2022 Kia Stinger Reveals Its Updated Design Inside and Out

From Car and Driver

• The Kia Stinger is getting an update, and we now know what its new styling will look like.

• We also think it will receive updated powertrains, but Kia isn't sharing details yet.

• The refreshed Stinger is likely to arrive in the U.S. early next year as a 2022 model.

The Kia Stinger has been around long enough that it's due for a mid-cycle update, and we now have photos of the updated 2022 model that should arrive in the U.S. next year. Its styling is slightly sharpened and we think the freshened design looks good inside and out.

Changes to the front end include new LED headlights, while the rear boasts a cool new taillight design that stretches the full width of the decklid. The turn signals' LED elements are meant to look like a checkered flag. New 18- and 19-inch wheel designs are also on offer, and the GT model will offer larger exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. Kia says that a blacked-out appearance package is coming for the U.S. If you're curious about the "E" badge seen on this Korea-market example, know that this emblem is currently only found on the Stinger in its home market and is likely to stay that way.
