Powertrain and Efficiency
The hybrid version of the 2013 Optima is powered by a combination of an electric motor and a 2.4L four-cylinder gasoline engine. The combined output of this hybrid system is 206 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. The electric motor becomes active at low speeds when the gasoline engine is not needed to save fuel and also provides a boost to acceleration when activated in conjunction with the four-cylinder.
The Optima Hybrid's computer will automatically shift between these different driving modes in order to maximize efficiency. As with most hybrids, the Optima model uses regenerative braking and power form the engine to recharge the batteries for the electric motor. When all is said and done these innovative technologies add up to some impressive EPA mileage estimates.
