NEW Kia Stinger 2021 review: a misunderstood bargain sports saloon
Рет қаралды 9,659
Күн бұрынThe Stinger has been updated for 2021 with a new infotainment system and some handy driverless tech. There’s also a new exhaust note to improve the old model’s dull sound.
The problem is it hasn’t really made all that much of a difference to the Audi A5 Sportback rival. In fact, the sound difference was so negligible that we couldn’t really get it on camera. Still, noise isn’t everything. The 361bhp 3.3-litre V6 engine in the Stinger isn’t the most characterful engine on sale, but the chassis it’s strapped to is really quite special. That’s because it’s been engineered by Albert Biermann, the mastermind behind BMW M and now Hyundai’s N division. So does that make the Stinger a proper drivers car? Or is it all show and no go?

Nice review. Overall, the best value for money car when price, warranty, standard equipment, driving experience and performance are all taken into consideration. I am biased, I love mine.

How good it is to hear someone talking sense. I have a new Kia Stinger and like you, I am appalled that they are phasing it out. When will people look beyond the badge and realise that the value for money this car is, is unbelievable. If Like you said I had all the money in the world I would still buy the Stinger for the sheer pleasure of a most exciting and exhilarating ride one could wish for. Perhaps they might consider toying with the Stinger in the Eco electric type vehicle in the future but please Kia, after all your hard work to get to the very top don't through it all away

A few inaccuracies. 1st it definitely does stay in Manual mode, or at least my 2020 does when in Sports mode 2nd I'm 99% sure that Europe DOESN'T get the variable valve exhaust? 3rd my god there is a massive difference between Comfort and Sport. Night and day. In sport the suspension is really hard for a start, in Comfort its a really comfortable GT car. It's also like a wild untamed animal in Sports mode it holds its gears and just wants to Goooooo 😊

Does yours have the drive mode custom ? seen a few reviews and it looks like it is missing in the UK version.

I agree, in comfort the car is so compliant and swift, in sport it does stay in manual and the suspension is a lot firmer and more controlled. Yes I am biased as I ordered one and am awaiting delivery

Why on earth would they not offer the AWD in the UK? The Japanese and Koreans do some strange inconsistencies with car speccing.
@darrenallen5760 2 жыл бұрын
It's to do with the packaging. They would have to make many changes to the car which wouldn't be financially viable giving the amount of units expected to sell in the right-hand drive market. Plus Rear wheel drive is so much more fun and makes it a true drivers car 😊

AWD is not possible on the right hand drive Stingers - the AWD would foul the steering rack.

@@TheRealCatof is that right. They look big on mine? Although the variable valve sound on sports mode must also not have made it in uk model. Sounds no different in sports mode outside 😩

Bargain what a lie. You can buy a Mustang for the same price. Tin can marketing new tech.

At least the Stinger will go around corners, when the Mustang come to a corner it has heart failure, also there is no room in the back seats of the Mustang roof line to low the Stinger mush better in the rear seats for passengers.....................
