In recent years in the domestic automobile market, Kia can be said to have been greatly affected, and back to a few years ago, Kia's glory in the country is almost not inferior to Toyota or Honda, especially after the merger with Hyundai, it has greatly increased its strength, although the overall performance in these years is not as good as before, but it has to be said that Kia still attaches great importance to the domestic market. Just like the new generation of Kia Smart Run, after ushering in the replacement, directly reduced the starting price to a minimum of 119,900, in the face of domestic consumers can be described as full of sincerity, and compared to Kia Smart Run, this new coupe - Steinger to appear more eye-catching, pure imports but the minimum is only 279,800, and no matter from all aspects it looks no less than the higher positioning of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, open out, I think the grade is far more than the Audi A4L
The new Stinger's front face adopts Kia's usual "lion roar" style, the lines on the hood and the upper heat sink are muscular, and the new Kia logo is also placed on the hood. The "Tiger Mouth" grille has a ring of bright black trim on the outside, and the interior is a chrome lattice of "full of stars". The all-LED headlights have been re-equipped with a new shape, the dual lateral daily running light strip is quite distinctive, the near and far lights adopt a multi-cavity reflective structure, and the "honeycomb" turn signal is placed in the lower part.
Steinger's interior is mainly simple, and the overall design style is very different from other Kia models. The design of the steering wheel is relatively ordinary, and the three huge air conditioning outlets in the central control area look very Mercedes-Benz. However, compared to the appearance, Steinger's interior design is still too conservative, and it has not formed its own unique style. The interior materials are very high-grade, all over the metal and leather, the feel and texture are very good.
From the side, Stinger had a feeling of wanting to swoop forward. The large slipback of the C-pillar is the essence of Stinger. I also have to admit that although Kia's sales in the domestic market are average recently, the new overseas cars are still good, and the overall design level is above the independent brand.
The body size has not changed much compared with the current model, with a length, width and height of 4830mm/1870mm/1400mm, and a wheelbase of up to 2905mm, positioning itself as a B-class high-performance sports coupe. The side shape is smooth and dynamic, the beveled angle of the C-pillar creates a large sneaky visual effect, and the high-gloss chrome plating at the side windows adds a touch of luxury.
Both the 2022 Steinger GT1 and GT2 models are equipped with 3.3-litre twin-turbo engines, but the maximum power is increased to 374 hp and the maximum torque is unchanged at 510 Nm. In addition, Kia is supplying a new 2.5T four-cylinder engine for the 2022 Steinger GT Line model in the North American market, with a maximum power of 304 horsepower. It is reported that both power versions are available in the rear-drive and four-wheel drive system options. At the same time, the 2022 Steig is also equipped with an electronic variable exhaust system, and in sport mode, the exhaust sound will be more aggressive.
