Interior and Technology
Upon your approach with a Smart Key, standard Smart
Welcome technology detects it, automatically illuminating door pocket lighting
to invite you into an accommodating interior ready for the road. Leather and
quilted Nappa leather seating options present, a lap of luxury coming standard
heated in front, optionally ventilated in models like Stinger GT2,
power-adjustable for the driver and front passenger, and with a lumbar support
for each.
Around you, a command center expands, complete in
lower trims with a 7-inch UVO infotainment system, which rises to 8 inches and
incorporates a standard Voice-Command Navigation System for turn-by-turn
convenience around West Chester in those higher. What's more, Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay come standard, making it a breeze to extend your smartphone's
capabilities to the touchscreen for the ride. To take your Dover road-trip
soundtrack to the next level, six- and nine-speaker audio options become a
720-watt, 15-speaker Harman/Kardon QuantumLogic Premium Surround Sound system
with Clari-Fi near the top of the new Stinger Kia car line. Start the engine, slip open
the available power sunroof with power sunshade when the weather's fine, and
the excitement begins.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, you'll find your choice of two engines
for which "adrenalized" is an understatement. Opt for a twin-scroll
turbocharged 300-horsepower, 2.5-liter engine firing on all four cylinders with
260 pound-feet of performance torque in lower trims, or go full-power in
Stinger GT and later with a twin-turbocharged 365-horsepower, 3.3-liter V6
workhorse capable of 376 pound-feet. Each comes paired with an eight-speed
automatic transmission to keep shifts smooth, and that translates to a
respectable EPA-estimated fuel economy up to 22 MPG city, 29 MPG highway, and
25 MPG combined, depending on trim.
On the road around Newark, expect the dynamics to
make driving a blast. A MacPherson strut front and five-link rear suspension
with high-performance dampers offers a winning combination of agility and
responsiveness, and it comes electronically controlled in GT1 and GT2 for the
cutting-edge in discretionary adjustment. To keep the feel silken, a
vibration-reducing Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber comes standard in Stinger 2.0L
and Premium, and you can upgrade from rear-wheel drive in higher trims to
available all-wheel drive, with a limited-slip differential and dynamic torque
vectoring control likewise an option for professional command of traction,
especially while high-speed cornering. To that end, you can find a Variable
Gear Ratio (VGR) rack in higher trim levels, making possible enhanced
highway-speed stability with rapid response.
Safety and Driver-Assist Features
But the new Kia commitment to your sports sedan
experience isn't limited to driving pleasure. As models of safety are
concerned, the new Stinger stands out. A trifecta of Electronic Stability
Control, Traction Control, and Hill Start Assist Control helps keep the ride on
the level, with reliable stopping power coming thanks to a Cornering Brake
Control and Brake Fade Compensation. Should the worst happen, the car even
incorporates an advanced airbag system for redundant layers of
protection.
Plus, driver-assist options abound, offering
intelligent help navigating the ways of the road from driveway to Elkton, MD
highway and back home again. Available Blind Spot Collision Warning, a Lane
Departure Warning System, Lane Change and Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross
Traffic Collision Warning help keep you situationally aware. Optional Advanced
Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go simplifies safely distancing yourself
from other vehicles, while a Forward Collision Warning System and Forward
Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection can even help you remain
clear of an impending accident.
Factor in an available Driver Attention
Warning feature to keep you focused, and optional High Beam Assist and Dynamic
Low Beam Assist to light the way, and you and your new Kia car can
remain ready for almost any eventuality. You can even make use of a standard
rear-camera display with dynamic guidelines and Front and Rear Parking Distance
Warning to ease into that premium spot at your venue with peace of
mind. Save on your next Stinger with our new Kia specials.
