The hybrid has issues in several areas which question its hybrid potential. Driving experience sometimes feels little legging behind on highways. The interior is spacious but is not as luxurious as the company claims. The infotainment system is sometimes less intuitive to use. Economy is good but is not that significant then other non hybrid Car in segment. Kia K8 hybrid offers medium things which might not completely justify the price tag in which it comes specially when checking other cars in the segment.
