10. Kia Optima

This car scores points for prompt acceleration, an array of features for its pocket-friendly price range and use of choicest of materials for its interiors. Alas, the vehicle fails to do what a hybrid is meant to do: provide fuel economy. At 36/40 mpg, it is not as good as its competitors. Another problem reported by several automotive journalists is the rickety transition between gas and electric power, which dampens the driving experience. Restricted space for rear seat passengers also adds to its disadvantages making it less popular than its rivals. Sonata Hybrid would be a better option within the same price range.
