we're
here with one of the most highly anticipated cars of the year the kia stinger
this is the Korean automakers new sporty grand touring sedan and if you needed
more proof that Kia isn't the cheap second-rate automaker it once was and you
weren't already convinced by all the awards it's won this stinger is it and it
should help change everything you thought you knew about this brand so there
was obviously a lot of hype around.
this
car you know automakers are always throwing around buzzwords like excitement
and adrenaline and passion and the cars just often end up being a little bit
lazy and uninspired and boring but I think the key of stinger actually lives up
to the hype not because it's the best performance car out there but once you
drive it it becomes really obvious that Kia put everything it had into this car
and that is something they can be very very proud of the other really cool
thing about driving the Stinger is that people we're doing double takes and
trying to snap photos of it and this is a Kia so that's kind of unexpected
so here are the basics of this car in the US
you can get rear or all-wheel drive with either a 2-liter turbo four-cylinder
or a 3.3 liter twin turbo v6 and GT models and GT is the designation reserved
for six-cylinder models so four-cylinder models stinger v6 models stinger GT
the only transmission available is an 8-speed Auto
I know a lot of you have been complaining that
it doesn't come with a manual but there are rumors that a v8 model might be on
its way which i think would make up for the lack of a manual in canada the GT
model with all-wheel drive is the only one available right now but they are planning
to bring the four-cylinder sometime in 2018 the four-cylinder engine puts out
255 horsepower and 250 pound feet of torque and it's pretty punchy but the
engine you really want is the v6 which gives the stinger 365 horsepower and 376
pound-feet of torque
it just suits the personality of the car way
more and it helps it get to 60 miles an hour in just 4.7 seconds and that is
surprisingly faster than the Porsche Panamera which doesn't in 5.9 seconds the
stinger obviously isn't a Panamera competitor and that makes it all the more
impressive the power delivery isn't violently strong but the v6 it's a lot of
hustle it puts down power in a smooth and linear manner with only a little bit
of turbo lag the v6 sounds shockingly aggressive when you punch it but I do
wish more of that exhaust note would make it into the cabin so when driven
normally
