Motor & battery

The electric motor can operate the car in EV (electric-only) mode, running strictly on energy stored in the battery. It also assists the gas engine in hybrid operation, reducing fuel consumption. The advanced lithium polymer battery is lighter, more compact and more powerful than all other hybrid batteries.

Active air flap

The active air flap system located behind the front grille automatically opens and closes depending on driving conditions to reduce aerodynamic drag, thus resulting in improved fuel economy.

Electric power air conditioning

A high-performance electric compressor is the secret behind Optima Hybrid’s efficient air conditioning system, which works even when the gasoline engine is not running and helps to further improve fuel econ

ECO Level

The supervision meter cluster includes a readout of the vehicle’s performance. The more economically you drive, the more leaves/ flowers appear. When the ECO reaches the top, the system registers a points toward the saved ECO score. As your score increases, more leaves illuminate. The cluster also calculates instant fuel economy every 2.5 minutes for increased fuel efficiency.

Full color TFT LCD screen

The striking supervision cluster features vivid graphics on the highly visible centered display that provides a variety of useful information about the vehicle’s performance. With just a quick glance, the driver can see whether the car is operating with the electric motor or the gasoline engine, instantaneous and average fuel economy, and information about the regenerative battery-charging system. There is even an ECO Level readout that depicts green leaves growing as your driving habits become more fuel efficient.
