KIA Stinger GT V6 (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

KIA Stinger GT is a large and heavy car. At over 1800 kg the 370 hp V6 has its work cut out for it. But it’s very effective propelling the Stinger from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. That’s faster than BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe, and not much slower, than Audi S5 Sportback. We’re talking fast, luxury cars with prices starting well above the Stinger’s price.

Most likely a more reliable Arteon competitor. At least they made a unique dash and did not take one straight out of an Optima, while the Arteon is just a Passat inside.

I think he was a bit harsh..but to each his own...Kia had said they were planning to adjust the exhaust noise for the North American market for a more stronger sound....i will wait until I do my own test drive next mth....KIA great first

[vigneshie]

No need to wait for badge snobs when the reviewer himself seems to be one.

[dimekoza]

If I Could I would buy this in a heartbeat....fantastic car.

[sergiospicer]

I think you are a glass half empty kind of guy.

The bootlip size is a point of criticism because you actually have to use your muscles to lift something in (for about 3 secs). Really? Come on dude, who do think is a potential buyer of this car- an 80 year old Grandma?

[limbo]

KIA, you had my curiousity, now you have my attention.

[TheLastNeville]

I'm loving everything about the Stinger GT. I wont say the sound is bad just yet though. I know Korea has really strict sound laws so they make their cars extra quiet. A good aftermarket exhaust will determine whether it sounds good or not.

[raykarr]

You're entirely too picky. As a mother, I could care less about grocery hooks and lifting my bags over a lip in the trunk. This car is lovely!

[chigasaki]

I've never seen a button on the boot to lock the whole car. Some of your critiques are silly.

[AMan-hesz]

Thanks for making this video. My only criticism is your criticisms - they're almost all entirely pointless. Definitely pointless for 90% of people who buy this car. I'm so sick of gearheads whining about inconsequential details that only gearheads care about. You go even further and whine about details that no one but YOU care about. It is readily apparent that almost nothing about this car can be criticized, when you consider the price - from any other auto maker. That makes this car a win/win/win.

You are a very difficult man to please, The Stinger is the best.

[diw]

Bro iz an enthusiast car and you are complaining about the lack of shopping bag hoops??

[muldune]

The styling is cutting edge. It makes the BMW, Mercedes, and Audi models look stodgy.

[davidilijevski]

Kia oil changes 50 plus bucks ....mercedes and BMW 500 plus ....enough said ...yhis guy is a total duffus

[Arizona-Tactical]

Wonder how this would fair vs a Q50 red sport ? Very interesting car for sure

[EduBrasil]

my friend ... you do not seem to understand by car. the noise of the engine is not enough inconvenience ... want to sound high in the exhaust ?? change the exhausts ... do not demean the Kia Stinger .... please.

[johntilghman]

I love my 2018 3.3 L TT AWD Ceramic Silver Stinger, one of the nicest and trouble free cars I have ever had. Over 10k miles and it just keeps smoking those BMW/Audi guys, all they see is my rear moving away at high speed. The Vents on the front and sides ARE not to cool the brakes, tho I am sure they do that as well.. They create an air curtain for high speed stability.

[artokiiskinen]

I would rather have the stinger than an cheater VW

[nicoargca]

Exhaust and engine sound can be adjusted to sound however you want, for very little money. Yes I'm talking about aftermarket parts.
