The Stinger has been a frequent topic of conversation and source of raw excitement since its
release here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis, aptly touting its abilities on the track and athletic
style. Car and Driver offered up photos on their blog this week of the updated 2022 model
that should arrive in the States next year, with sharpened styling and a refreshed design. On
the front end are new LED headlights, while the rear now sports a cool new taillight design
that takes up the full width of the decklid.

The turn signals on the LED elements represent a checkered flag, and new 18 and 19-inch
wheels are also added. The GT model will offer larger exhaust tips and a rear diffuser, and
you'll also have the option of a blacked-out appearance package. Interior materials have seen
an upgrade featuring gloss black trim, metallic finishes, and contrasting stitching. The various
kinds of lighting were such a hit that there are now new colors, and the infotainment system
will upgrade from an 8-inch screen to a wider 10.25-inch unit.

The experts among Stinger fans out there guess that the current 2.0-liter turbo-four and 3.3-
liter turbo V-6 engines will be dropped to be replaced by the newer and more powerful 300-
hp 2.5-liter four and 375-hp 3.5-liter V6 turbo engines currently found in the Genesis G80. The
V8s that take up residence in the G80 and G90 produce 407 and 372 hp, and many car
enthusiasts out there would love to see Kia get in the fully-fledged muscle car mode and
create one based on the Stinger GT. Much like Dodge did with the Challenger and Charger, an
entirely different breed of fans would become righteously excited to see this happen.

flat-plane crank, similar to the Voodoo engine found in the Shelby Mustang GT350 and
GT350R. The sooner competitors are built, the sooner hefty and robust engines need to come
about to meet demand. The Stinger fully aligns with Kia's commitment to against the norm
regarding boundaries that have been traditionally affiliated with concepts such as design,
luxury, and performance. On top of the new appearance packages, higher trim levels can also
now be equipped with upgraded, wide-bore, bright silver mufflers and a performance-inspired
rear diffuser that boosts a more muscular appearance.
We are excited about the new Stinger model that is tautly-engineered and ready for action:
you'll find that there is just as much cargo room here as there is in some SUVs. With a
spacious interior and ability to add all-wheel-drive, this model has introduced many to the
industry-leading warranty, safety, and edgy sportiness of the Stinger.
