Stinger Tribute Edition is farewell to Kia sports car

By CARSIFU | 28 December 2022


SEOUL: Kia is retiring the Stinger with a tribute edition.

Limited to just 1,000 examples worldwide, the Stinger Tribute Edition pays homage to Kia’s high-performance vision, and celebrates the Stinger sedan’s significant contribution to the brand since its introduction in 2017.

Building on the Stinger 3.3-litre twin-turbocharged V6 GT specification, the Stinger Tribute Edition elevates the striking sedan’s aesthetic appeal and sporting nature to a new level.

In addition to the existing Ascot Green paint finish, customers are offered the choice of a new Moonscape matte gray paint hue.

Further sophistication is provided by the black finish that adorns the sleek housing of the exterior mirrors, the arresting black Brembo brake calipers and the evocative 19-inch gloss black design wheels.

“The Stinger Tribute Edition denotes an important chapter in the story of Kia’s high-performance ethos. Featuring an exclusive colour and interior trim never before seen on the sedan, it also serves as a fitting celebration of the Stinger’s contribution to the Kia brand," said Chang Sung Ryu, Senior Vice President and Head of Purchase CX Design Sub-division.

Inside, a collection of design and material upgrades further enhance the sporting ambience of the Stinger’s spacious, technology-infused cabin. Bespoke Terracotta brown leather enriches the sports seat, and the material’s timeless appeal extends to features such as the steering wheel, door side trim and door handles.

Kia’s designers have applied a carbon-effect finish to the console upper cover and the door panels to complement the new Terracotta leather trim.

A newly introduced wasp-shaped emblem is embedded into the headrest of the seats.

This subtle embellishment denotes the car’s name and signifies the quick response of its V6 petrol engine. The car comes with a numbered door sill plate on the driver’s side.
