7. Kia Stinger
One of the biggest surprises for 2018 is the new Kia Stinger, and car enthusiasts are already crazy about it. So, how is it possible for a boring brand like Kia to generate such hype? It looks like the Korean brand has introduced a genuinely good-looking, fast, powerful and affordable sports sedan. Basically, Kia has made the perfect BMW, since BMW has moved on to more luxurious, heavier and expensive models.
The Stinger has rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive, which is new for Kia’s non-SUV models. Under the hood, there are two engines. Their turbocharged four-cylinder will deliver 255 HP and their twin-turbo V6 will pump 365 HP. The acceleration times are up to 60 mph in around 4.9 seconds for the twin-turbo V6 version. This is respectable for any model, especially coming from an economy car bran,
such as Kia.
The Stinger will also come with a nice selection of standard equipment and a long list of optional extras. Nobody expected this move from Kia, but the automotive public is excited about the Stinger. In fact, it is one of the most anticipated car premiers for 2018. Kia has not revealed any information on the pricing, it will most likely be a lot less than the comparable Audi or BMW 3-Series.
