Kia Stinger GTS raises the bar for sports sedans with Limited Edition
The team at Kia came to the New York Auto Show this year eager to showcase their latest version of their highest performing Kia sport sedan – the Stinger GTS.
Just two years in the competitive sport sedan segment, Stinger has captured a serious following of enthusiasts who appreciate its styling, performance and price of a well-crafted sedan loaded with amenities and technologies that enhance the drive experience.

Stinger GTS Special Edition
Under the hood and on the road, the Stinger GTS will stand out from the pack says Kia.
Stinger GTS is powered by their 3.3L V6 Twin Turbo pushing out 365 horsepower with 376 lb.-ft. of torque delivered through an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine, in a RWD Stinger will do 0-60 mph in just 4.7 seconds.
The ‘secret sauce’ in the Stinger GTS Special Edition is a new version of its AWD system. Enhanced with RWD performance elements, the Dynamic All-Wheel Drive system (D-AWD) amps the road performance of Stinger GTS notably – says Kia.

A mechanical limited slip rear differential has been added to the DAWD system to enhance traction and distribute power more evenly between the rear wheels when slip is detected.

Its Drive Mode Select system has been tweaked to amplify rear-biased dynamics.
- Comfort Mode puts 60 percent of power to the rear wheels
- Sport Mode ups the rear-wheel bias to 80 percent of power
Drift Mode sends 100 percent to the rear and holds gears without upshifting.
