Kia Stinger Submodels
The Kia Stinger arrived for the 2018 model year as a massive surprise. Developed under the leadership of Albert Biermann, the former head of BMW's M division, it was a rear-wheel-drive GT sedan designed to challenge European benchmarks. Buyers could choose between a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder or the much more desirable 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6, with both available in rear or all-wheel drive. The Stinger was a halo car, proving Kia could build a machine that was both stylish and genuinely fun to drive.
With production ending after the 2023 model year, the Stinger is poised to become a sought-after modern classic. Its limited 6-year run, V6 performance, and role in transforming Kia's brand image make it a unique piece of automotive history. Enthusiasts gravitate toward the 365-horsepower GT, GT1, and GT2 models, which offer the most performance and features for the money.
Buying Tips
- The 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 models (GT, GT1, GT2) are the most desirable and offer the definitive Stinger experience.
- Inspect the paint carefully, especially on the hood and front bumper. Some early models were known to have issues with chipping and peeling.
- Test the infotainment system thoroughly during your drive, as some owners report occasional freezes or electronic glitches.
- Listen for interior rattles, particularly from the rear hatch area or the optional panoramic sunroof, which can be common annoyances.
- Scrutinize the service history to ensure the twin-turbo engine received regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil.
