transmission, the Kia Optima can drive efficiently in gas or electric modes to extend its range without sacrificing performance.
2017 Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid
New to the Optima line is the 2017 Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid which combines the efficiency of an electric vehicle with the performance of a gas vehicle. Unlike the Optima Hybrid, the Optima Plug-in Hybrid can be charged by plugging it in, allowing you better control over the charging process. It can be charged in places with the appropriate equipment including at home or any equipped fuel station.
One of the best features about the Kia Optima Plug-in Hybrid is that you can monitor its charging progress and performance using the associated Kia app. This lets you keep an eye on your vehicle while you’re away and plan your trips better by knowing when your car is ready to travel. It also includes other features like the ability to lock your car remotely.
Kia is consistently a leader in developing new technologies that allow drivers to experience the best performance available. Kia integrated many of the features that it developed in other projects into the Optima line, adding value to an already affordable option. With the addition of the new Plug-in Hybrid and the updates to the Hybrid and Optima, there is a model of the Optima for everyone.
