Kia Stinger: 2018 Motor Trend Car of the Year Finalist

Stinger was one of six all-new contenders for COTY this year, and other than the Model 3, it was the most anticipated. Opinions split on the performance of the turbo-four Stinger and twin-turbo V-6 GT. Some preferred the tactile handling of the less nose-heavy base model over the faster and power-slidable but heavier GT. Knocks? A few judges had issues with the lack of premium-ness of the interior, especially when compared against the widely praised stance, surfacing, and overall design of the exterior. Rough, uneven roads also brought out complaints of pitching, porpoising, and road noise.
