*TO CLARIFY* - Everywhere except North America, this is the 2021 model year. HOWEVER, because the 2022 Kia Stinger is trending on KZfaq, I have to put 2022 and not 2021. So in Australia, this is a 2021 Kia Stinger GT = North American 2022 Kia Stinger GT2 🙂

Excellent review and well said. I’ve driven one since 2018. This update addresses all of my relatively minor concerns (primarily interior quality). But I haven’t looked back, or regretted the decision. The badge snobs are honestly not driving enthusiasts if they can’t bring themselves to look at this car. They just want the badge. Well, enjoy the high price and insane service costs 3 years in.

Great review, you hit the nail on the head with your comments about it being a jack of all trades. I now have my 2nd Stinger GT in Panthera metal which looks awesome. As an aside I sold my 2017 GT after the lease expired and got great money for it and the phone did not stop ringing so resale value will not be an issue . Apart from scheduled services I have not put a spanner on my Stingers , I certainly can't say the same of the Fords and Holden's I have owned.

Hello from the UK and great review Matt and I was as happy as that last Thursday when I picked my new Stinger up. What a fantastic car. I had a BMW 330d Xdrive for 4 years and while it was a great car this is better especially long distance refinement and cruising and ok we know the beast under the hood takes care of itself. The kit list as standard yip that’s a winner to it. Keep up the good work and let’s fly the flag for the Kia Stinger.

Great 2021 Stinger GT review, I like how you mentioned the massive shift to SUVs and all the badge snobs out there, which affects low Stinger and sedan sales, defintely you get alot for your money, I have owned a Stinger GT over 3 years now, I love it more now than ever, I can't believe how rare it still is on Aussie roads, which I love about it, and I'm sure people stare at it more than all those German luxury brands , which are so common these days, they are almost like the good old Fords and Holdens which still swarm our streets,and don't get a second, or even first look, the encounters I have had on the road, the Mercs, BMW and Audi owners seem scared to look my way, very intimidated and have never taken me on, imagine how humiliated and embarrassed if a Kia left them in the dust, anyway, I imagine your done with the Kia Stinger now that you have reviewed this 2021 model, but if your ever interested to do a comparison review between old and newer versions, I'm in Melbourne also, and I have an early 2018 model. Ohh, also from Facebook group.

Then there’s the enquires I get in other situations. Two in the one place last weekend with the closing comment that the lady concerned loved my fancy car and was it new. In my ownership of this car, I’ve had to get used to the stares and other cars racing up behind me and sitting on my tail to get a good look at the car on the road.

By the way…not entirely sure it’s the people’s choice to go SUV mad; it’s the dealers/manufacturers that have pushed the population to by SUV’s because that’s all they want to offer us to buy in Australia - it’s dealers calling the shots and limiting choice and I don’t think that’s fair…so many better global choices that we don’t get offered here.

I deadset wanted to buy one of these however found the cabin area to small, cramped and dark. If the Stinger had the room and space of a Falcon or Commodore I’d be driving one now. I ended up buying a Skoda Superb Scout that has a lot more people & luggage space, more comfortable for big Aussie’s, much better economy with only a slight reduction in performance (actual 0-100kmh in 5.4 seconds using launch control). I still like the look of the Stinger, hope sales improve and they are successful for Kia.

Just letting you know the my22 model in Australia will most likely receive a digital instrument cluster as other models such as the Carnival. This wasn't added in these models due to covid.

That is good to know! I've got the carnival now and did know that for the carnival, but not the stinger 🙂

Does that mean that orders for new Stingers (to arrive in 5 months plus) WILL have the new logo and instrument cluster?

I have no issue with the KIA company at all. They have produced good value cars with spectacular Warranties and dealer support. I have on the other hand owned from new; Audi Quattro, and two 5 series BMW's .. The Audi had a major failure within the first 5 hours! No one had thought to check the engine oil during the costly dealer delivery process! It was plagued by faults that the dealer could not fix! BMW, ..... Where do I start, ..... 3 pages of faults, major transmission issues at 22k Kilometers, .... Dealer denied the issues! That ended up in court! Massive depreciation! First BMW, ... electrical issues, vehicle would just stop! ... couldn't be fixed! German warranties are very short, ... Have you ever thought why? Porsche 3 Years! (They clearly don't expect them to last!) The Germans have a long way to go to catch up with Korean built vehicles. I will never ever look at German rubbish again. The Koreans have so much to offer, ... at a fraction of the cost and hold their values just like German brands DON'T.

Wow you must be beyond #*-@ 😡. We were lucky. Ordered a MY21 GT snow Pearl white, red leather in late March 2021, delivered 5 May! Build date April ‘21 . We were told 5 months in March, but Apparently KIA Korea had a large order for the white with red interior from Aust so ours was already in the production pipeline. Idk 🤷‍♂️
