The all-new 2018 Kia Stinger was revealed last month at the North American International Auto Show. It’s now on display at the Chicago Auto Show for everyone to get a closer look, and our team here at Kia of Irvine is doing exactly that. We’re going to share exclusive images from the auto show as well as provide details on the performance capabilities and available features.
This entry-level luxury sports sedan is the first from Kia, but it gets some of its inspiration from the K900 flagship sedan. The Stinger offers seating for five, and it has a sleek and stylish design that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Some of the major competitors for this model will be the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series and the Lexus IS. Drivers can expect the Stinger to be available in late 2017.
