2021 Kia Stinger Trim Options
Kia Stinger GT-Line
For speed and power, Kia Stinger’s base model comes well-equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 255 horsepower. The GT-Line also includes 8-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters for a more versatile driving experience.
But the Kia Stinger was built for style just as much as it was built for performance. Some of these additional features include a leather seat trim with heated front seats, 7-inch touchscreen display, and wireless phone charging abilities. Pricing for the standard Kia Stinger GT-Line starts at $33,090.
Kia Stinger GT
It just gets better with the Stinger GT model! For starters, this trim option takes things up a notch with a 3.3L V6 Twin Turbo engine and 365 horsepower. With high-performance brakes and 19-inch alloy wheels, the Stinger GT is ready to take you anywhere you want to go. Its 9-speaker audio system, 8-way power passenger seat, and LED multi-color interior lighting will ensure you enjoy the journey just as much as the destination. Pricing for the GT model starts at $39,590.
Kia Stinger GT1
When it comes to the 2021 Kia Stinger, no detail was too small to be obsessed over — and the GT1 trim option is proof of that. The Stinger’s interior details alone are enough to stare at, but just in case, this model offers a wide power sunroof to provide even more beautiful views as you drive around town. Additional features include an 8-inch touchscreen display, ventilated front seats, a power tilt steering wheel, and a 7-inch color instrument cluster with sport gauges.
As for the GT1’s safety features, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go technology automatically adjusts your driving speed to maintain a safe distance between you and the car ahead of you. This trim option also features Lane Keeping Assistance that helps you maintain control if you get too close to lane markers. Pricing for this trim option starts at $45,490.
Kia Stinger GT2
Last, but certainly not least, the GT2 is the Kia Stinger’s most premium trim option available — and pricing starts at $50,390. Its surround view monitor showcases a birds-eye view of your car, as well as lane markings, curbs, and adjacent cars. Another notable feature is the GT2’s head-up display, which projects important information onto the windshield that can only be seen by the driver, allowing their eyes to stay on the road at all times.
How it Compares to the Competition
2021 Kia Stinger vs. 2021 Ford Mustang
When looking for a performance car, the Ford Mustang is a popular choice. Although there’s no denying the Mustang’s impressive performance capabilities, the Stinger is much more practical overall. First, the Stinger has four doors compared to the Mustang’s two-door coupe design. It also has more passenger room and an extra 40,000 miles of coverage in its warranty, making it a more sensible option for daily driving.
2021 Kia Stinger vs. 2021 Audi A7
The Audi A7 has a luxurious cabin and cutting-edge features that are sure to impress. However, the A7 is much more expensive than the Stinger, with base model prices starting at $69,000. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative without sacrificing luxury or performance features, then consider the Stinger instead.
2021 Kia Stinger vs. 2021 Subaru WRX
The Subaru WRX is another compact sedan that is known for its sporty exterior. Where the WRX lacks, however, is with its interior design. Not only does the Kia Stinger have a more attractive interior, but its base model also comes with a more impressive catalog of standard features, making the Stinger a better value overall.
