• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

MY21 Aussie Release Date

Yes I know that we are getting the facelift in NA now as MY22 and you got if few month earlier as MY21. Kia plan to deploy the logo by MY change to the entire lineup. The question for you is when MY22 will be released so that you get the new badging.
Has this been officially mentioned somewhere?

More than one Australian car news website (from memory CarAdvice and CarExprt) has said that KIA Australia told them new badges will only arrive on MY22 vehicles.

Ok so May onwards in Aus is classed as MY22?

From CarAdvice - “Kia has announced its new logo will make its Australian debut on the incoming Kia Cerato mid-life facelift in May 2021, before being rolled out across much of the company's existing line-up over the ensuing months.”

With the on going delays we might get the car in the actual year 2022

Kia can launch a model with MY22 in May, another one in July and another a November... not all models arrive at the same time but since MY21 Stinger was released late 2020 MY22 Stinger might arrive late in 2021...

Congrats. Great colour.
Yeah thanks. I love the colour in real life. I was surprised to see up close it is actually a metallic paint. I always thought it was a "flat" colour. It is very subtle.

Only extras was gt floor mats and tray liner.

I get it ceramic coated tomorrow and window tint next week.

What's people thoughts of window tint with a degree of metallic mirror - not full mirror? I'll probably just go with 22 black tint but just thought about the darkened Chrome on the mirrors etc that it might look cool.
