Kia has built a name in recent years for good value SUVs, small hatchbacks and lately hybrids. The Kia Stinger GT is a tremendous car from Kia. It’s a first attempt from the brand at luxury performance but a genuinely convincing car that doesn’t disappoint in terms of performance, quality and design.
Inside it’s a large car with seating for five and a boot that opens like a hatchback. The quality is a serious step up from anything else in the Kia range. The GT line model gets leather seats with lots of soft touch dash materials. The cabin is focused around the driver and the driving position low and sporty. Infotainment is provided via a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
This is a heavy car but it feels nothing other than quick and ultra-responsive, while rear wheel drive brings superb agility to the car’s handling.
The steering set-up is noticeably good too with accurate weighting and feedback. The big Kia slips through corners easily and with grace, while the 440Nm of torque from the 2.2-litre CRDi diesel engine will push you back in your seat. It’s also a refined and comfortable long distance cruiser but bags of fun when you’re pushing on through corners.
