We strongly applauded the presentation of the Kia Stinger in 2017. The Korean brand showed daring when launching a grand tourer with a certain sporty character for the first time in its history. After testing it, we could say that it had been a success and that they had done a good job. However, the current scenario seems to have no room for this type of more passionate vehicle. The proof is the arrival of the Kia Stinger Tribute Editionthe swan song of this unforgettable model.
Despite the fact that the Stinger was updated last year, the truth is that sales have not accompanied and Kia finally has decided to withdraw it from the market. It’s bad news for fans looking for that extra bit of character and personality, but the SUV trend and electrification seem to have finished dooming him. In this way, a special farewell edition comes out that is limited to 1,000 units Worldwide. It stands out for its unique configuration, with specific attributes and very complete equipment.
Its body can be chosen in the well-known color Ascot Green or in the exclusive moonscape, a very attractive shade of matte gray. In any case, elements such as mirrors, 19 inch wheels or the brake calipers are stained black for contrast. The configuration continues inside, where there is a terracotta brown leather upholstery that covers the sports seats, the steering wheel or the doors. In addition, a carbon-effect finish is added to the upper console deck and door panels.
This Kia Stinger Tribute Edition can also be recognized by its wasp-shaped logo that is embroidered on the headrests of the seats. It refers to the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine which is the only one available with the special edition. It is the one that corresponds to the top of the range, to the GT version, which achieves 366 CV and can only go with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and its top speed is 270 km/h. The only unknown that would remain for us to know would be how many units will arrive in Spain and what their price will be.
