KIA Stinger

KIA Stinger is a fastback sports sedan for drivers who want rear-wheel-drive character, a strong road stance, and a cabin that still works as a daily car. By our assessment, what set it apart was the mix of sharp styling and genuine grand-touring manners, so it felt like a performance car that did not throw away normal comfort. The compromise is that this kind of car asks for more fuel, more tyre and brake wear, and a bigger appetite for space and upkeep than a plain family saloon. In use, that means the Stinger is happiest when the road opens up, yet it remains usable in traffic and on routine commutes. Compared with mainstream midsize sedans, it sits much closer to the enthusiast end of the spectrum, and that is the point. It is the sort of car where the shape and the chassis matter more than badge-ladder practicality.
