Since it was introduced just a few years ago, Kia’s Stinger has wowed the automotive industry and enthusiasts with its heart-pumping performance, gorgeous fastback body design, and premium interior—all available at an unbelievably affordable price. For the 2022 model year, the mid-sized sports sedan comes with larger, more powerful engine choices and updated exterior and interior styling. Here’s your quick introduction to the 2022 Kia Stinger!

 

Basics About the 2022 Kia Stinger

Turbocharged Powertrain

Previously, the Stinger’s base engine was a turbo 2.0L inline-4, but the new model has increased that size to 2.5L. An impressive 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque from the new motor is now at your beckon. For serious track goers, the newly upgraded twin-turbo 3.3L V6’s 366 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque make the car capable of achieving a top speed of nearly 170 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds.

Both options are paired with an ultra-responsive 8-speed automatic transmission that features steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for added engagement. The Stinger’s rear-wheel drive powertrain layout makes it easy to kick the back end out during spirited drives. While on trips through inclement weather, the optional all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring instills confidence.

Athletic Chassis

In addition to being quick in a straight line, the Stinger is equally adept at tackling the most technical corners you can find. Its MacPherson strut front suspension and 5-link rear suspension are nicely complemented by high-performance dampers. GT1 and GT2 models come standard with electronically controlled suspension and large Brembo brakes that quickly bring the car to a halt.

Thanks to its sharp steering, the Stinger changes direction with amazing speed and precision.

Premium Interior

Though it sits at a much lower price point than European sport sedans, the Stinger boasts a wonderfully stylish and high-end passenger cabin. As reminders of the car’s performance-oriented nature, the steering wheel features a flat bottom and the seats are deeply bolstered. Available Napa leather upholstery and customizable LED accent lighting are beautiful touches. Kia’s Solar Control Glass protects the interior from UV rays and heat buildup.

The Stinger’s cabin offers some of the best passenger space in its class with up to 93.8 cubic feet available. Its fastback body also means generous cargo space at 23.3 cubic feet.

Advanced Infotainment System and Connectivity

The centerpiece of the Stinger’s infotainment system is the Kia Connect high-resolution 10.25-inch touchscreen. Its standard features include smartphone integration through Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth wireless technology with voice recognition, and a 9-speaker sound system. SiriusXM Traffic is a useful option that provides the navigation system with real-time updates.

An unparalleled listening experience is available with the 720-watt, 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with QuantumLogic and Clari-Fi technology.

Kia has hit another home run with its handsome and powerful Stinger. Its chassis design incorporates cutting-edge technology that enables the car to maneuver with unreal speed and grace. Get in touch with Koons Kia of Owing Mills today and schedule your test drive with the thrilling 2022 model!
