The 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid, a midsize sedan, shakes up the traditional hybrid formula, according to Cars.com Family contributor Carrie Kim. From its sporty exterior to its upscale interior, the Optima Hybrid doesn’t scream hybrid as it passes cars on the highway. During her weeklong test drive, Carrie found that the Optima Hybrid didn’t come close to achieving its EPA-estimated 35/40 mpg city/highway.
