Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid

What it says about you

Opinion

A plug-in version of the handsome Kia saloon, sold quietly. You did the tax-credit arithmetic.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

NHTSA does not file this car separately. Complaints about the Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid are recorded against the Kia Optima, so there is no fault record here that belongs to this car alone — we checked, and the two came back 95% identical. Rather than show you the Kia Optima's numbers under this name, this page shows what is genuinely specific to it. The record itself is on the Kia Optima page.
