    If you go with a Stinger, I highly recommend the Eibach sway bars and Coil kits (both of which can be ordered and installed through Kia). About 2k total with labor and makes a significant difference in the handling of the car and given Kia does it, no warranty issues. Also the new coils lower the car about 1 1/4" which make it look even better.

    @@NBABY-J for a Kia and only lowering springs and a sway bar? YES. 1. The lowering springs and sway bar, given from the factory as an “upgrade” will always be soft compared to aftermarket. 2. Springs and sway bars on Euro cars that are more expensive, will cost you around $500-$1000 total...and they will be better quality and more aggressive. 3. Springs and sway bars don’t void warranty on almost all makes of cars. To pay $2k for this shows the lack of experience he has, or whoever chooses this option, in the car enthusiast world. Like I’ve always said, those who buy Stingers to try to be in the “cool car enthusiast crowd” are just people who have never owned a cool car in their life.

The combination of the new logo, wheels, full rear light bar, leather seat pattern, and infotainment were enough to sway me. The updates really refined the vehicle.

    I actually just replaced my 2018 Stinger GT2 AWD with an suv only because I needed a real suv. The hatchback is awesome, but still a tight fit. It was honestly the best car I’ve owned for the $$$. My only big gripe was the squeaks and rattles. Don’t forget, it’s still a budget car, and a new one at that. Maybe they’ve ironed out the flaws since the first year model I had, but the rear hatch panel and sunroof would rattle and squeak constantly after about 12k miles.

    Great review Jakub & Yuri! I wanna touch on your side bit about the D-AWD Drift mode. We in the US got the GTS in 2020 and it was marketed with Drift Mode, however i discovered that the 2018 GT1 AWD I bought was able to drift anyway, as I had it going sideways on a couple of occasions without really even trying. I honestly feel the entire ‘D-AWD’ thing was just a marketing gimmick to give the US a ‘Special Edition’ and mark up the cost 🤣, but any of us with AWD have the ability to drift anyway, so there’s that. You also asked if any of us with the previous Gen Stinger plan to upgrade to the 22’… I would say that I don’t plan to cuz I prefer the previous Gen 19” wheel design and the tail lights over the refresh. BUT, that GT Elite Suede Package y’all have in Canada is PRIMO, absolutely beautiful. I’m a huge fan of Alcantara! But it’s NOT available in the US!! If there’s a way I can my hands on one, I would def be willing to trade up. Is there anything y’all are able to do to help me make that happen??

    I just picked up a ‘17 Sportage and although not in the same ballpark what attracted to me it besides the styling is the simplicity and layout. Kia nails usability. While many of they other brands are eager to show off their trending cabins and looks which are cool on a test drive, they become annoying on a daily basis. Around my hvac it is finished in matte black which looks dull and down right boring but holds up way better than piano black all the other manufacturers throw around. Just an example.

    The most noticeable changes to me (besides the badge) are the diffuser and exhaust (those tips are humongoid!), taillights, wheels, seatbelts now red, and infotainment display. That being said, I still like mine (2019 GT1 AWD) and continue to enjoy and mod it to this day. :-) Would love to have them do a head-to-head between the 2018-21 vs 2022+ refresh sometime. Edit: one thing to note, and this applied to the 2018-21 GT and GT1s, that putting it in manual mode keeps it in that mode even at a stop. The GT2 with its throttle-by-wire would shift back to auto. Don't know if the 2022 GT1 is more in line with the GT2, or like the past GT and GT1. Edit #2: the exhaust in the 2022 is still too quiet IMO. I'm installing and aftermarket exhaust in mine (Borla) to give it the sound I've been wanting. For those of you that have seen Yuri and Jakub's original Stinger video 3 (!) years ago, they sample the Borla exhaust during their US trip.

    Am I the only one who likes the new tail lights better than the previous generations tail lights? The red and clear combo reminds me a lot of some late eighties, nineties, and early two-thousands, Japanese cars. Particularly older Lexus and Nissans. Actually, I like everything about it just a tad more than I did the previous generation, and I adore the previous generation! For the money, if you can get past the fact that it's a Kia (I can, no problem) they're truly great performance sedan bargains! Get one while you can, if you can, because performance sedans are becoming more and more difficult to find! As always, great review, boys!

    Very different story here in the US. The big news isn't the measly 3 hp upgrade in HP for the GT models but the massive improvements in the GT-Line with a new 2.5L turbo 4 (found in at least 7 KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis models including the K5 GT) that reduces the 0-60 mph time from about 6.5 seconds to 5.2 seconds. That puts it only about half a second slower than the GT models with the 3.3L engine with a huge savings in the price (around $40,000 fully loaded AWD). Meanwhile, the Genesis G70 cousin inexplicably retains the earlier 2.0L engine. Despite the universally positive reviews of the Stinger, sales have been disappointing in North America. KIA hopes (with good reason) that the base GT-Line with the new engine will energize those sales.

That's about the only thing I think makes the upgrade worthwhile, but an 8.3" infotainment is still plenty big enough in the pre refresh lol. And my GT Sport infotainment recently updated and is using the new tube ui for the radio and I hate it 😭 I miss the old one it was perfect.
