Kia is certainly elevating their game at the moment. With the recent change of identity for the company in removing the “Motors” word from their name, they are embarking on a bold new change of direction. Now, the company has gone ahead and launched its new and updated 2022 Stinger model that they say is further set to elevate “the game” with some new features, high horsepower, and stunning new looks to continue the good progress made with a car that initially launched back in 2017.
GT-Line Is To Be The Flagship Stinger
The Stinger will be available in three trims, which are GT-Line, GT1, and GT2. A special edition Scorpion model is due to be released at a later date. The GT-Line is perhaps the most desirable of all Stinger options. It features a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifting. The engine provides 300 hp and it will be available either with rear-wheel drive or torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the GT1 and GT2 will be powered by the familiar twin-turbo V6 engine offering 368 hp at 3.3 liters and the same transmission and shifting as the GT-Line.
Amazing Features Come Standard On New Kia Stinger
The new Stinger comes with some amazing features as standard. There are new 18 and 19-inch wheel designs as well as a much more aggressive exhaust tip design for enhanced visual appeal. Black gloss and chrome details on the instrument panel add an extra dimension, and the ambient mood cabin lighting via the new LEDs can be changed via a selection of vibrant interior colors. The more aggressive exhaust tip design adds enhanced visual appeal.
Scorpion Special Edition
Beyond that, the Stinger's Scorpion Special Edition is certainly set to wow later on in the year. It will have select exterior colors, which are Snow White, Aurora Black, and Ceramic Silver. The Scorpion will also feature a rear spoiler plus unique blacked wheels, black-out fender garnish, and interior carbon fiber pattern trim. All Stingers will have a 10.25-inch touchscreen display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay technology and a whole breadth of features including wireless smartphone charging.
