2012 Kia Optima Hybrid is an animal that looks very nice is not the battery carrying brothers - at least initially. Just like their cousins are more traditionally powered, hybrid Optima flow return line from the camera and smiling mischievously slick face in a greenhouse. Shoulder thin to help break the Optima when viewed from the side, and a series of individual LED taillights to integrate this data neatly in the back.

Kia engineers have used a number of settings to help the hybrid in its quest for better fuel economy. The Optima has a non-hybrid Nissan 370Z-like drag coefficient of 0.29, but Kia wanted to get this figure is slightly lower for the hybrids. To achieve this, engineers have installed their babies with gas-electric elements mesh, a plastic shoe, a rear spoiler, rear bumper and revised slightly lower ride height.
