The 2018 Kia Stinger
New Kia makes open road driving exciting

If you’re still seeing snow, your thoughts may be turning to the open roads as you long for an exhilarating drive to rid yourself of cabin fever. The 2018 Kia Stinger is just the car to set you free.

All New

Kia loves cars as much as you do, and that is why they have spent several years and a lot of passion to design, build and test the new Kia Stinger. The name alone should tell you what they were thinking as they were sculpting out its bold styling and creating parts that would make it quick and agile as you head into sweeping curves and winding roads that travel the same path as beautiful mountain rivers. Crisp and cool air and crisp and cool handling all combine to make this drive something that you long for rather than something you must do.

It takes an available 365 horsepower twin turbo 3-3-litre V6 to power this sleek and low-slung passenger car around corners. Billed as a fastback sport sedan, you can be sure that you won’t have to drive alone. In fact, there is plenty of room to take a family of five out on a road hugging adventure.

The standard engine is a 2.0-litre turbo four cylinder with 255 horses. Either engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

It has available all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive.

Inside and Out

The cabin is surrounded by an aerodynamically raked windshield that offers a bold profile. Other aerodynamic elements include wheel arch gills, an integrated rear diffuser and a smooth underbody that air glides off as you sail along the roads.

The Kia tiger-nose grille houses LED headlamps in the front, and the quad exhaust pipes are proudly displayed in the rear.

The interior has been designed for those who get into a car like this and just drive for hours on end. The cabin is resplendent in luxury and equipped with contoured seats that hug your entire body. Available Nappa leather covers just add another stroke of luxury to your experience.

The driver is the focus in this car, and Kia offers optional driver seats with air cell bladders in the bolsters and seat back for even more form-hugging comfort. Driving long distances is  refreshing when your body is securely cradled in comfort.

A dashboard built to inspire confidence offers  easy-to-see red-needled instruments within the combined analogue and digital dash. The centre console puts the infotainment and climate controls directly below the touchscreen for easy reach. This helps you keep your eyes on the road.

You’re going to love the how the leather-wrapped steering wheel fits your hands, and you can even read the G-forces from the dash along with other performance data.

More than a Ride

There are so many performance features in this sport sedan, it makes it easy to forget that it is still a passenger sedan.

Everything about it has been designed and built to exude speed and power, and it has been given a suite of safety features that make it stable and safe. Technology abounds in the driver alert system, the forward collision assistance system, autonomous emergency braking and more. Just as technology was used to create this exhilarating ride, it has been used to protect you and your passengers.

If your thoughts are starting to turn towards open road driving to shake off the winter dust, then the 2018 Kia Stinger makes a great escape vehicle. Stop by and see us today for more information on this or any other Kia in stock.
