When it comes to performance and affordability, I love a good sedan.
For manufacturers, having a good array of vehicle options in the fleet is always a priority. But having a nice bang for the buck as well as consumer interest is the sweet spot. Consider Kia. While Genesis is off doing its thing as the upscale brand of Hyundai, Kia fills the performance sedan niche with the Stinger.
A 3.3-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine leads the charge on the Stinger and one Kia should be very proud of. It’s powerful, it’s smooth, and it gets up and goes with no effort. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, all 368 horsepower seem to be in full motion, making this one nicely equipped sedan. As my GT2 packaged test Stinger included all-wheel drive, I knew I was in for a fun week.
