The Kia Stinger GT Is Yours For £31,995 And Up
Fancying bagging yourself one of those fancy new Kia Stinger GTs? We’ve good news: UK order books open today, ahead of an early 2018 debut on our shores.
The base 2.0-litre ‘GT-Line’ turbocharged petrol will set you back £31,995, while the range-topping, 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 ‘GT-S’ is £40,495. The latter car comes in at around £5000 less than the BMW 440i Gran Coupe and Audi S4.
The entry point of the range is still reasonably quick, with a 244bhp output making 0-60mph possible in 5.8 seconds. The 197bhp 2.2-litre diesel (price unknown at this point) puts out 197bhp meanwhile, completing the benchmark 0-60mph sprint in a more leisurely 7.3 seconds.
The GT-S - the one you want - puts out 365bhp, dispatches 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, and tops out at 168mph. No 155mph electronic speed limiter shenanigans going on here.
GT-Line versions are decently equipped with a standard-fit 8.0-inch touchscreen sat nav system, a head-up display, a limited-slip differential and a whole bunch of clever safety systems. The 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel models can also be specced in ‘GT-Line S’ trim, adding features like a powered tailgate and a 15-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. The GT-S has all of the above, along with a few extras like electronically-controlled suspension and variable ratio steering.
US pricing for the Stinger GT was revealed last week, with the rear-wheel drive grand tourer costing from $32,795 - $39,895 on the other side of the pond.

oh come on kia, it looks so good from the front, why did you do that to the rear
The rear doesnt look that bad, BUT they should have lowered those lights a bit.
I think it looks better at rear than at the front
Wow, the Koreans are really stepping up their game now. The rear reminds me of the Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadroformaggio or the Dodge Charger.
The tail lights straight up look like it was copy and pasted
What’s an Alfa Romeo Giulia Four Cheese?
Okay then Johnny Lieberman lol
This looks really good
Am I the only one who thinks about this?
That’s really not a secret that they got inspired by the A7.
Not surprising really. They got their head of design from Audi
So. Having a rear end with lights and license plate on your car, makes you a copycat?
No, they copy that
I don’t mind. I love the design
“The 197bhp diesel puts out 197bhp”
Obviously

Well, in case of, say, McLaren, 720PS engine puts out near 800PS
AHAHAHAHAHAH
Wtf where’s all my upvotes gone. I was a better person with them
Cool seeing Kia get their game on ! The image improvement is already well on its way:)

See these driving around all the time. Beautiful car!
No you don’t.
I just realized how similar its rear is to the dodge charger
Issa beautiful
