2018 Stinger

We know our customers have been patiently waiting for more details about the Kia GT Concept, and DELLA Kia is happy to announce that the production model has finally debuted at the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit! The five-passenger fastback sports sedan will be called the 2018 Kia Stinger and will be the highest-performance production vehicle in Kia history.

The 2018 Kia Stinger will make its road presence known to everyone with an eight-speed rear-wheel transmission and two available turbocharged engines. Drivers can choose between the standard 2.0L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Theta II Engine (255 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque) and the available 3.3l Twin-Turbo V6 Lambda II Engine (365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque).

The Stinger radiates confidence and athleticism with a tiger-nose grille, LED headlamps, front air curtains, four exhaust pipes, and smooth underbody.  Inside the cabin, drivers will enjoy a seven-inch haptic touchscreen equipped with UVO, next-generation QuantumLogic™Surround Sound Technology, Head-Up Display, Smartphone Charging Pad, and Bluetooth® Hands-Free Operation. They’ll also be protected by a host of safety technologies like Integrated Autonomous Emergency Braking, Advanced Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

“Unlike any Kia that has come before it, the Stinger really is a dream car for us, and here today in Detroit, that dream is now a reality after years of commitment and hard work from a passionate group of designers, engineers and executives around the world,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, Kia Motors America. “From its GT concept-car origins to the years of tuning and refining on the legendary Nurburgring circuit, no detail was too small to be obsessed over, and the result is simply stunning.”
