Why the 2020 Kia Stinger Gives Pricier Sports Sedans a Run for Their Money

When you’re looking for an affordable luxury sports sedan, consider the 2020 Kia Stinger. The 2020 Stinger goes head-to-head with other sports sedans with racy styling, great performance, and modern technology that make for a pleasing driving experience. Here are several reasons why the 2020 Kia Stinger gives more expensive sports sedans a run for their money.

Solid Performance

The GT-Line features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 255 horsepower, and the higher trim levels, GT, GT1, and the GT2, have a 3.3-liter turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 365 horsepower. Both engines pair with an eight-speed transmission and let you go from zero to 60 in 4.7 seconds. This is a great car for when you want to pick up speed quickly. The all-wheel or rear-wheel drive and high-performance engineering of the 2020 Stinger provides good lateral grip and stability on a variety of terrain.

Racy Styling

The long body of the 2020 Stinger gives the car a handsome, sporty look. The roofline extends almost to the end of the body of the car. The well-designed hatchback in the rear adds practicality and ample storage space yet doesn’t give the Stinger a boxy look. Instead, it has an aerodynamic, streamlined appearance. The dark chrome accents, aggressive grille, and 18-inch wheels add to the sporty look.

Comfortable Interior

The hatchback design of this sedan means there’s plenty of cargo room. With the rear seats upright, you’ll have 23.3 cubic feet of space, and when the seats are folded down, you get a whopping 40.9 cubic feet of space. There’s an option for a sunroof and multi-color LED interior lighting accents that can help to change the mood. The leather-wrapped power-adjustable front seats come heated and provide for a comfortable, supportive ride.

Kia’s in-vehicle media controller, called UVO, powers the infotainment system on the 2020 Stinger and connects to your smartphone. The voice-controlled system allows hands-free functionality for music, phone calls, and text messaging. The 7-inch touch screen displays useful information, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and on the higher trim levels, you can listen to your music on the Harman/Kardon audio system. The 2020 Stinger comes with a wireless charging system for your mobile devices, a smart key with a push-button starter, and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Loads of Safety Features

The 2020 Stinger offers plenty of safety features. The car comes with adaptive cruise control, adaptive pivoting headlights, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, forward-collision warning, a driver drowsiness monitoring system, and a head-up display. Also included are lane keep-assist, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and a surround-view parking camera. To aid in driving stability are the traction control system, hill start assist, and electronic stability control system.

This fun-to-drive, powerful, sporty four-door sedan is a strong competitor in the luxury small car sedan category. With so many safety features, the 2020 Kia Stinger is the ideal car for those who want a high-performance sports car that provides a safe ride.
