- Disclosure: Kia Motors America flew me out to LA on an all expenses paid trip to experience the Kia Stinger. This does not shape my opinion in this post. All my opinions here are sincere.
Oh. My. God. If ever there was a time to be in the driver seat of a Kia, that time is now. Forget everything you think you know about the thirty-year-old Korean auto brand because the Stinger is here, and she’s coming in hot! The Kia Stinger is not turning heads it’s whiplashing them.
Yesterday I attended the Kia Stinger National Introduction event in North Hollywood where I got an inside look at the hottest car of 2018. I repeat, THE HOTTEST CAR. I learned everything about the Stinger from concept to launch, I spent an entire day driving it through the Angeles National Forest and even took it to a test track to compare it to cars that I can’t even believe it compares to given its price point.
You won’t believe what I found out.
From its design, comparisons, to its official pricing, I’m here to give you all the deets. But first, I want to tell you what it’s like driving the Stinger for the first time.

I’m not a sports car enthusiast. And by this I mean, I don’t follow them, I don’t have a car calendar in my office and I don’t know what makes one sports sedan better than another. All I have to go on is what a car feels like, what it looks like, its safety & technology, what it’s going to cost me, and how it makes me feel behind the wheel. So allow me to sum that up for you with regard to the Kia Stinger; POWERFUL, SEXY, CONFIDENT, AFFORDABLE, BOSS.
At first approach, I about fell over myself as I set my lasers to the rows of Stingers before my eyes. Right there on the spot, it was love. From the GT’s Brembo brakes to its 5th-door trunk cargo space, this car literally whispered into my ear “milk runs are for mom bosses.” But enough about my near drool-in-public experience. Let’s talk shop.
