2022 Kia Stinger GT-Line First Drive Review | Not just the 'cheap' Stinger:
While all the GT trims feature the V6, which is only slightly updated for 2022, the four-cylinder is exclusive to the GT-Line trim and vice versa. Output for the 2.5 is 300 hp and 311 pound-feet of torque, substantial increases of 45 horsepower and 51 pound-feet of torque over the old engine. And as you'd expect, it makes the Stinger GT-Line quicker than its predecessor, with the manufacturer's 0-60 mph time listed as 5.2 seconds versus 5.9 for the old car.
Fuel economy improves, too, but not nearly to the same degree. When equipped with the standard rear-wheel drive, the Stinger GT-Line manages 22 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway and 25 in combined driving. The previous four-cylinder only got 29 mpg on the highway, though city and combined ratings were the same.

When it's out of boost, it doesn't feel painfully slow thanks to its increased displacement, and the boost builds more rapidly. It comes on smoothly, too. The V6 tends to wallop you with its turbos. It's exhilarating, but isn't always welcome, especially if you're trying to be smooth and precise. So the smoothness and controllability of the four-cylinder is quite nice.
Complementing the peppy four-pot is the eager, pointy nose. Having two fewer cylinders, just one twin-cam cylinder head and just one turbo means there's far less weight on the nose. As such, the Stinger GT-Line is more willing to sniff out apexes. The car feels better balanced, too, rather than feeling like the back end is much lighter. These are all great things when it has such a fantastically communicative chassis paired with super-quick and precise steering.
The Stinger is also really well equipped. The GT-Line looks exactly the same as its V6 siblings, save for the wheel designs, so you don't lose anything in terms of style. Inside it gains
