Kia Stinger trim in México (named GT)

[jgarritz]

Hi, I bought a Stinger in México (I live here...;-)
The trim is actually different from any other. just ONE version of the V6
So.. its named GT.
It has everything of the US version as GT2 but we dont get:

UVO w/ 8" Touch-Screen Display and Voice-Command Navigation System
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA), w/ Pedestrian Detection
Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC), w/ Stop and Go
Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)
Driver Attention Warning (DAW)

strange that we get the Harman/Kardon® QuantumLogic™ Premium Surround Sound w/ Clari-Fi™, 720 Watts and 15 Speakers ...BUT not the UVO
We get LSD, smart power trunk, shift by wire, HUD, dimming rear v mirror.. so its a mix between US GT1 and GT2.
price $ 42K USD

Very interesting. I wonder why they left out so many safety features...

Might be an option like the DriveWise package on the GT1?

At least you get a good discount from the US price. Better to be Canadian though, where the same money buys all the features. Where in Mexico are you?

I guess Kia doesn't want mexicans to drive too safely

Mexico City

It's not easy to get the Stinger up to 167 in Mexico City.

You haven't driven there, have you?

That's because I lack the cojones. The only place I've driven in Mexico lately has been on Isla Mujeres. Golf cart, pedal to the metal.
