Recent Kia ordering guides have revealed that prices for the entry-level 2022 Stinger GT-Line will jump by US$ 3,000 to US$ 37,135 including a destination charge of US$ 1,045. That means it will cost US$ 100 more than a base, pre-facelifted 2021 Genesis G70 model (US$ 36,000 for the base RWD model plus US$ 1,025 destination comes out to US$ 37,025). So, what do you get for that extra money in the 2022 Stinger? Well, it does benefit from some nice upgrades.
Entry-level models have ditched the
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine in favor of a 2.5-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder that is good for 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque,
significant gains over the 252 hp and 260 lb-ft of the pre-facelifted Stinger
and the current G70. Other upgrades made to the Stinger for 2022 include LED
headlights, tweaked taillights, a handful of different 18-inch and 19-inch
wheel designs, and a new 10.25-inch infotainment screen sporting a more
advanced UI.
Continuing to sit at the top of the
Stinger range will be the GT2 variant with a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6
rated at 368 hp and 376 lb-ft. This model tops out at US$ 54,535, a $900 hike over
the 2021 model. Cars Direct notes that a US$ 1,295 upgrade package will also be
available for the sedan, adding a distinctive rear spoiler, black badging,
black wheels, dark exhaust tips, and a carbon fiber interior package.
Prices for the facelifted 2022 Genesis G70
have yet to be announced but we know that it will retain the current model’s
2.0-liter engine rather than shifting to the more powerful 2.5-liter.
