Kia Stinger Sports Sedan Set to Startle Stagnant Segment

Nov 17, 2017

2018 Kia Stinger Performance Specs

Most drivers have long given up on the idea of a car that is both fun and practical, leaving them to choose only one or the other. For most of us, this choice is made by the fact that we need a reliable automobile that doesn’t consume gas by the barrel.

Fortunately, Kia is here to help offer thrill between A and B. The 2018 Kia Stinger arrives to the market ready to offer horsepower to the masses without sacrificing cargo space, technology options or even fuel efficiency.

By offering this car to this segment, Kia is going beyond challenging fast mid-size sedan models like the V6 models of the Camry or Passat, they’re seemingly seeking to unseat performance flagships like the Mustang and Charger.

Drivers wind up with a track sleeper, a vehicle that fares equally as well for a cross-country road trip with the family and for 10 laps on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Here are the performance numbers drivers will be able to expect from the 2018 Kia Stinger.

2018 Kia Stinger Base Performance Specs

The base engine on the 2018 Kia Stinger, a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder sees drivers get the following:

255-horsepower
260 lb-ft of torque
0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds

The base features a price competitive for the midsize sedan class and a host of technology and safety features that elevate the Stinger to status as one of the best value vehicles in its class and on the market.

2018 Kia Stinger GT Performance Specs

Drivers looking for a vehicle more focused on its track aspirations than on providing a spirited ride on the freeway will have the option of upgrading their 2018 Kia Stinger to the GT model. The 2018 Kia Stinger GT features a more robust 3.3L V6 engine that delivers the following:

365-horsepower
376 lb-ft. torque
0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds

The 2018 Kia Stinger is built on a dynamic rear-wheel drive platform, ensuring drivers enjoy the most sporty handling possible. An 8-speed automatic transmission is manned by steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters.

A Stylish Kia with Serious Performance Ambitions

For drivers, the 2018 Kia Stinger is something new and exciting altogether. For Kia, it’s another opportunity to show the market its capability and reliability in a brand new segment. While vehicles like the Sedona differ greatly in terms of performance and utility, they are designed with the same priorities and responsibility on Kia’s part.
