with 406 liters of cargo capacity

accessible space to bring along
everything you'll need, even
for a long road trip.

And to achieve unlimited speed, a car needs to be equipped with superior capacity
in terms of power, drivability, safety, and durability.

Lambda 3.3 T-GDI engine
A twin turbocharger helps this top-of-the-line V6 engine achieve considerable torque over a broad rpm range. The exhaust manifold is integrated with the cylinder head for added power, and an electronic thermostat helps provide precise temperature control.
-
Theta II 2.0 T-GDI
A twin-scroll turbocharger boosts low- to mid-rev efficiency while newly applied technologies provide phenomenal combustion efficiency. The engine produces maximum power output of 255 ps at 6,200 rpm and maximum torque output of 353 Nm from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm.
-
R 2.2 VGT diesel
This state-of-the-art diesel powerplant offers improved efficiency and reduced low-end noise and vibration. It is capable of producing 200 ps at 3,800 rpm with maximum torque output of 440 Nm across a wide 1,750-2,750 rpm range.
- Rack-mounted motor driven power steering (R-MDPS)

- 19-inch summer tires
-
19-inch summer tiresclose
Standard on the GT trim and an option on the GT Line trim, low-profile 19-inch tires offer an outstanding blend of dry and wet street traction and handling.
- Electronically-controlled suspension (ECS)
-
Electronically-controlled suspension (ECS)close
ECS uses multiple sensors and an ECU to evaluate vehicle speed, road conditions, cornering, stopping requirements and acceleration. Using this data, ECS regulates vertical suspension travel to optimize road feel in real time.



-
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
-
ESC ensures optimal braking
performance and directional control by
automatically delivering the right
amount of braking force to each wheel
based on evaluation of engine torque
and driving circumstances.
-
- Drive Mode Select (DMS)
-
The Stinger's DMS includes five
modes, accessible from a dial behind
the shift lever, that change the driving
characteristics by automatically
adjusting how the engine, transmission,
suspension, steering and AWD operate,
while even altering the engine sound.
- Front-bumper-integrated air curtain
-
Front-bumper-integrated air curtainclose
An air curtain that helps manage airflow, reduce drag and direct cooling air to the radiator is integrated into the front bumper. In addition to the fuel savings and noise reduction that accompany reduced drag, the air dam’s contours improve driving stability.
- Rear integrated diffuser
-
Rear integrated diffuserclose
An integrated diffuser panel beneath the rear bumper helps to control airflow leaving the underside of the body, preventing the four exhaust pipes from creating drag under the car. It pays homage to racing diffusers which lower the turbulence that can occur when low-pressure air under the car meets higher pressure ambient air. Longitudinal ridges help provide directional stability.
- Lipped trunk lid edge
-
Lipped trunk lid edgeclose
To improve stability and optimize the vortex of potentially turbulent air that forms behind the Stinger when it travels at higher speeds, the trailing edge of the trunk lid features an aerodynamic lip that provides a spoiler effect along with a pleasing aesthetic design detail.
- Multiple aerodynamic underbody covers
-
Multiple aerodynamic underbody coversclose
The Stinger uses a system of sturdy underbody covers below the engine and transmission, on each side of the cabin and on each side of the rear suspension. These covers reduce airflow resistance of the underside of the body when travelling at higher speeds.

The Stinger is shaped to
minimize fuel-consuming drag
and maximize stability
and control At the same time,
its structure, contours and
interior treatments are engineered
to isolate passengers from
noise and vibrations.

Kia's ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System),
that use advanced sensor and processing technology
to help make driving as safe and convenient as possible.
