Kia Stinger Has UK Launch

November 16, 2017 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Stinger has landed!  The big GT from the Korean marque has finally reached our shores and by all accounts it is well worth the wait.  It is the first grand tourer that Kia has produced as well as the first rear drive model that has been brought over to Europe.  Lastly (but certainly not least) is the fastest road going Kia ever.

Five versions are available in the UK, all with turbocharged direct-injection engines mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox and featuring state-of-the-art electronic driver aids and connectivity systems. The GT-Line and GT-Line S offer the choice of a 2.0-litre 244bhp T-GDi petrol engine or a 2.2-litre 197bhp CRDi turbodiesel, while the range-topping GT S has exclusive use of a 3.3-litre 365bhp twin-turbo V6. The GT S, as the fastest and most powerful model in the range, also has adjustable electronic suspension damping and Brembo brakes.

The Stinger is a classic grand tourer, not a hard-edged sports car. It harks back to an era when travelling was all about the joy of the journey and getting to the final destination could be an anti-climax.  “The Stinger has nothing to do with being the first to arrive,” says Gregory Guillaume. “This car is all about the journey. It’s about passion.”

The Stinger is available to order to now in the UK, priced from £31,995 on the road.
