You can do much worse than the Kia Stinger in terms of having fun; the car comes with rear-wheel drive as standard and optional all-wheel drive. Kia aimed the Stinger at buyers with a lust for spirited driving, and we're happy to report that the 2022 Stinger is better than ever, primarily thanks to a healthy power upgrade in the base model. The entry-level Stinger does away with its 2.0-liter four-banger in favor of a 2.5-liter unit that pushes power from a decent 255 hp to a meaty 300 horses. This makes for a serious sleeper car; Kia estimates that the GT-Line will bolt from 0 to 60 mph in only 5.2 seconds and top out at 130 mph. The tried and trusted twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 engine also offers slightly more power for 2022 - 368 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque - and delivers a massive punch off the line thanks to all that low-down torque. The 3.3-liter car will skip to 60 mph in a claimed 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 167 mph when equipped with summer tires. We wonder why Kia didn't get the newer 3.5-liter V6 from the Hyundai Motor Group parts bin, but the 3.3 is still a charmer.2022 Stinger Performance Photos

The Stinger was meant to be fun for the masses, and Kia made this abundantly clear when it replaced the already competent 255-hp 2.0-liter four-pot engine with a turbocharged 2.5-liter unit pushing a significant 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels or optionally to all four via an eight-speed automatic transmission. We love that Kia lets you get RWD or AWD on both engines. This combination feels effortlessly quick but lacks the soulfulness of the 3.3-liter V6 engine. The GT1 and GT2 trim come standard with the twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 gas engine, including a strong 368 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. This engine has proven itself to be dependable and stupidly quick on the road. Peak torque hits at just 1,300 rpm, and the engine keeps pulling up to the 6,000-rpm peak. The eight-speed transmission is smooth in operation, comparing well to the industry benchmark ZF unit. In automatic mode, the shifts are imperceptible and in manual mode, it quickly changes cogs to enable maximum fun.2022 Kia Stinger Performance Specs
