automakers are stuck between a rock and
hard place with hybrid vehicles on one
hand efficient I'm birds are a necessary
evil for lack of a better phrase to get
increasingly stringent cafe standards
but on the other hand low fuel prices
mean it takes an increasingly long time
for consumers to see a return on the
investment of hybrids price premium
these factors have pushed automakers
even harder to squeeze every mile per
gallon possible out there hybrid
offerings that's inevitably led to
powertrain innovations designed to
maximize just how long and how far
hybrids can run on curing electric power
and how often the gas engine can shut
down occasionally this doesn't work out
all that well as is the case with the
new nissan rogue hybrid for instance but
there are companies getting things right
Pia with its 2017 optima hybrid is one
of them drive notes1 he didn't try to
get too creative with the optima hybrid
powertrain for 2017 there's a 2 dot 0
leader naturally aspirated four-cylinder
gas engine of 38 killer would electric
motor and the 1.6 to kilowatt hour
battery pack
total system output is 192 horsepower
and 270 one pound feet of torque with
epa-estimated fuel economy ratings of 39
miles per gallon in the city in 46 miles
per gallon on the highway for a 42 miles
per gallon combined rating that's all
snippy to but taking a six-speed
automatic and replacing the torque
converter with the clutching the
electric motor
he built a hybrid sedan that smoothly
intertwines disparate power sources as
well as a conventional hybrid like a
Toyota Prius while allowing the optima
hybrid to take greater advantage of zero
emissions systems lift off the throttle
and the four-cylinder engine shuts down
in that's the 50 horsepower electric
motor handle life constant throttle
cruising below 62 miles per hour
dig deeper into the gas and the pedal
power plant quickly restarts and
delivers the bulk of the optimist power
for heavy acceleration and higher speed
conditions the optimist back and forth
is rarely disjointed he used hybrid
feels a lot like it's conventionally
powered model in normal driving it's
only under southern wide open throttle
situations where the hybrid systems feel
caught off-guard that the optima hybrid
feels flat-footed
three a less obvious benefit of the
six-speed automatic of course is that it
leads to quieter operation there's no
rubber band like revving like you would
get with the cpt because the
transmission can actually shift up a
gear now the optimum is to dot 0 leader
doesn't sound back we wouldn't complain
about the noise that there was a CVT
here but the lack of noise is a pleasant
side effect of the six-speed daughters
for the actual power on offer
meanwhile falls somewhere between that
of a base often mind the turbocharged sx
unsurprisingly there's a lot more
low-end torque going to the electric
motor the optima hybrid field snappier
than the base 2 dot for leader optima
but it made at higher rpm and simply
does it feel as potent as the two dot 0
litre turbocharged car five hour train
tweaks aside the optima hybrid drives
and handles largely like it's gas only
counterpart that's to say the steering
is light and pleasant but doesn't do a
great job transmitting finer road detail
to the drivers hands
the ride is heavily biased towards
comfort a mazda 6 system but it feels
perfectly average in a turn with
predictable levels of Bonnie roll squat
and died
six like with previous optima hybrid key
accrued major elements from the hyundai
sonata hybrid while the powertrain is
the most obvious carry over the optimal
shares the same impressively low
coefficient of drag as the Hyundai
despite the obviously different sheet
metal the big addition is active grille
shutters but changes to the front and
rear fashions and more aerodynamic
wheels all have a positive impact on how
the optimist cuts through the air 7ki
optimize the exterior of aerodynamics
but the optima hybrid cabin is largely
unchanged same clean but conservative
dash and quick material quality and
comfortable seats
the main thing you're losing out on with
the hybrid at least in the cabin is the
gas-powered sx limited upgraded interior
trim like the lovely quilted leather
seats keep that in mind if you're an
upholstery snob eight in the inevitable
comparison of fuel economy the optima
hybrid score as well for highway drivers
it's 46 mile per gallon highway rating
is 5 above the ford fusion hybrid it's
aight above the toyota camry hybrids and
only one behind the new honda accord
hybrids things aren't as rosy for the
optima hybrid in the city it's 39 mile
per gallon city rating is down for on
the Ford three on the camry and eight on
the accord the optimist 42 miles per
gallon combined rating wins out against
the 40 mile per gallon toyota times the
Ford and his six points behind the honda
nine prices for the base optima hybrid
premium start at 26,000 845 dollars
that's 3855 dollars more than the gas on
the optima LX or the equivalent of 1760
gallons of gas at today's triple a
national average two dollars and
twenty-six cents per gallon of 87 octane
that works out to about 180 feelings of
the optima hybrid 15 dot 85 gallon fuel
tank assuming the owner Nets the cars 46
mile per gallon highway rating their 729
miles to a tank at 12,000 miles per year
owners would only refuel 16.4 times in
other words you need to drive for just
over six and a half years before seeing
a return on the purchase of an optima
hybrid premium with the optima hybrid
exes 5850 dollars premium over the
gas-powered x the range-topping hybrid
is an even tougher purchase to justify
so no the optima hybrid does not make
good financial sense right now but not
only can we make the same argument
against the competition from Ford Honda
and Toyota we are relying on extremely
affordable gas prices with that in mind
the optima hybrid like any hybrid is a
calculated gamble buyers are essentially
hoping to insulate themselves in case of
a sudden and dramatic increase in fuel
prices that the optima hybrid does this
while maintaining largely unchanged
driving dynamics looks in comfort at the
gas only version makes this an easier
commitment
