With the development of more advanced eco-friendly technologies in the auto industry, more and more hybrid models are becoming available including new makes and new model years. Deciding which model year of a hybrid to purchase then becomes more difficult having more options to choose from. Helping to simplify your hybrid car shopping process, at Frank Boucher Kia we're going to show you a comparison of the new 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid vs 2016 Kia Optima Hybrid.
One of the main differences in engineering made for the 2017 model year of the Kia Optima Hybrid is the sedan's engine and battery features. In the 2017 Optima Hybrid there is a slightly larger gas-powered engine that it paired with a battery that is more compact than the 2016 Optima hybrid's. Overall, these changes result in a higher combined fuel economy for the 2017 Optima Hybrid over the 2016 model.
