Kia’s confirmed its 3.3-litre Stinger will land in Australia for as much as $48,990.
The twin-turbo V6 powered sedan will land in three guises beginning with the S, moving through the Si at $55,990, and finishing with top-shelf GT at $59,990.
For reference an auto Holden Commodore SS is currently $700 dearer. And Ford’s Falcon XR6 Turbo with a six-speed auto bowed out at $45,690, or $3,300 cheaper, in 2016.
Kia won’t officially comment on how each model differs in specification but MOTOR understands a dealer bulletin leaked this year has already filled in the gaps.
Meanwhile inside all variants will at least feature push-button start, satellite navigation, cloth seats with leather bolsters, and Apple CarPlay.
The step-up from an S to Si in the Stinger range apparently brings 19-inch wheels, a larger sat-nav display, radar based safety tech, and a nine-speaker audio system.
Kia won’t reveal how much the optional factory-fitted exhaust will cost, but says it will be reasonably priced and offer more “burble” than the JUN B.L aftermarket system we recently found.
Over 100 buyers have made deposits on the Stinger GT ahead of its launch this October, with the large majority demanding the full-fat GT.
Without wanting to divulge all details before the model launch Kia has promised details on the less hyped 2.0-litre turbo four Stinger are to come.
