2018 Kia Stinger engine options

You may have heard that Kia is building a sports car, but what you may not know is how serious they are. One thing that will make it clear how important this sports car is to them, is what they pack under the hood. Find out what the 2018 Kia Stinger engine options are and what kind of power it will have right here.

Two engine options for twice the fun

The Kia Stinger doesn’t settle for just one impressive powerplant, but two. The base model and the Premium trim both come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. If you want even more, then the GT, GT1, and GT2 trims will deliver with a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6. If you didn’t associate Kia with power before, prepare to have your beliefs challenged.

Stinger 4-cylinder turbo performance

Even though this engine is the base model entry, it is still ready to blow some doors off with 255 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Impressively, this engine also manages 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Stinger twin turbo V6 performance

The twin-turbo V6 is really the star of the show though. With 365 horsepower and an even more impressive 376 pound-feet of torque, this four-door sedan not only has more power than most other sedans, but it also has more muscle than most muscle cars.

With this engine, the Stinger GT can propel itself from a dead stop all the way up to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. Combining all these stats together, and you have a performance sedan that will beat the Audi A7 Sportback, the Audi A5 Sportback, the BMW 640i Gran Coupe, the Lexus GS 350, and more in horsepower, torque, and 0-60 mph time.

How much will the Kia Stinger cost?

It’s more powerful, that much is obvious, but what about the cost? This is Kia, so of course you can expect affordability. The base model with its 2.0-liter turbo starts at $31,900. If you want the GT in all of its twin-turbo V6 glory, then the base price is just $38,350. Remember all those vehicles we listed earlier? Yeah, it’s more affordable than all of those too.
