Kia Stinger

Design

Stunning design is all about the right proportions and balance. The All-New Kia Stinger masters this effortlessly with its long bonnet with short front overhang, long wheelbase and low-slung cabin. Broad shoulder lines converge to form a strong but sleek body, rounded out with twin or quad exhaust.

The Kia Stinger takes its inspiration from the classic styling and aeronautics of the sporty Gran Turismo era, but with its own unique edge. The striking interior features circular aircraft-style vents, metal-ringed gauges and satin chrome trim. Enjoy the sheer refinement of the interior details; such as the innovative technology, modern trims and contrast stitching – all from the comfort of the low-set drivers seat.

The all-new Kia Stinger with leather upholstery and 18-19” alloy wheels has the looks of a sports car without being too snug on the inside. With plenty of headroom, there’s spacious seating for the driver and up to four passengers to buckle up and set out on that journey ahead.

The Smart Power Tailgate technology opens the boot hatch for you automatically through a key that detects when you’re near the rear of the car. The roomy boot offers 406l of cargo space for your luggage and for longer items or additional cargo, you can simply fold down the 60:40 split rear seats.

The Kia Stinger comes in multifarious colours including Sunset Yellow, Ceramic Grey, Midnight Black, Panthera Metal and Pearl White and each of the three versions, including the GT-Line, the GT-Line S and the GT S, has a slightly different spec. The electric-one-touch sunroof with safety function is available when you gear up from the GT-Line to the ‘hotter’ versions of the Stinger.

Technology

Tap your destination into the 8” Touchscreen Navigation system powered by TomTom. Kia’s Connected Services, with a European Mapping & Traffic Messaging Channel (TMC), takes reliable guidance to the next level, allowing you to always be connected. Smarter and safer technology makes sure your eyes don’t take a detour from the road. Apple Car Play is the ultimate co-pilot, taking info from your iPhone to the in-built display of the car. Android Auto features powerful new voice actions to minimise distractions and DAB lets you scour the radio for channels to tune into.

The subwoofer has sneaked its way into the Kia beneath the front seats, the perfect hiding place to sound authentic world-class music from a 15-speaker Harman/Kardon® Premium Sound System. Clari-Fi™ technology enhances the digital audio experience while the latest in QuantumLogic™ Surround Sound technology ensures an authentic, refined multidimensional soundstage. An External Amp & Front Centre Speaker is available on the 'GT-Line S' and 'GT S' models.

2020 Facelift

The upgraded model, revealed at first in Korean specification for Kia’s domestic market, boasts a range of design updates, inside and out. Outside, the changes add a new touch of drama to the car’s design and give buyers more options for customisation. Inside, the upgraded Stinger offers a more comfortable space in which to travel, with a revised design, new higher-quality materials, and updates to the infotainment system.

At the front of the Stinger, Kia’s signature ‘tiger-nose’ grille sits between new multifaceted reflector LED headlamps, with a new design and LED daytime running lights. The new lamps appear darker and sleeker with the lights out, while giving the car a more high-tech light signature, with sharp slashes of light angled slightly towards the front of the car.

At the rear, a svelte updated rear combination lamp displays a distinctive new light signature, extending the full width of the car and mimicking the shape of the subtle spoiler integrated into the trunk lid. The new turn signals comprise a collection of ten individual LED units each, arranged in a grid pattern to mimic the appearance of a checkered flag, used in motorsport to signal the end of a race.

Depending on specification, the dashboard and doors are finished with new contrast stitching, while the centre console is available with aluminium or carbon fibre-style trim; both measures enhance the sporty nature of the cabin. Sitting atop the dash is Kia’s upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system, accented by a new glossy black finish along the front of the dash. The cabin also features a new mood lighting system, allowing drivers to select one of 64 colours to subtly alter the character of the cabin.
