“The Stinger is a prime example of Kia’s commitment to surpassing consumers’ expectations in everything we do,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning, KMA. “Although the Stinger is unlike any other Kia that has come before it in terms of pure driving enjoyment, it is still very much a traditional Kia in that it offers consumers a very compelling value proposition, providing excellent performance and handling, premium features and functionality when compared to its much higher-priced competitors.”

In making the pricing announcement, Kia reminded us that the Stinger, designed in Frankfurt and developed on the Nürburgring, is offered with multiple engine and drivetrain configurations and luxurious accommodations.

All Stingers come standard with a leather-appointed interior, with ultra-soft Nappa leather available. A thick hand-stitched multifunction leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters sits front and center of the driver, while the GT trim gets a flat-bottom steering wheel.

All Stingers are available with a large color TFT instrument cluster with performance gauges including a track timer, and true to the gran turismo tradition offers a generous 23.3 cu.-ft. of cargo space accessible via a power liftgate with available Smart Trunk functionality.
