Kia has announced that the Stinger will hit U.S. dealerships this December, with a starting price of $32,795, as reported by The Drive. This base model features a twin-scroll turbo four-cylinder engine, delivering 255 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque, enabling the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.

Kia’s chief designer, Gregory Guillaume, commented, “The Stinger is not just about reaching a destination; it’s about the journey and the passion involved.”

For those who prioritize speed and performance, the V6 GT model may be more appealing, starting at $39,895. This variant boasts a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that generates 365 horsepower and 376 foot-pounds of torque, achieving 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds—faster, as Kia emphasizes, than a V6 Porsche Panamera. Moreover, the V6 Stingers come equipped with the company’s first electronically adjustable suspension, variable-ratio steering, and Brembo brakes on all four wheels.

Additionally, all-wheel drive is an option available for all Stinger models, priced at $2,200.

For those willing to invest more, the top-tier Stinger GT with all-wheel drive costs $52,595. This model features a 16-way power adjustable driver’s seat, a limited-slip differential, a head-up display, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. While spending over $50,000 on a Kia may require careful consideration, it is anticipated that well-equipped Stingers will present excellent value once they enter the used car market in a few years.

Here’s a complete breakdown of the Stinger pricing, as shared by a company representative:

  • $32,795 for base Stinger 2.0T
  • $37,895 for Stinger Premium 2.0T
  • $39,895 for GT 3.3 T
  • $44,395 for GT1 3.3T
  • $50,395 for GT2 3.3 T
  • AWD $2,200 for all models
