2023 Kia Stinger
The Kia Stinger was Kia's rear-wheel-drive performance liftback, created to challenge the idea that the brand only built sensible small cars and SUVs. It has been discontinued and is no longer on sale as a new car in Australia, but it remains highly regarded by enthusiasts, especially in twin-turbo V6 form. The Stinger combined long-distance comfort, a large hatchback-style boot and strong performance with pricing that undercut many European rivals. It suits buyers wanting a fast, practical grand tourer with a distinctive place in Kia's history. Its appeal is performance and character, not just value.
