Kia Stinger

- Year: 2017 – 2023
- Status: discontinued
The Kia Stinger, launched in 2017, represents a significant departure from Kia's typically conservative design language. Positioned as a grand tourer, it boasts a sleek, fastback silhouette with a long hood and short rear deck. Available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and powered by a range of turbocharged engines, the Stinger offers a surprising blend of performance and practicality. Its interior features a driver-focused cockpit with high-quality materials and advanced technology, including a large touchscreen infotainment system. Though not as spacious as some dedicated family sedans, its comfortable seating and ample cargo space make it suitable for everyday use. Its emphasis on driver engagement, coupled with its stylish exterior and relatively affordable price point, makes the Stinger a compelling alternative to established luxury sports sedans. However, fuel economy can be a drawback depending on the chosen engine and driving style.
