起亚在北美车展正式发布了期待已久的Stinger轿车。这款量产版车型衍生自起亚在2011年法兰克福车展发布的GT概念车。该车标配一台2.0升四缸涡轮引擎，功率255马力，扭矩260磅-英尺（约合352牛米）；更高端版本搭载3.3升V6双涡轮引擎，功率365马力，扭矩376磅-英尺（约合510牛米）。这两台引擎都搭配八速自动变速器。后轮驱动为标配，但可选装全轮驱动。后者配备动态扭矩矢量控制系统，而前者采用机械限滑差速器。起亚表示，Stinger V6车型0-96公里/小时加速时间5.1秒，最高时速167英里（约合269公里）。该车采用新的平台，轴距比奥迪A4、宝马4系Gran Coupe和雷克萨斯GS都更长。车身整体长度为190.2英寸（约合4831毫米），宽度73.6英寸（约合1870毫米）。该车配备新的动态稳定减震控制，这也是起亚首次提供这类系统。它提供五种驾驶模式，包括个性、经济，运动、舒适和智能。电子助力转向经过调校后据说操控更加锐利。该车还提供了多种安全和便利性配置，包括自适应巡航控制，紧急制动和车道保持辅助等。
2018 Kia Stinger is a stylish gran turismo with biturbo V6 power
Kia has formally unveiled its long-await Stinger sedan at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The production Stinger traces its roots back to the GT concept Kia introduced in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The production Stinger comes standard with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder developing 255 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. An up-rated model will also be offered; it'll uses a twin-turbocharged 3.3L V6 that boosts power to 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. Both mills will come linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive will be standard while all-wheel drive will be optional. The latter comes with a Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control system while the former uses a mechanical limited slip differential.
Kia says the Stinger V6 will be capable of accelerating from 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and hitting a top speed of 167mph.
The Stinger rides on a new platform with a wheelbase longer than that of an Audi A4, BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe and even the Lexus GS. Overall the Stinger stretches 190.2 inches and measures 73.6-inches in width.
The Stinger uses a new Dynamic Stability Damping Control, which is a first for Kia. The system comes with five drive modes - Personal, Eco, Sport, Comfort and Smart. A rack-mounted Motor Driven Power Steering system is said to return sharp handling.
On the tech front the Stinger will be available with a long list of safety and convenience features, including adaptive cruise control, emergency braking and lane keep assist.
