[Jayce]

so i found out that the 2019 models are having wireless charging, 360 camera, LSD (Limited Slip Differential) (Limited Slip Differential) to all gt's, rear heated seats and coasting to neutral control.
then if u want 2.0s they have some major upgrade mostly interior stuff trying make it like the 3.3gt's

Quick question for you. Do you know if there will be remote access like by app to unlock and remote start the vehicle this year?

Doesn’t the 2018 GT2 in the USA rear heated seats?

Nope, only the front seats are heated and cooled in the GT2.

We have it, if I lived in the USA I would just buy a Canadian Stinger, our GT Limited which is your GT2 is cheaper also. Wonder if Canada will get any extras for 2019.

I think I only read about one person using an importer for facilitating a cross-border purchase. Do you have links to info on how anyone else has done this? I wouldn't be surprised if NA gets crippled options or color combinations again for 2019. Does everyone looking at the top end GT really want red leather interior? I hate red! Also if they just allowed custom orders that would even better

Yes....

The red in the Stinger looks great, a number of us are happy with that color. I’ve had black, grey and charcoal interiors in all of my cars, don’t like beige for interior color. Having red, brown or some other dark color would be fine with me. I think the 2019s will come with the missing features the other countries got and this may also extend to the 2.0 trims as well. That’s the word going around.

Slightly off topic, I am really confused between interior colors right now, it would be great if you could share some thoughts. I always had a car with black interior, so I am looking for some different interior color. What were the pros and cons of grey and charcoal against red?

I think it's just personal preference. What looks good to you. I had a light grey interior on a Cadenza Limited and thought it was one of the best looking interiors I have ever had. Now have the red and think it looks great also. The red is a rich looking shade of red, not bright or cheap.

Yes, that red does look very good. I liked both red and grey that's why I was asking pros and cons in terms of efforts to keep it clean, how it ages over time, stains etc.

The thing that makes the red work so well is they didn't over-do it like some German cars. Staring out across a red dashboard would drive me insane!

I’d like to see more color combos and less option levels.

Does anyone have insight as to when the 2019's will be released?

Salman is expecting to receive his this week. He is in Saudi Arabia though, but I think US market should be getting it this month.

There's a 2019 Kia Stinger pamplet rolling around in one of the Facebook groups. As far as features, everything we expected to be added has been addressed. I don't recall on seeing when we will get it though.

Curious to know what all in everything? Wireless charging, rear heated seats, Surround-view camera, UVO link and luxury, all color combination, brown interior, cup holder covers? Can you share the pamphlet if you come across it again?

Thanks for the Facebook tip! I found the following JPEGs. The images were not the best but it is readable.

Cheers

Can't read it. I might, if my life depended on it.
