Used 2020 Kia Optima Hybrid Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Kia Optima Hybrid is a five-passenger midsize sedan powered by the combination of an electric motor and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Together they make 192 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque and put power to the road through a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The Optima Hybrid comes well-equipped with standard features, but there is one available package to dress up the Kia even further. There is also an Optima Plug-In Hybrid, reviewed separately.

Only one trim level is available, the EX, and it comes with a shedload of standard features. Highlights include leather seating, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Uvo 8-inch touchscreen tech interface, wireless device charging, push-button ignition, and a comprehensive suite of driver aids (forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control, among others).

The Technology package adds items such as larger wheels, LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof, and sound-reducing side windows. Inside, there's an upgraded Harman Kardon stereo system, a navigation system, ventilated front seats and additional driver aids.

Which Optima Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

With just one trim level available, the EX is an easy recommendation. But we also like the extra features that come with the Technology package, such as a panoramic sunroof, 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat, upgraded Harman Kardon sound system and navigation system. Even with these extra luxury and tech items, the Optima Hybrid is still competitively priced.
