2017 Kia Optima Hybrid vs. 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid vs. 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid
If you're looking for a stylish hybrid sedan, then this is your Super Bowl. We have the 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid, the 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid and the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid to choose from, and these vehicles are here to demonstrate how they stand out from the gas-only models that bear the same name. For starters, we have the 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid, which gets 38 mpg highway and has a combined torque between its electric motor and gas engine of 199 lb.-ft. But the 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid has superior fuel economy and power, with 46 mpg highway and 271 lb.-ft. of torque, which saves you more money and gives you more get-up-and-go when you need to make lane changes or accelerate when traffic lights turn green, among other benefits. The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid has a slight edge in fuel economy at 47 mpg highway but also lags behind the 2017 Optima Hybrid with only 232 lb.-ft. of torque.
Now, let's look at the prices of the hybrids. While they all save the environment from harm by reducing tailpipe emissions, they don't all save you money in the same way. The 2017 Accord Hybrid's MSRP is nearly $30,000, while the 2017 Camry Hybrid's is nearly $27,000. A clear winner is the 2017 Optima Hybrid with a starting MSRP of less than $26,000.
