Serving Cincinnati, OH, Fairfield, OH, and Springfield, OH

Now is a great time to go shopping for a new sports sedan. While the segment is competitive as ever, the new 2019 Kia Stinger has leaped to the top of the segment. Class-leading warranty coverage and an unmatched fun factor make the new Stinger hard to beat. Meanwhile, an accommodating interior design and excellent safety scores highlight the Stinger as a worthy family vehicle. Let’s see how the 2019 Kia Stinger stacks up against the 2019 Hyundai G70.

Performance

The 2019 Kia Stinger and 2019 Hyundai G70 have a virtually identical engine lineup. Kia rates the Stinger’s standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine to develop a competitive 255 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. If you desire a more thrilling performance, step up to the Stinger’s twin-turbo V6 engine. It’s tuned to produce an exciting 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. Look forward to experiencing especially quick acceleration. Both sedans also offer great handling. Despite the many similarities between these cars, expect the Stinger to deliver a smoother ride. According to Motor Trend, the Stinger’s more compliant suspension tuning enables it to deliver better ride comfort.

Interior

Like most people in the market for a new sports sedan, you’ll probably be traveling with your family and friends on a regular basis. This means interior room becomes a big concern. While both cars can accommodate up to five people, the 2019 Kia Stinger gives your passengers more space to spread out. When sitting in the Stinger’s backseat, occupants will enjoy an extra 1.6 inches of legroom. Furthermore, there’s a bit more shoulder room in the back of the Stinger. A hatchback design also makes the Stinger more suitable for hauling extra cargo. Because of the Hyundai G70’s smaller trunk, it can’t hold as many travel bags.

Appearance

Both of these sleek sedans will turn heads. However, a longer body and a slightly wider rear stance help give the 2019 Kia Stinger a more commanding road presence. Even the base Stinger looks stunning. Dual chrome exhaust tips come standard. Featuring a larger set of 19-inch alloy wheels and red-painted brake calipers, the Stinger GT has an especially mean appearance. You’ll also notice the Stinger GT’s more aggressive front fascia. Some of the exciting Stinger colors include Micro Blue Pearl, HiChroma Red, and Panthera Metal.

While the 2019 Hyundai G70 is a fine choice, it loses this head-to-head comparison. You’ll enjoy the 2019 Kia Stinger’s smoother ride, roomier interior, and exclusive exterior styling. To experience a real-world comparison, stop by your local Kia dealer for a test drive.
