TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2018 Kia Stinger

2018 Kia Stinger Available Features: Cons
YearComment
With the Stinger, Kia has checked off pretty much all of my personal must-haves, save one: unlike in the related Genesis G70, you cannot get a manual transmission. Then again, you cannot get a manual transmission in any of the Stinger's competitors, either. If Kia did want to hit the others where they aren't, the means is already in the corporate parts bin. Looking at features more broadly, Audi offers quite a few that Kia does not. On the performance front, teh S5 Sportback can be optioned with an active steering system and an active rear differential. The Stinger offers a conventional limited-slip rear differential, but only on the rear-wheel-drive top-trim GT2. The S5 Sportback's driver assistance technologies are more thorough and sophisticated. For example, its adaptive cruise control takes map data into account, at low speeds the car is capable of semi-autonomy, and at higher speeds the car can often keep itself in the center of a lane. The Audi offers a 360-degree camera system. While many Kias also offer such a system, the Stinger does not. The S5 has Audi's highly reconfigurable LCD instrumentation. The Stinger has conventional instruments, albeit with a large driver information display between them. The Audi's infotainment system includes handwriting recognition. The Audi's rear seat air vents have automatic climate control, while the Stinger's have only a hot-cold manual temperature control. And so on. In its favor, the upper trim levels of the Stinger have a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, while the S5's is manual. Overall, you can get about $4,000 in additional stuff on the Audi. But how much of it is of value to you? see full Kia Stinger review
