Changes are focused on improving the quality of materials creating a more luxurious ambience, including a metallic finish to sections of the steering wheel, chrome accents around the instrument cluster and an enhanced mood lighting system. The rear-view mirror is now frameless creating a modern look and enhancing visibility.

In addition to the 10.25” infotainment screen, Stinger also features a 7” digital cluster display with the same great functions as before but with the added benefit of a new Blind-Spot view monitor. But it doesn’t stop there, new Stinger also adds FCA with cyclist protection and junction turning feature, lane Follow Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist and Highway Driving Assist.



Powerful 3.3-litre T-GDi engine – the fastest-accelerating Kia ever sold in Europe

Three years on from its launch, the majority of Stinger customers have specified their car with Kia’s powerful 3.3-litre T-GDi (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct injection) V6 engine.

The upgraded Stinger is offered exclusively with this powerful engine, delivering swift acceleration and rapid responses to driver inputs, while offering a refined grand touring experience during a steady cruise.

The 3.3-litre T-GDi V6 provides drivers with peak power of 370 ps at 6,000 rpm. Its twin turbochargers allow the engine to offer drivers its 510 Nm peak torque across a wide range of speeds (1,300 to 4,500 rpm), resulting in effortless performance everywhere. Accelerating from 0-to-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, the Stinger’s 3.3-litre T-GDi engine makes it the fastest-accelerating Kia ever sold in Europe.

The engine is paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, matching the car’s long-legged gran turismo personality, and all-wheel drive as standard (rear-wheel drive in right-hand drive markets).
