Why the Kia Stinger GT S is one of the best used performance cars
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
At CarGurus UK, we rate the Kia Stinger GT S as one of the best used family performance cars you can buy. The reason for this is that it combines performance, practicality and peace of mind in a way that few other cars can match, particularly at the £25,000 price point.
In this video, CarGurus UK editor Chris Knapman revisits the rear-wheel-drive, 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 Stinger GT S to remember what makes it so great. He recounts the story of its development and launch, explores its practical side, and enjoys its finely tuned ride and handling. Additionally, Chris explores all the things that make the Stinger GT S such a compelling used buy, including its reliability, long warranty, and high levels of standard equipment.
Would you consider a Stinger GT S over more obvious rivals from BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz?

Pros
Thumping performance with a soundtrack to match
Refined and comfortable on the motorway
Loads of standard kit
Cons
Cabin materials don't match those of premium rivals
The twin-turbo V6 is thirsty
Kia badge lacks clout in the company car park
The CarGurus verdict
Brisk, comfortable, great to drive, stylish, and well-equipped, the Stinger falls short of the best-in-the class in only a small number of areas. Its cabin materials aren’t up to the standards set by the German opposition, and its badge doesn’t have the same clout in the company car park, but the Kia’s impressive value for money is impossible to overlook. For the price of a modestly powerful 3 Series, you could have a 361bhp Stinger GT S.
Kia hopes the Stinger will appeal to the heart as much as the head, and its style, driving dynamics, and performance make an exceedingly strong case for the former, but its value and warranty mean the head should feel pretty darned smug, too.

I'm on my second Stinger. Had the 2.0 originally when they first came out on lease. That went (sadly) and then I had a mk8 GTI - rejected that, had a 2.0 Optima GT (only 64 of them in the uk) loved that car but the stinger called me back and I went and got my current one, the 3.3 - the one I should have had from the start. Love this car
I own a GTS, can confirm its brilliant one year in!
Had one as a hire car a few years ago. A truly great car..
Liked the way you explained! You never tried to insist people to buy it like other people ! You never sucks the product to promote!! Well done bro 👊
I have a 2022 Stinger GT-Line and enjoy it every day. This car is comfortable and fast. 300 HP is sufficient for my needs here in Connecticut. Everything works great and the car is flawless. Kia gives you amazing cars for a reasonable price. Find one if you can.
Fantastic and informative video - a great buy for lovers of an 'Old School' Powerhouse! Thank you so much.
I just found out about the Stinger last week. Very cool car!
An excellent review, always liked them from new. Just the rear styling that’s a bit iffy, but a damned good car. Snobs out there will pay over the odds for German made, but more fool them.
I would bloody love one!!!
Great review of a sleeper car. Fantastic 😍 would love a drive sometime. Can I just point out that in parts of your review I could barely hear you, whether it be music in the background or the talking that's been done in a booth or something.

Kia’s sister company, Hyundai, changed its image with the i30N, i20N and so on. They have not sold that many of them either in UK … like the Stinger, the i20N and i30N were introduced into diminishing sectors. Astonishing though when you think of the Kia Sedona and the Hyundai Trajet, the latter of which I owned for ten trouble-free but forgettable years.
I love buttons. 🤣
I used to have this car for 2 years
The afterthought stuck on screen would drive me nuts. Prefer my focus st with its dash integrated screen. What a shame. Nice car, great review.
I have a 2021 kia stinger gt limited 3.3 twin turbo. Up for sale. $40,000. In Canada toronto
I would have preferred to hear the engine sound in more depth
I striped a wrecked one and transplanted its 3.3 drivetrain into a 3.3 AWD 2010 Santa Fe. Santa FastarFe on steroids.
There are a lot of buttons?! It's really not that bad.
Group 42 insurance in the UK.
Great car by the looks but still in love with my golf gtd . Best car I've ever had! And £20 tax! Bonus!

Definitely get stung with a discontinued car.

EU law stipulates that manufactures themselves need to supply parts for vehicles for a minimum of 15 years AFTER the production ends and the production has just stopped so Kia need to supply parts until at least 2038. Of course after that, aftermarket parts will still be available and the Kia / Hyundai group will be using parts from this car in other products for years to come so it’s likely that parts will be available for in excess of 15 years. You can still buy genuine parts for VW’s directly from them dating back to the 1950’s … so don’t think anyone is going to be “stung” by the fact it’s gone out of production 🙄
Money saving tip you can remap the 2.0ltr and wring 300bhp out of it.and sav 1000s
