2022 Kia Stinger Customer Reviews

Pros

• Power

  • Strong Performance: Turbocharged engine delivers quick acceleration and responsive handling

• Styling

  The cockpit feels refined and sporty, with intuitive controls and a layout that balances form and function.

• Weather Versatility

  With available all-wheel drive (AWD), it offers enhanced traction in rain, snow, and slippery road surfaces.

Cons

• Styling

  • Badge Bias: Despite its quality and performance, some shoppers may overlook it simply because it’s a Kia—not a traditional luxury or performance brand.

Pros

• Power

  This car has what my wife calls "sneaky power". It doesn't feel like you're driving fast because the ride is so smooth. And the get up and go is AMAZING!!!

• Cost to Maintain

  It's a Kia, the cost to repair things is very affordable.

• Styling

  Everywhere we go we turn heads, it's definitely an eye catcher.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  It can be a little noisy at times. However, we typically have the music on or family in the car so most of the time we don't notice.

• Weather Versatility

  This car sits low, very low. Be careful over bumps and don't drive if high water is possible.

Pros

• Power

  Tons of Power in Sport mode (this is the GT1 V6, not the Line (in-line 4)).

• Value

  Great bang for your buck. Pay $20k more for a European car like this one.

Cons

Pros

• Styling

  interior and exterior are beautifully crafted and compliment each other very well

• Ride and Handling

  fast acceleration and responsive steering

• Technology and Entertainment

  very convenient remote control of the car with Kia connect. sound system is superior and the wider touchscreen with this 2nd generation is the cherry on top

Cons

Pros

• Technology and Entertainment

  in the top-of-the-line GT2 trim, it has just about all of the bels-and-whistles of many of it's more expensive rivals, and they all seem to work flawlessly

• Braking

  With the 6 piston Brembos, the car stops on a dime

• Power

  Didn't opt for the AWD version, and glad I didn't. The car remains confidently planted even under heavy throttle, but the feedback from the rear as the car struggles for traction is pure excitement!

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  Not bad if you can stay out of boost

• Cabin Noise

  Could be a little more well insulated from road and tire noise (tire selection also plays a role)

• Interior Space

  It's still a sports car!

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  isn’t noisy at all

• Interior Space

  interior space is great. I typically only have a front seat passenger. I have set in the back just to get the feel for space and it’s great space if I did want to have rear passengers.

• Ride and Handling

  Ried and handles my driving great

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  I don’t feel that it’s goo on gas. I say this because I also have a Maxima Sport and I use Premium gas in both of my cars and the Maxima is a lot better with fuel.

• Technology and Entertainment

  I wish that I could have my car running and be able to Locke the door and run back in the house for something. I have to turn it back off because you can’t lock the car from outside if the car is on.

Pros

• Power

  no speed limiter

• Styling

  looks very nice

• Technology and Entertainment

  voice text and talk

Cons

• Ride and Handling

  rides very rough

• Cost to Maintain

  replacement parts are expensive

• Value

  44000 for a defective car
