2018 KIA Stinger Premium RWD

SLEEK, SPIRITED, OFF-LEASE, NONSMOKER, SPORT SEDAN STYLE! The 2018 Kia Stinger announced Kia's arrival in the sport sedan segment with a genuinely striking, fastback-inspired silhouette that still turns heads today. This Premium-trim example, finished in deep Aurora Black, pairs that dramatic styling with the everyday usability that made the Stinger such a surprising standout when it first launched. Despite its coupe-like roofline, the Stinger is actually a five-door liftback underneath, meaning this car opens to reveal a genuinely useful rear hatch and cargo area rather than a traditional trunk. It is a detail that catches many first-time owners off guard in the best possible way, delivering wagon-like practicality without ever looking the part. Rear-wheel drive underpins this Stinger's driving character, giving it the natural front-to-rear weight balance and playful handling that front-drive competitors in this price range simply cannot match. It is a meaningful part of why the Stinger earned comparisons to established European sport sedans right out of the gate. WHY SHOPPERS BUY THIS MODEL The Kia Stinger arrived as a genuine surprise in 2018, a first-ever sport sedan from a brand better known for value-oriented family cars. Buyers were drawn to it not because it was the safe, expected choice, but because it delivered European-rivaling style, a properly sorted chassis, and a genuinely upscale cabin at a price that undercut the establishment by a wide margin. Automotive journalists and cross-shoppers routinely compared the Stinger favorably to the Audi A5 Sportback and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, praising its confident handling, strong turbocharged power delivery, and interior quality that punched well above its price class. For buyers who wanted genuine driving engagement and head-turning design without the premium-brand price tag, the Stinger became an easy case to make. AUTOMOTIVE PRESS AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION The Stinger earned widespread critical acclaim as Kia's most ambitious model to date, with reviewers consistently highlighting its confident chassis tuning, strong turbocharged engine lineup, and surprisingly upscale cabin materials. Development on the Nurburgring gave the Stinger genuine credibility among enthusiast media, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about new nameplates of its model year. Named a finalist for the 2018 North American Car of the Year award, one of only three vehicles selected that year. Widely praised by automotive journalists for delivering genuine European-rivaling driving dynamics at a value price point. WARRANTY The odometer is hovering around the 68,182-mile mark. Based on the original registration date of March 15, 2018, this Stinger is well beyond Kia's transferable factory coverage window on both a time and mileage basis, so no factory warranty protection remains active on this vehicle. With generally favorable mileage for a car of this age, it should have many dependable miles remaining ahead with continued routine maintenance. Extended service plans may be available to provide additional peace of mind moving forward. STANDARD FEATURES The Premium trim builds meaningfully on the base Stinger, adding LED headlights, a power sunroof, a power-adjustable steering wheel, a larger driver information display, and a universal garage door opener. Buyers who step up to Premium get a noticeably more complete, upscale package without yet moving into GT V6 territory, making it a strong middle-ground choice for shoppers who want the Stinger's style and handling without the higher price and fuel costs of the six-cylinder models. INSTALLED OPTIONS Remote Start with Push Button Ignition Lets you warm up or cool down the cabin before ever stepping inside, a genuine everyday convenience through hot summers and cold winters alike. MECHANICAL FEATURES Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 255 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. It is a genuinely eager engine, with strong low-end torque that makes the Stinger feel confidently quick around town and comfortable holding highway speeds with power in reserve. Rear-wheel drive gives this Stinger a naturally balanced, engaging feel through corners that few cars in its price range can replicate, while selectable drive modes let the driver tailor throttle response and steering feel to the moment, whether that's a relaxed commute or a spirited back-road run. EXTERIOR FEATURES The Stinger's long hood, muscular fenders, and fastback roofline give it a genuinely coupe-like presence despite its practical five-door liftback design. Aurora Black paint suits that shape well, letting the car's sculpted character lines catch the light without distraction. Quad exhaust outlets and distinctive triangular taillights round out a rear-end design that still looks unlike anything else in the segment. INTERIOR FEATURES Inside, the Stinger's cabin punches well above its price class, with soft-touch surfaces and contrasting metal trim dominating the dash and door panels. Leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control keep both driver and passenger comfortable on longer drives, while 60/40-split folding rear seats and the hatch-style cargo area add genuine everyday versatility that a conventional sport sedan simply can't offer. INFOTAINMENT & TECHNOLOGY A 7-inch touchscreen anchors the Stinger's infotainment system, supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for straightforward smartphone integration. A six-speaker audio system with satellite radio capability rounds out the setup, while three USB ports keep front and rear passengers charged and connected throughout the drive. SAFETY FEATURES Standard safety equipment includes front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera, helping take the guesswork out of tight parking situations. A comprehensive airbag system and stability control work together in the background to provide confident, predictable handling across a wide range of driving conditions. ... and there's SO MUCH more!
