2016 Kia Optima SX Limited Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh For a luxurious, fairly quick car, the Kia Optima SX Limited earns competitive marks in the EPA's fuel economy tests: 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. But the Maxima does nearly as well (22/30) while performing much better. The Altima V6's EPA ratings tie the Kia's. The Mazda6, while... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Nissan Maxima |

2016 Chevrolet Malibu Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh When fitted with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, the 2016 Malibu scores a little better in the EPA's fuel economy tests than the 2013-2015's with the same engine but two fewer transmission ratios did, 22 mpg city, 33 mpg highway vs. 21 and 30. This improvement places it about even with... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Kia Optima |

2012 Kia Optima SX Turbo (Satin Metal) 2012 Kia Optima Pros and Cons Member6295 This is my biggest (and only real) complaint with the Optima. It advertises fuel economy of 22 city, 34 highway.

2013 Kia Optima SXL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Many auto makers are substituting turbocharged fours for V6s because of their theoretically superior fuel economy. The Kia Optima SXL earns EPA ratings of 22 mpg city, 34 highway. The similarly turbo-foured Ford Fusion comes close, 22/33. The most fuel efficient V6, in the new Honda Accord, manages 21/34 without... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

Looks and performance from a surprising company 2013 Kia Optima Pros and Cons Member3901 I find fuel economy, in mixed driving, to be on par with a V6 of comparable power. I usually get about 24 MPG in combined driving. However, on a recent road trip, I had 32 MPG on one tank. It's perhaps slightly better than the Acura TL I had, but... |

2007 Kia Optima Pros and Cons Member546 It may be a bit borderline in 100% city driving (19-20 mpg), but it gets 33mpg+ on the open highway, with only a 1-2 mpg penalty for using A/C. |
