Renewed Kia Stinger 3.3 T-GDI V6 much cheaper

Kia is now also putting the Stinger, renewed last year, on the Dutch price list. The eccentric flagship is only available with the mighty 3.3 V6. It is immediately a lot cheaper than it ever was. The Kia Stinger 3.3 T-GDI V6 can be ordered immediately.

Kia presented the renewed Stinger to the world in South Korea last year. The variant intended for the European market only appeared in September and today it was finally announced what it should cost. The Kia Stinger 3.3 T-GDI V6 has a starting price of € 89,995. That is of course not nothing, but the 366 hp strong Korean is pretty thick 7 grand cheaper than it was before its facelift. This price drop is due to lower consumption on paper, resulting in lower bpm.

The Stinger has in all cases the 3.3 T-GDI V6 under the hood, a petrol engine with two turbos that distributes 366 hp and 510 Nm over all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. This means that the car that functions as Kia’s absolute top model in the Netherlands reaches a speed of 100 km / h on the clock in 5.4 seconds. Its top speed is 270 km / h. The 2.0 Turbo with 255 hp and the 200 hp 2.2 diesel do not return.

The revised Stinger is no different from the model presented in 2017. It has modified LED headlights and rear lights that are now connected by an LED strip. Previously there was a reflective strip between the units. Kia makes available, among other 19-inch light alloy and a new paint color (Ascot Green). The use of materials in the interior has been improved, according to Kia, and the manufacturer now mounts a 10.25-inch instead of an 8-inch display in the center console. Also a novelty is a digital instrumentation with a diameter of 7-inch. Kia also supplies the Stinger with a virtually rimless interior mirror and the option list is expanded with mood lighting with a choice of no less than 64 colors. Nappa leather is available for the seat upholstery in the colors Saturn Black and Red. New is a suede package for the interior. The safety systems have been expanded with an Emergency Brake Assist, which also intervenes in oncoming traffic at an intersection when turning left. Adaptive cruise control now works in conjunction with the navigation system and automatically adjusts its speed when cornering.

Kia immediately launches a new version of the Stinger GT, the GT Pro. It has, among other things, suede-covered sports seats, suede finish on the dashboard and on the door panels. In this version, for which Kia charges € 92,490, you will also find red seat belts and red stitching. In addition, the GT Pro has a 360-degree camera, Blind Spot View Monotor and a sliding / tilting glass roof. The GT is also quite in its stuff. It has an extensive audio system with 15 speakers, a head-up display, heated, ventilated and electrically adjustable nappa leather front seats, leather upholstery and an electrically operated tailgate.
