Detailed analysis of the KIA Stinger 2.0 T-GDI 188 kW (255 CV) xTreme · 256 CV (2017-2018)
General description
The KIA Stinger burst onto the market as a statement of intent, a bold move from the Korean brand. It's not just another car; it's a purebred Gran Turismo, designed to thrill and fearlessly challenge the German sports sedans that dominated the segment. It is the materialization of a dream, a car born from a passion for driving.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the Stinger is an addictive experience. Its 256 horsepower pushes forcefully from low revs, and the rear-wheel drive connects you to the asphalt in a pure and direct way. The 8-speed automatic transmission is smooth in comfort mode and fast when demanded, allowing you to enjoy a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 6 seconds. It's a car that devours kilometers on the highway with superb composure and, at the same time, brings a smile to your face on every curve.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is simply spectacular. A long and low silhouette, with an endless hood and a fastback-style roofline that you fall in love with at first sight. Every line conveys power and elegance, from the aggressive 'tiger-nose' grille to the muscular rear. It's a car that doesn't go unnoticed, that turns heads, and that feels special even before you open the door.
Technology and features
The interior welcomes you with good quality materials and very complete equipment for its time. The central screen serves its purpose with an intuitive system, and the low driving position immerses you in a sporty atmosphere. The sports seats hold the body perfectly, and it features driving aids that make long trips safer and more relaxed, combining the best of both worlds.
Competition
The Stinger dared to go head-to-head with rivals of the caliber of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and the Audi A5 Sportback. While the Germans opt for an almost clinical sobriety and perfection, the KIA offers a more passionate character and a bolder design, often with an unbeatable price-to-equipment ratio. It is the alternative for those looking for something different without sacrificing performance.
Conclusion
The KIA Stinger is much more than a car; it's an experience. It is proof that an exciting, beautiful, and high-performance vehicle can be created outside of the traditional brands. An authentic Gran Turismo that prioritizes sensations and the pleasure of driving. A brave contender that showed that heart and soul can be the best selling points.
