Used 2023 Kia Stinger Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Kia Stinger is a midsize sedan available in two trim levels: GT-Line and GT2. The GT-Line comes with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 311 lb-ft), while the GT2 gets a punchy turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 (368 hp, 376 lb-ft). Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Highlighted features for the Stinger include:

GT-Line
Comes standard with:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Leather upholstery

  • Dual-zone automatic climate control

Tech features include:

  • 10.25-inch touchscreen display
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Nine-speaker audio system

Every Stinger also comes with driver aids such as:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Navigation-based adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front and can adjust speed based on GPS location)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Stinger back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear passenger safe-exit system (can prevent a rear passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

There are two notable option packages on the Stinger GT-Line:

  • Sun and Sound package
    • Sunroof
    • 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
    • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • GT-Line Apex Special Edition package
    • Brembo brakes
    • Black mirrors, fender trim and exhaust tips
    • Carbon fiber-patterned interior trim

GT2
The GT2 is a big step up from the GT-Line, but it gets you the 3.3-liter V6 engine and more performance goodies, including:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Adaptive suspension (can improve both ride comfort and handling stability)
  • Brembo brakes
  • Launch control for optimal acceleration
  • Limited-slip rear differential (can enhance traction during acceleration; RWD model only)
  • Torque-vectoring rear differential (can enhance agility while cornering; AWD models only)
  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Power-opening hatch lid
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Heated rear seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Hands-free keyless access
  • 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Stinger and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Sunroof

Which Stinger trim does Edmunds recommend?

The entry-level GT-Line is an outstanding choice thanks to a new turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and dual-clutch automatic transmission introduced last year. Together they transform the base model's character while saving thousands of dollars that you can spend on extras like all-wheel drive, fancy paint, an upgraded infotainment system and a premium audio system.
