2013 Kia Optima Hybrid vs. 2012 Honda Accord Sedan

 Style, Fuel Economy, and Power all Meet in the 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid

How is it possible to combine style, value, and fuel economy all in one vehicle?  You can find it all in the 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid available for Iowa City drivers at McGrath Kia in Hiawatha. While many sedans in the same class, like the 2012 Honda Accord, tend to cut corners to save money, the 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid stands out by illustrating that you don't have to sacrifice style, power, or fuel economy when searching for your next family sedan.

Powertrain and Fuel Efficiency

 But don't think that just because you're driving a fuel-efficient hybrid that means you have to sacrifice pep and pickup; the 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid's 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with its electric motor can still blow your hair back with 206 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. 

Interior Design

Iowa City drivers won't just fall in love with the 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid for its power and fuel economy, but they'll be amazed at the opulence of its interior. While the Honda Accord sedan's interior can definitely be described as plain and basic, the Kia Optima Hybrid's interior feels strikingly European with high-end materials and less hard plastic accents.

Features

Plus, you can't get Kia's Microsoft powered UVO infotainment system in an Accord - in fact, you won't find anything like it in a Honda. The 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid also includes keyless entry, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface, and rearview camera; in order to get package even remotely close in the Accord you'd have to upgrade to the top trim level.
