2018 Stinger: Kia's track-capable family hauler

Hyundai's Kia brand calls its 2018 Stinger a “five-passenger sportback poised to redefine a segment currently populated by European automakers” and compares twin-turbo V-6 GT models to similar-size 6-cylinder performance cars from the likes of Audi (S5, A7), BMW (4-Series, 6-Series), Infiniti (Q50), Lexus GS350, Mercedes-Benz CLS and even Porsche (Panamera). The Stinger beats all of those on power, torque and top speed and (at 4.7 s) all but the Audi S5 in 0-60 mph acceleration.

At the same time, it exceeds all but the Audi A7 Sportback and Panamara on total interior volume and (at 23.3 ft3) all but the Audi Sportback on cargo volume behind the rear seats. And at $31,900USD for the base RWD turbo-4-cyl. and $38,350USD for the RWD GT, it handily undercuts the lot of them on price.
