Kia Stinger
The Kia Stinger established a new era in Kia's history when it debuted in 2017 as a 2018 model, but that was just the start of the story. It "crashed the party" in a way never expected and converted enthusiasts stuck in the old "German is better" doctrine. For 2022, Kia Stinger continues to evolve and maintain its position as Kia's halo sport sedan while pushing frontiers in expected style, performance and engineering. It's been revamped with new exterior design details that offer a more upscale appearance, enhanced performance thanks to a more powerful standard engine, and an unparalleled driving experience with several technologically advanced driver assistance systems as standard.
"The Stinger confidently shows Kia's ability to build a sport sedan that can compete - and beat - the best the world has to offer. It is definitive proof of our proud and evolving engineering prowess," said Sean Yoon, president & CEO, Kia Motors North American and Kia Motors America. "We continue to push Stinger to new heights as it is the catalyst behind our dynamic model lineup, from the award-winning Telluride to the highly praised K5. The Kia Stinger is world-class, and the refreshed 2022 model continues to evolve expectations."
The 2022 Stinger will arrive spring 2021 and be available in GT-Line, GT1, and GT2 trims, with a special edition Scorpion model released at a later date.
