2017 KiaOptima Hybrid Base For Sale

I just purchased my fourth vehicle at Hanson, now Gee Subaru-Kia and highly recommend them to anyone searching for a vehicle. The sales staff and those assisting us in finance, paperwork, etc. were cordial, informative, and fair, particularly so in our most recent transaction at Olympia Kia. Thank you Mateo, Jason, and Sean!

I love this car and would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a 2018 Optima Hybrid EX without the tech package. I have a pearly white car with the white "leather" interior and its absolutely beautiful! I'm a big interior guy; the interior better be comfortable, dependable, and functional since that is where my behind will be. I feel the interior is beautiful and wonderful to sit inside of with the color scheme I chose. There are many soft-touch materials and everything is well laid out. Of all the vehicle's I've owned, this is the best car I've ever had...EVER. Everything works great in this vehicle. I live in Arizona and the A/C blows hard and cold each and every time I drive the car (I LOVE THIS btw!!!!). The Android Auto has worked flawlessly and the car has never given me one problem EVER! I obtain an average of 45 MPG on the highway and I drive about 20K miles a year in some of the most extreme climates. I use only full-synthetic oil and change my air filters regularly (by my own doing, not by the stealership's high cost). I have not had a single warranty repair to my car yet. Despite my love for this vehicle, there are three improvements I can suggest. First, the driving position could be more comfortable. I'm 6'00" tall and find that I cannot position the steering wheel and my seating position in a way where I can drive the car with only one hand. The sculpting on the door is either too deep, or the steering wheel has limited adjustment which prevents me from being able to comfortably rest my elbow on a soft surface while holding onto the steering wheel with one hand. I have fixed this by planting my left foot on the ground, thereby flexing my left knee at a 90 degree position where I can rest my arm on my leg and hold the wheel comfortably. Overall, it's not a huge problem but it can get annoying for long drives. Second, I wish there was more sound-proofing added to the vehicle. It's a hybrid car and not a sports car or luxury sedan. Instead of trying to land in the middle of the two, I wish KIA would flex more toward a luxury vehicle with the sound dampening material. I do have the upgraded Harmon-Kardon sound-system and it's GREAT! However, I wish the road noise was less pronounced. My third, and last complaint, has to do with the headlights. KIA, PLEASE MAKE HID OR LED HEADLIGHTS STANDARD to your vehicles. I drive about 53 miles round trip each day. 26 of those miles are done at night, on baron desert roads with with wildlife crossing the road at random points. Standard HID or LED lights alone would make this vehicle the perfect car. Fuel economy is pretty spectacular in my opinion; I average 45 MPG combined hwy/city driving. My worst fuel economy numbers are at extreme temperatures which is below 35 degrees or above 105 degrees (highest so far was 120 degrees at 38 mpg). Overall, I'd recommend this car to any one of my friends or family who want a semi-luxury vehicle with great fuel economy at a solid price point. Good Job Kia!

This car is excellent in every way. In 2019, I averaged 81.54 MPG over the course of the year. Every use case is different, but for my purposes in East Central Indiana it has been exemplary. The winter months see this vehicle a bit less efficient than in the summer months when electric A/C does all the work of maintaining cabin temperatures. I regularly see 32 miles on EV mode from a full charge before the car switches to hybrid mode.
