One car is making some serious buzz here in late 2017 — it’s the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger. Featuring a head-turning appearance and the choice of two vigorous engines to back it up, this brand-new Sportback sedan is ready to take its seat at the high-performance table.

Find out what makes the new Stinger a different breed before it swarms showrooms soon.

3 Specs That Make the Kia Stinger Worth the Wait

Design

The new Stinger looks unlike any other Kia on the road. Its aggressive yet refined aerodynamic exterior sculpting is highlighted by a long hood and tiger-nose grille. But that’s just the outside. The Stinger’s cabin is also as sweet as honey. Nappa leather bucket seats and a bevy of convenience features await every drive.

Performance

The new Stinger doesn’t bumble. Thanks to an available Twin Turbo V6 engine that cranks out up to 365 horsepower and 376 lb.-ft. of torque, this sports car roars confidently. A next-gen 8-speed automatic transmission and Drive Mode Selector allow you to shift seamlessly between driving experiences. And available Brembo® brakes give you sport-tuned control while doing it.

Safety

The Stinger is a sedan of steel — literally. For reinforced safety to match the Stinger’s exceptional performance, Kia engineered the frame of this Sportback with Advanced High-Strength Steel. And for added security, the experts at Kia have thrown in technology like Cornering Brake Control, Hill-start Assist Control, and the Traction Control System. Oh, and did we mention that the Stinger offers a host of other available safety features?
