Kia introduced an exciting new model this year: the 2018 Kia Stinger, a high-performance sport sedan that's based off the Kia GT Concept. It's poised to redefine a segment that's currently populated by European automakers and is the highest-performance production vehicle in the company’s history, while possessing Kia Motors’ industry-leading quality and reliability. With luxurious accommodations, multiple high-performance engine and drivetrain combinations and a wealth of advanced technology, the 2018 Kia Stinger delivers an incredible driving experience. Come check it out at Kia Marin in Novato, California!
The beautifully designed 2018 Stinger really grabs your attention. It has a muscular look, from its sleek front clip through its svelte flanks, and up to its powerful haunches. Key to its road presence are the rear-wheel-drive proportions, with a long hood and short front overhang, an extended wheelbase to deliver a spacious cabin, and a long rear overhang with strong shoulders. Kia’s signature "tiger-nose" grille sits proudly between complex LED headlamps, while the rear valance houses four oval exhaust pipes.
