2019 Kia Stinger engine performance

Of course, this is probably what brought you here. The Stinger’s calling card is and likely always will be its engine performance. No Kia model ever before has been as powerful and impressive under the hood as the Stinger, and there are a couple different options drivers can choose from. The Base and Premium trims come fitted with a 255-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine. While that amount of power is certainly enough to satisfy most people, those who really want to ramp up the power can do so by opting for a GT model. The GT, GT1, and GT2 trims all feature a 3.3-liter V6 engine powered by 365 horses. Yeah, that kind of horsepower will make you feel like a superhero. All trims are available with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The Stinger also boasts a respectable fuel economy. Depending on the engine type and individual driving habits, drivers can average up to 29 highway mpg, 22 city mpg, and 25 combined mpg.
