Beats The Competition
Kills most other sports sedans when it comes to price.
A truly unique design that stands out from a styling standpoint.
Our Take
Kia's Stinger proves that the company can do a true sports car.
The top trim level GT2 comes with a twin-turbo V6 that makes 365 hp.
Despite the car's sleek exterior, it's actually quite practical and easy to use.
Even in the base trim, the Stinger would be a fun car to own.
