Meet 2022 Kia Stinger - The Next Step Into The Automaker's Future

The Korean automaker claims that its 2022 Kia Stinger is faster than BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. The teaser released earlier this month offers a fun-to-drive sports sedan with subtle styling changes. Also, there's the interesting fact that the facelift wasn't necessary since the initial version was a very pretty sedan.

After the official unveiling, there were more details revealed. The 2022 Kia Stinger has a new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine which is delivering at least 300 horsepower and up to 422 Nm of torque. The upgrade of the engine along with its performance numbers is the most expected.

The Stingray has its engine coupled to an eight-speed automatic and optional rear- or all-wheel drive and reaches 0-60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. This model also has great ratings economy figures for its engine work - 22/32/25 mpg city/highway/combined for the rear-wheel-drive, and 21/29/24 mpg in all-wheel-drive. It's economical but less-powerful.

There's also the range-topping 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 that suffered several modifications to produce 368 hp and 510 of torque. Meanwhile, they added an electronic variable exhaust system that assists the car in performing 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds.

Do you agree that the 2022 Kia Stingray is quicker than a BMW 330i as mentioned above?
