Inovev expects sales volumes of 50,000 units per year for the Kia Stinger
- Kia has created a more upmarket model, the Stinger sedan, from the Optima sedan taking the general line, and practically the same dimensions of the Optima (length: 4.83m, width: 1.87m, height: 1.40m).
- The difference with the Optima is mainly under the hood, with a range of high performance engines available.
- It is possible to have a 4 cylinders 2.0 turbo 255hp petrol engine, a V6 3.3 biturbo 370hp petrol engine, or a 4 cylinders 2.2 200hp diesel engine, which is already mounted on the Sorento.
- No Kia brand model to date has displayed such high power, the Optima offering only engines with a power between 140hp and 245hp.
- With the Stinger, Kia targets the Audi A7, Mercedes CLS, Jaguar XF, Volkswagen Arteon, ie the most dynamic models of the E segment (Optima is D segment).
- The Stinger will be marketed mainly in South Korea, the United States and Europe.
- Inovev expects a volume of sales of 50,000 units per year from the Stinger, all produced in South Korea. Even though the production volume of the Kia brand has stagnated globally for two years, the manufacturer does not aim for volumes for this model but rather the desirable image that the Stinger could convey.
