A new generation of the Optima is on the way and it will share its architecture with the freshly redesigned Hyundai Sonata. In the meantime, the 2020 edition boasts a simplified model lineup through the elimination of a few trim levels and the 245-horsepower turbo engine. The naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine rated at 185 horsepower and the hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants offering 192 horsepower all remain, however. The last one has an EV range of 47 kilometres.
