Kia Stinger
Kia isn’t exactly known for building sports cars, but don’t take that to mean that the Korean brand is just going through the motions with the Stinger. With a very dynamic style, this vehicle features a turbocharged, 2.0L four-cylinder engine generating 255 horsepower and 260 lb·ft of torque. The Stinger GT offers a twin-turbo, 3.3L V6 good for 365 horsepower and 376 lb·ft of torque. Solid performance guaranteed. Both powertrains will be offered with rear- or all-wheel drive.
