This show-stopping sedan has a carefully structured body style to improve performance while being stylish and sophisticated. It has a commanding presence that is being compared with the BMW 4 Gran Coupe and the Lexus GS.

And inside, it's a stand out. The Stinger comes standard with leather that is comfortable and durable. The interior also has a driver-focused center console with all the added technology and luxury you could want. The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system will connect you safely to the outside world.

And don't even get us started about performance. This Kia will launch you down Oklahoma streets to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. It also has a built in G-force meter to measure acceleration, enabling you to customize your ride.

2023 Kia Stinger: Final Year of Production

Kia has announced the discontinuation of the Kia Stinger, but the auto brand won't get rid of the model without a big finale of a special edition lineup. 2023 Stinger special edition models include the GT-Line and the GT2, both have available specialized packages, colors, and technology. Find the 2023 Kia Stinger GT-Line and GT2 for sale at Lawton Kia in Oklahoma. The Kia Stinger, like its previous predecessors, originated in 2018. Now, only 5 years into its production, the autobrand has announced that this is the Stinger’s final year. It’s not all bad news, though. In honor of the Kia Stinger and all its glory, Kia has a special lineup in store for 2023. Kia is rolling out special editions for both the GT-Line and GT2 vehicles. The GT-Line Apex Special Edition and the GT2 Grand Tourer Special Edition. To take the Kia Stinger GT finale to the next level, only 1000 units worldwide will be produced in Ascot Green finish. We’ve created this blog on your behalf what you need to know about the Kia Stinger final year of production. Before we jump into the Kia Stinger, make sure to follow us on social media to stay in the know of Lawton Kia! 2023 Stinger Models With a lineup consisting of the GT-Line and the GT2, consumers are able to pick between two stellar models. Both models come with specialized packages and choice colors. 2023 Kia Stinger GT-Line With all wheel drive, a 0-60 mph speed as low as 4.7 seconds, and 300-368 horsepower, the sting of 2023 being Kia’s last year of the Stinger is tragic. With the option of either a 2.5L four cylinder or 3.5 six cylinder engine, Kia lets you decide how many heads you want to turn on the street. The four cylinder engine averages 22 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway while offering a comfortable leathery spaced interior. The Kia Stinger GT-Line will have all its passengers longing for a road trip. Speaking of road trips, there’s no need to worry about trunk space because the Stinger out-ranked its competitors in cargo, and has the space to prove it. Although it is not quite a high end luxury sedan, the Kia Stinger GT-Line still competes in style, speed, and especially salary protection. Being the cheaper of the two 2023 GT series, it creates an opportunity for anyone to drive sleek and be a “stinger” on the road. 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 The 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 comes with a 3.3L twin turbo V6 engine, producing 368 horsepower, allowing a 0-60 mph speed of 4.6 seconds. Not to mention the exclusive suede interior that has red stitching and piping–what a combo. Being an upgrade from the Stinger GT-Line, the GT2 creates a persona around the competing Stinger car that consumers desire. Averaging 18 mpg within the city and 25 mpg on the highway, the GT2 comes in slightly lower than the GT-Line V4. This allows for consistent riding and distant traveling. The high performance Brembo Brakes and electronically controlled suspensions also ensures your ride is safe as you travel down the road. As previously mentioned, the Stinger GT2 will be releasing an exclusive 1000 units of the Ascot Green Grand Tourer package but that is not the only color or package that is purchasable. With seven different exterior paint selections and seven different interior packages your car GT will exemplify your persona on the road. Figure out which package fits you the best by stopping by our Kia dealership!

Kia Stinger wins the 2022 IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus Award

The 2021 Kia Stinger won the IIHS Top Safety Pick award, and the 2022 Kia Stinger won the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus award. The IIHS Top Safety Pick award only has 4 requirements, whereas the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus award has much more in-depth criteria in order to win--regardless, both awards are highly sought after. Find the 2021 and 2022 Kia Stingers for sale at Lawton Kia in Oklahoma. Kia has done it again and this time besting itself! The 2022 Stinger sport sedan has won the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus award. Last year, the 2021 Stinger won the IIHS Top Safety Pick award. Although they had won this award, the Stinger ratings were only good. This year the Kia Stinger moved up a level making the ‘22 Stinger one of the safest cars on the road. Difference Between The Top Safety Pick And Top Safety Pick Plus Awards The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick (TSP) and Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) awards are given to vehicles that perform amazingly in crash testing and other evaluations. TSP awards were first presented in 2006, while tougher TSP+ awards were first awarded in 2013. In 2020, the criteria was increased again, with even tougher standards for both TSP and TSP+ awards. Due to these stricter measurements, the list of 2020 TSP+ award winners was shorter than the list of 2019 winners. Top Safety Pick Award To win the IIHS Top Safety Pick award, a vehicle must pass 4 different criteria with at least a “good” rating in each category. The first criteria is the impact to the crash test dummy. The crash test dummy is set up with sensors to measure how impactful a crash is to a passenger. Obviously, the less impact to the crash test dummy, the better the score. The second criteria is survival space. The more space a person has after a crash, the better the score will be. The third criteria is airbags and more importantly, do the airbags work and have enough space to deploy properly. The fourth criteria is seat belt effectiveness. The better the seat belt does in keeping a person in the seat, again, the better the rating. The overall rating is based upon vehicle to vehicle contact. Top Safety Pick Plus Award For 2021 TSP+ award, the criteria has updates. First, a vehicle must have an “advanced” rating in each of the categories as well as an “advanced” rating in all categories for vehicle to pedestrian contact. Besides that, there must be crash prevention and upgraded headlights features. The criteria is tough to win the TSP+ award but having security is priceless The 2022 Kia Stinger The 2022 model year of the Stinger is refreshed inside and out. A 2.5-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine is included along with more horsepower for the twin-turbo V6. Interior and exterior design elements have also been optimized and improved. This new model year also has an increase in the number of standard Drivewise advanced driver assistance systems. These were previously not available across all levels of trims. This includes Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection, cyclist, and junction turning, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Follow Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Driver Attention Warning, and High Beam Assist. Sean Yoon, president and CEO of Kia North America, Kia America said, “The Stinger fundamentally changed the way consumers viewed the Kia brand … This latest Top Safety Pick Plus rating from IIHS validates Kia’s relentless pursuit of improvement and advancement, and perfectly complement the Stinger’s highly regarded performance capabilities” The 2022 Kia Stinger is the second Kia model to earn a TSP+ award following the 2021 K5,. The K5 earned its rating earlier this year. Kia vehicles with TSP ratings include the 2021 Forte, Soul, Sorento, Seltos, Sportage, and Telluride (when equipped with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights).
