Kia Stinger Now Available at Crown Kia

.

Not Built For the Faint-Hearted

Stylish, sleek and powerful, the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger, now available for sale or lease at Crown Kia, is already turning heads. Named as a finalist for the 2018 North American Car of the Year Award — the first time any Kia has been among the final 3 for the prestigious award — the Stinger not only elbowed its way to be mentioned among names like Audi, BMW and Porsche, it shoved them aside with extreme power, stunning good looks and a much more affordable price.

Is This Really A Kia?

The Stinger comes in 5 trims, ranging from the $31,900 base model to the $49,200 GT2. The base engine, a 2.0L 4-cylinder delivers 255 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

But where this gran turismo-style vehicle really shines for the power hungry is in its GT trims. The GT includes a 3.3L twin-turbo DOHC 24-valve V6 that makes 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. This kind of power rockets drivers from 0-60 MPH in just 4.7 seconds — faster than the 2018 BMW 440i Gran Coupe, 2018 Porsche Panamera RWD V6, 2018 BMW 640i Gran Coupe, 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2018 Audi A5 Sportback. Top speed is 167 MPH.

The Stinger also shines in fuel-economy. The base model gets an EPA-estimated 22/29 city/highway MPG while the GT models get an EPA-estimated 19/25 city/highway MPG

An Aircraft-Inspired Interior

Drivers in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater will have plenty of room inside its captivating cabin thanks to its lengthy 114.4-inch wheel base (among the longest in its class). With ergonomic, contoured, low-slung, standard leather bucket seats, drivers will not only be closer to the road, but held in place when hitting curves.

Its spoked air vents, the elevated dashboard's wing-like design and its floating display screen perfectly illustrate its aeronautic influences.
