Denver Area 2017 KIA Optima PLUG-IN Hybrid

The interior offers passengers the standard comfort and quiet smooth ride. The interior of the Kia Optima PLUG-IN has more space and more luxurious materials with details like real stitching. The seats are designed to reduce vibration, with more cushioning for the head and back and more support for the thighs. The center console is wider and controls have been eliminated and grouped to reduce a cluttered look. The Optima PHEV battery pack is located under and behind the rear seat which only minimally reduces the cargo space and does not reduce the interior space. To help find points of interest or charging stations, the plug-in offers three years of UVO EV services powered by Verizon that includes Google Voice Recognition Local Search and is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible. With the Android and Apple apps, the charging status can be checked remotely. The 4G wireless connectivity allows for remote start and stop, remote lock and unlock, remote control of the cabin temperature, and access to My Car Zone which features curfew alerts, speed alerts, and Geofence. The infotainment system also includes a ten-speaker Harmon/Kardon sound system with Clari-Fi™9 technology and a 630-watt digital amplifier.
