Kia isn’t pulling any punches with its Optima midsize sedan and is offering several different drivetrains. Besides two gas engines—one naturally aspirated, the other a turbo—the Optima offers a hybrid version (2.0L four cylinder and electric motor totalling 192 horsepower) and a plug-in hybrid (same gas engine and a more-powerful electric motor for a total of 202 horsepower) with an EV range of approximately 47 kilometres.
