Yes, it's a Kia. Yes, you might want one. No, this 'Gran Turismo' model isn't merely a copy of something German. This is the Kia Stinger. The looks don't lie. Here, we look at the original 2017-2021-era version of this car as a used buy.
History
Did you ever imagine that one day, Kia would bring you something like this? The company itself did. What we have here is their so-called 'Gran Turismo', the Stinger.
Even now, it still looks quite something. But prior to the Stinger's original launch back in late 2017, Kia had been laying the ground work for it for a long time, with this basic design first shown as a 'GT Concept' prototype at the Frankfurt Motor Show way back in 2011. It came with quite a development pedigree too. The stylist, Frenchman Gregory Guillaume, was responsible for the jaw-dropping first generation Audi TT. As for the guy who led development of this car's road dynamics, well for those, you can thank Albert Biermann, who until 2014 was Head of BMW's M Performance division.
Guillaume says his inspiration for this design lay in the Grand GT models he saw as a boy back in the early Seventies as they rushed past bombing down the Autoroute du Soleil to the South of France, cars like the original Giugiaro-designed Maserati Ghibli. What that translates into here is a very interesting look indeed, the stylised five-door hatch body shape closest in concept to sportier versions of mid-sized executive contenders like Audi's A5 Sportback and BMW's 4 Series Gran Coupe. Kia not surprisingly saw both these cars as close rivals, but also thought that what's on offer here could appeal to people tempted by sleeker premium sports saloons in this segment like Alfa Romeo's Giulia, Volkswagen's Arteon and Jaguar's XE.

It is still beautiful after years😊
This underrated beauty is my dream car
Me too. My brother had one as a company car because they wouldn''t let him buy a Euro like a BMW or Audi. So he told them he'd buy a Kia. He he. What a car. Beauty. Quality. Speed. 400bhp or thereabouts. It went like a scalded cat. Hi from NZ.
me too
Just bought a blue 2018 gt2 awd with 61k miles for 27.5k USD out the door. I absolutely love this vehicle.
This is like a jewel, a diamond, that you wear and keep 👏🥂
Have had mine for fifteen months. Still absolutely love it to bits!❤
Great to hear!
Just got a 2019 GT2 with that exact color combo shown in the video. Ghost grey, Red leather, and carbon interior trim. Mine came with injen intakes and borla exhaust. It sounds and drives like a beast!
Great bang for the buck!
Just got one not long ago i love it
No kudos! Period, unfortunately, I own this vehicle, lovely. Thank you 😊
I have a gt2 2022 and love it.
I really want one 😊
I have a '20 I love it
BMW BENZ AUDI KILLER from Korea
id like one but it seems too boaty to me especially around corners . And all that size the v6tt still isnt enough unless your really modify it and what irks me is Australia does not get the awd version smh
They are much better looking, handling, and much faster than any Subaru wrx
What would you get for a similar price?
All u need is a simple jb4 and that v6 tt becomes a beast!!!
No offense but even though it’s a cool car , there are cooler cars out there for the money they are asking for. KIA isn’t a brand that I’ve ever wanted to be behind the wheel of . It looks nice but it’s a KIA sorry . If GEO made this car would you be lining up to buy one? Most wouldn’t .
Which cars are you referring to? I'm in the market and the stinger is at the top of my list but I'd like to see other options
I would buy one, i drive cars because i like them, don't care who makes it. Shouldn't worry about what people will think of you.
Kia isn’t the same company it was 5 years ago.
