IRVINE, Calif., November 16, 2017 — Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced pricing for the
highly anticipated allnew 2018 Stinger fastback sport sedan. Expected to arrive in Kia dealers in

“The Stinger is a prime example of Kia’s commitment to surpassing consumers’ expectations in
everything we do,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning, KMA. “Although the
Stinger is unlike any other Kia that has come before it in terms of pure driving enjoyment, it is
still very much a traditional Kia in that it offers consumers a very compelling value proposition,
providing excellent performance and handling, premium features and functionality when compared to
its much higherpriced competitors.”
Designed in Frankfurt, developed on the Nürburgring, and built by the brand ranked highest by J.D.
Power in initial quality 3, the Stinger is offered with multiple engine and drivetrain
configurations and luxurious accommodations. All Stingers come standard with a leather appointed
interior, though ultrasoft Nappa leather is available. A thick handstitched multifunction
leatherwrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters sits front and center of the driver, while the
GT trim gets a flatbottom steering wheel. All Stingers are available with a large color TFT
instrument cluster with performance gauges including a track timer, and in true gran turismo
fashion, the Stinger has a generous
23.3 cu.ft. of cargo space that can be accessed via a power liftgate with available Smart Trunk
functionality.
The base Stinger rides on a passive suspension tuned to offer a balance of handling and ride
comfort, while the GT is available with Kia’s first electronically controlled Dynamic Stability
Damping Control and standard highperformance Brembo ®4 disc brakes. Two turbocharged engines are
available: The base Stinger and Premium trims get a 2.0liter twinscroll turbocharged
fourcylinder engine that produces 255 horsepower at 6,200 rpm with 260 lb.ft. of maximum torque
available from 1,400 – 4,000 rpm. Stingers wearing the GT moniker get a more powerful 3.3liter
twinturbo V6 which produces 365 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and offers 376 lb.ft. of torque from
1,300 – 4,500 rpm. Both engines are matched to a secondgeneration eightspeed reardrive
automatic transmission. Allwheel drive also is available across all trims.
Multiple Advance Driver Assistance systems work together to enhance the driving experience,
including Driver Attention Warning (DAW) 5, Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA)6 with pedestrian
detection, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC w/ S&G) 6, Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) 6, Blind Spot Collision Warning (BCW) 6, and Rear CrossTraffic Collision Warning (RCCW) 6.
A heightadjustable color HeadUp Display (HUD)7 display is also available.
The base audio system for the 2.0liter turbo features six speakers and a seveninch color
touchscreen with the latest version of UVO, Kia’s awardwinning telematics systems 8. The standard
system found in the GT trim ups the speaker count to nine and includes an external amplifier. A
premium Harman/Kardon®9 audio system that features ClariFi™ 10 and nextgeneration QuantumLogic™
11 Surround Sound
technology is also available.
