I-Stinger ibiwukubheja kwesibindi ngakwa-Kia, okwasiza kakhulu ekuqwashiseni umkhiqizo kanye nekhono lawo.

Yasungulwa ngo-2017, le saloon ebukeka njengesporter - imbangi yezimoto ezifana ne-BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé - ihlezi endaweni edonsa ngamasondo angemuva futhi iletha izici zobuhle neziguqukayo ze-Kia ebesikade singajwayele ukuyibona.
