Nearly new buying guide: Kia Stinger
Take the least trodden path into sporty saloon ownership, we suggest
The Kia Stinger, introduced in 2017, proves there’s more to the Korean firm than compact crossovers and reasonably priced hatchbacks.
Despite being Kia’s first sports saloon, the top-end Kia Stinger GT S version gets plenty right in a class where it needs to compete with some of Germany’s finest: the Audi S4, BMW 440i Gran Coupé M Sport and Mercedes-AMG C43.
It’s no easy task, of course, but the Stinger challenges with direct and crisp handling, little body roll and huge amounts of grip. Occupants are also treated to decent levels of ride comfort, which suits the nature of the refined and responsive engines in the line-up.
Inside the Stinger, there’s an excellent, low driving position that’s extensively adjustable, as well as swathes of standard kit.
Entry-level GT-Line cars feature an 8.0in infotainment touchscreen, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, a 7.0in digital instrument screen, a head-up display, leather upholstery and 18in alloy wheels. Move up to GT-Line S trim for an excellent, low driving position that’s extensively adjustable, as well as swathes of standard kit.
Top-rung GT S cars are fitted with 19in wheels, Brembo brakes, nappa leather trim and adaptive dampers.
