Kia K5 Hybrid's Guinness World Record sets standards

2012 Kia K5 Hybrid


Gotta admit it that the Kia K5 Hybrid (Kia Optima Hybrid) has set a Guinness World Record for using just 5.5 tanks of petrol in a 14-day, 12,712km cross country trip all over the United States of America.

With Wayne Gerdes and Chris Bernius behind the wheel of the Kia K5 Hybrid, this trip achieved an amazing fuel consumption of 27.44km/L (about 64.5 miles per gallon or 3.6L/100km).

It's amazing that the Kia K5 Hybrid is the best vehicle for a very long road trip not only because it was spacious, comfortable, and fun-to-drive, but also the parallel gasoline-electric powertrain benefited the best fuel efficiency on highway driving. Now I'm sure most Koreans would go for the Kia K5 Hybrid because of its Guinness World Record that exceeds expectations.
