Yes, that would be good, could be doable they have them in the Kia Carnival (People Mover down here).

Those are would be nice, two things I do miss from my KIA K900 is the soft close doors and the credit card like key.

I had them in my 16 optima sxl so no reason they didn't do them in the stinger

Latest Kia Stinger Spy Shots Shows New Alloy Wheels - Korean Car Blog

Has anybody post this? Looks like legit facelift with led rear light running across

The more I see these spy shots the less I feel like the car changes

I wouldn't be shocked if the "driving around in camo" was all just marketing or drumming up talk.

Looks like the same wheels used in the Canadian 20th anniversary edition.

The new GTLine trim level they talk about in the article is already the top spec 2.0L trim in Australia, and the headlights adjusting to moving the steering wheel is already a feature in the Australian GT so other than the rear light finally being switched on and some new rims which appear to already be on a Canadian model it doesn’t look like much of a face lift. They’re just adding bits as standard to all models that only featured in some. Just like they added the 360° cameras for North America, that we had as standard, and the interior mood lighting for the 2019 onwards in Australia that was standard in the 2018’s in the US

Those wheels are FUGLY ! as hell

Agree - The spokes are OK, but definitely not loving the giant star in the center caps. "Texas Edition" Stinger, anyone?

I could take or leave the "dynamic turn signal." Just seems like more of the Audi designers rubbing off on this car trying to make it as A7 as possible. But a lot of cars have them now, so maybe it's OK.

I do like that they changed the rear indicator (right image) to have a similar pattern as the front indicator with the multi-point LED array making it a much more consistent design element now. Let's see how much a new tail light assembly is come 2021...

I can never tell from camo shots, but aren't these the new designed ones that got replaced on 2020?
Found one for $645.

A few minor changes, no marketing or advertising, nothing changes in terms of sales. Where’s the 2.5 turbo or something more substantial?

Nice - I hadn't seen these and wasn't aware of the change on the 2020's. Thanks for sharing.

At this point, I don't think changing the engines in the car is the answer to their sub-par sales. The low sales numbers are even more incentive not to make a major drivetrain change. The car has impressive power with the 3.3T and more so with minor modifications. KIA really just needs to spend the money and time on properly advertising this car. I still feel like they sell on word of mouth, which should not be the case for a car with such high power/looks/functionality value.

This 100%. Kia doesn't market the car properly at all. It may be a "halo car" but it's not an exotic, and it's not from a brand people associate or trust for performance. There should be ads that just show this car beating rivals on a drag strip, show it drifting, get some Charger and A5 drivers in one and blow their minds. It's like Kia is afraid of rocking the boat or something.

They've put it in the same boat as the K900 and Cadenza , if they survive without investment fine if not fine too , they cant keep up with their SUV line up and thats where all their brain time and $$ are going , I dont blame them ...................

Twin turbo to the Sorento, you cowards!

wouldnt that be nice ! I'm waiting another year to get a Telly BUT if they put the 3.3TT in the new Sorento I would probably buy it instead , I dont need the extra size of the Telly and from everything I 've heard and seen about the new Sorento suggests it will be a bit nicer and have better driving dynamics and tech than the Telly.......................

Hopefully the new Sorrento looks nice, the current one is way too van looking to me. Kind of like the Dodge Journey.
