The final decision came in at $26,500 for the base model, which comes with comparable equipment to the standard Optima LX A/T trim level, but adds features such as eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, dual zone automatic temperature control with rear vents, push-button start with smart key, Supervision meter cluster with LCD display, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, one-touch automatic up/down on front windows, chrome interior door handles, glove box illumination, rear reading lamps, and fixed rear seats with ski pass-through.
Should customers seek more luxury and technology in their Optima Hybrid, the available Premium Technology Package can be checked off on the ordering box for $5,000. This package adds a panoramic sunroof, a unique 17-inch alloy wheel design, four-way power adjustable front passenger's seat, driver's seat memory, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats and steering wheel, HID headlamps with automatic leveling, leatherette-wrapped center fascia, auto-dimming rear-view mirror with Homelink and compass, a navigation system with back-up camera and SIRIUS Traffic and an eight-speaker Infinity 10 audio system (these available features replace the UVO system).
Look for the first examples of the Kia Optima Hybrid to hit dealer lots next month.
