Came across with the new Kia Stinger while doing recall

[ChaneRZ]

Saw the new 2022 Kia Stinger while I dropped my car for the hecu recall.

The front looks so much better with the new badge.

So does the steering wheel.

Hahaha LoL dealer markup of almost $2K!!!

 

[Dodger Blue]

Now that's a rebadge I would actually consider doing. I don't hate the old badges but don't love a lot of the aftermarket ones either. Replacing 2019 OE for 2022 OE would be great though.

 

[MerlintheMad]

Now, that is new, still under plastic. The new KIA badge is okay. But I don't see what the rave is all about myself.

seriously wtf. All other model years are minimum $2k off and they have the gall to put $2k over lol. Idiots.

 

[Aarvix]

I like it, might even change my "E" badge for it

Unfortunately, or fortunately for the dealership, some people will pay it, ie not caring about money, or Just not financially literate, not doing home work, etc

 

[Kamauxx]

Hmm, that's about $2k more than I paid for my S5. So that dealership will charge people $57k for AWD GT2s? Interesting...

Is there a lid on the cupholders or just something temporarily covering it?

 

[Aarvix]

Probably the same cupholder cover the Korean stingers have had from the beginning.

I love my stinger but $57K is a nope for me.

 

[Kamauxx]

Someone posted pics of 2022 U.S. Stingers before and they didn't have the lid over the cupholders. I wonder if Kia made that an option.

Compared to Telluride SX Nightfall markups that is a steal.

It appears to just be a couple of brochures lying on top of the cup holders.

ChaneRZ is gonna have to go back and take more pics.

I think you're right though.

Yes brochure covering, if enlarged the pic, can see the little bit of black spacing for the cup holder

I think the front KIA look ok but a bit on the big side, still better vs current KIA oval. I would also prefer it to be a dark brush aluminum.

For the retrofit unless you plan to get the holes filled and new paint you might have hard time positioning this to cover your existing holes...

No one will ever convice me to like the new tail lights, but the new badge looks much better

New taillights in Korea look better than the NA version...
Same is true for the pre refresh lights...

What was the difference pre-refresh between the NA and Korean? I didn’t know they were different. Honestly I don’t like any version of the new tail lights. Just doesn’t look good to me. I love the originals. They look so good at night
