2022 Kia Stinger GT review

The Kia Stinger has been around for a while now, but its appeal isn't fading. It's a comfortable alternative to the classic Aussie sedan.

Pros

Twin-turbo V6 is a torquey beast
Comfortable, luxurious interior
Spacious boot beneath liftback

Cons

Tight rear seats
V6 never raises its voice
Infotainment is good, but not great

2021 Kia Stinger 200S review

Kia’s most affordable Stinger proves that a classy large five-door can be had on a budget, if you’re happy to skim on frills and performance.

2021 Kia Stinger GT review

Kia has massaged its flagship for 2021. With a revised look, punchy engine, and comfortable cabin, it's still an excellent highway cruiser.

2021 Kia Stinger GT-Line review

You may have forgotten but Kia also offers a four-cylinder Stinger in addition to that superb twin-turbo V6, even if most buyers opt for the latter.

2020 Kia Stinger GT Night Sky Edition review

The Kia Stinger GT is still one of the best bang-for-buck performance buys, and the Night Sky Edition adds a touch of class and rasp to the experience.

2020 Kia Stinger 330S review

The Kia Stinger 330S deserves to sell a lot better than it does. What else has hatchback versatility, excellent handling and twin-turbo V6 grunt for just over $50k?
