When it comes to high-performance sports sedans, Kia gives its European rivals a run for their money with the Stinger! Significantly more affordable than the competition, this mid-sized sedan features an aggressive and muscular fastback design to go with its explosive power and exceptional handling. Here’s your introduction to the all-new 2022 Kia Stinger!
Basics About the 2022 Kia Stinger
Turbocharged Performance
Kia’s Stinger offers two powerful turbo engines. A 2.5L inline-four powerplant comes standard and puts out an impressive 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Even more power is on tap when buyers select the 3.3L V6, which ups those numbers to 368 horsepower and 376 lb-ft. An 8-speed automatic transmission with responsive paddle shifters nicely complements both motors. Its manual mode allows for instantaneous and accurate gear changes.
When you switch on the launch control, the Stinger is capable of rocketing from 0 to 60 in well under five seconds. The car’s drivetrain is available in the classic rear-wheel drive layout or all-wheel drive for those who often find themselves caught in inclement weather. Fuel economy is excellent, with the EPA estimating 32 MPG highway for Stingers with the 2.5L motor.
Well-Tuned Chassis
The Stinger’s front suspension sports MacPherson struts while the rear suspension is multi-linked and features high-performance dampers. Its suspension can instantly adapt to changing road conditions thanks to five G sensors that constantly monitor the vehicle’s motions. The GT2 model features large ventilated Brembo brakes, 13.8-inch at the front and 13.4-inch at the rear, for quick stops.
Bold Interior Design
Athletic handling is well matched by a stylish and premium cabin when you step into the Stinger. Sleek lines and high-quality materials permeate the cabin and add to the sporty nature of the sedan. The seats are meant to enhance the driving experience and feature deep bolstering and contouring to support the driver in all the right places. Heated front seating is standard and there’s available 16-way power adjustment.
Passengers in the rear will enjoy class-leading legroom and headroom and dual-zone automatic climate control with air filtering. Customizable multi-color LED lighting adds to the ambience and the 60/40 split rear seats can be folded down to accommodate large pieces of cargo.
Multimedia and Connectivity
The Kia Connect infotainment system can be accessed through a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen that’s easy to read and navigate. Connectivity is available through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless Bluetooth with voice recognition. For an unparalleled listening experience, buyers can choose the Harman Kardon QuantumLogic 720-watt, 15-speaker premium audio system. There are multiple USB ports and an available wireless charging station.
Kia Connect also allows you to further integrate your smart device with the car. With it, you can remotely locate your vehicle in a crowded lot or view its 360 degree camera system.
Kia’s Stinger is the perfect combination of gorgeous exterior and interior styling, brilliant performance, and cutting-edge technology. It’s a truly compelling alternative to other sports sedans from more expensive brands.
