Kia is producing the 2022 Stinger in three primary trim grades, GT-Line, GT1 and GT2. The entry-level GT-Line model will feature a turbocharged 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, making 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The two GT models will retain the same twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter, V-6 engine that was employed by previous versions, and it will continue to make 368 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. Both power mills will be attached to the Kia eight-speed automatic transmission and both engines can be paired with either rear- or all-wheel-drive. A Team Gunther Kia customer who chooses a rear-wheel-drive version of the 2022 Stinger can expect it to achieve up to 22 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway, models equipped with AWD will post 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. GT1 and GT2 models with RWD will post 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Adding AWD will knock one-mile per gallon off both GT models’ fuel economy score.
