Are you in the market for a new performance car that helps you stand out on the streets of Augusta, Georgia? Find a one-of-a-kind vehicle with the new 2022 Kia Stinger and it's turbocharged performance. Why should you pick the new Stinger? Let's compare this Kia sport sedan against rival models like the 2021 Honda Civic Type R and its similar turbocharged power. Check out as we compare some key highlights of these two mean machines below:
2022 Kia Stinger | VS | 2021 Honda Civic Type R |
---|---|---|
$36,290 | Starting MSRP* | $37,495 |
Automatic | Transmission | Manual |
36.4 Cubic Feet | Second-Row Leg Room | 35.9 Cubic Feet |
Available | Premium Sound System | Not Available |
22 / 32 | Fuel Economy (City / Highway)** | 22 / 28 |
15.9 Gallons | Fuel Capacity | 12.4 Gallons |
Look beyond the exterior design, and the 2022 Stinger is made for a smooth and comfortable ride. It also delivers a sport-injected experience, thanks to its 8-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters that provide a more versatile driving experience than the 2022 Civic R's 6-speed manual transmission. And you also get cool touches with the Stinger, like a D-shaped steering wheel, plus key safety features like Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. These technologies outclass the Type R, which does not come with this array of safety systems.
The 2022 Stinger is Kia's first-ever high-performance sport sedan, and it comes with plenty of technology and power, thanks to its available 368 horsepower and a 0-60 acceleration time of just 4.7 seconds! The 2020 Nissan 370Z sports car achieves a peak of 350 horsepower, a little less than the Stinger. The Nissan model falls far short in the technology and features department, like with its maximum 8-speaker Bose Audio system. The 2022 Stinger's available 15-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system is a masterpiece in comparison. The 2022 Stinger also checks in with a lower price for its V6 trims, edging out the 370Z's Touring and NISMO models.

Often, a new model is a better model since it offers the latest style, features and technologies available. The Kia Stinger recently proved this when it lit up the market with its debut, backing up its stunning design with aggressive performance and luxurious amenities. Nissan's 370Z is still an enticing car, but an aging one that is being replaced. Contact us today and schedule a test drive of a new Kia Stinger in Augusta, GA!

The sleek, spacious and powerful 2022 Kia Stinger faces unlikely competition from an undersized and underpowered sports car called the Toyota GR86. While Toyota brings affordable sports car performance to the road, its shortcomings are evident when compared to the new Stinger.
The 2022 Kia Stinger comes with 300 hp in its base 4-cylinder engine editions, which bests the 86's 228 hp by a wide margin. That's not all for the Stinger, which has a faster 0-60 time in its 4-cylinder version, with a 5.9-second sprint to 60 MPH, topping the GR86's 0-60 time by a significant margin. Of course, for even more performance, the Stinger lineup offers a 368-hp engine available with either RWD or AWD, while the Toyota GR86 offers just its standard 4-cylinder, RWD configuration.
The 2022 Kia Stinger also comes with amenities that suit both a driving enthusiast and someone who needs their car for a family trip. It's nearly 94 cubic feet of passenger space and 40.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity with the rear seating folded down help make the Stinger the clear choice for practicality, too! For comparison, the Toyota GR86 comes with a tiny 6.9 cubic feet of cargo space and a paltry 76.5 cubic feet of passenger room. Check out the new Kia Stinger when you visit Kia of Augusta!
