2019 Color options

[Shieldzee]

Yep, all that good stuff.

This is great! The two things that were really holding me back from pulling the trigger was not being able to get the red interior on a white car and the lack of the 360 degree camera. I live in city that has an historic downtown with granite curbs everywhere and I can just imagine those lovely wheels getting chewed up and spat out if I did a sub-standard job of parallel parking. My daughter will be pleased by the heated rear seats. Now if they would just put UVO Luxe in it, it would be a home run, but that is not a deal breaker for me.

UVO Lux would be awesome. But there has been no news for it, optima is getting it though.

Any parking at all can accomplish this nightmare (in the daytime, man). If you are coming to the Stinger from a smaller car, or one where the visibility is higher, you will be in danger. I know this from sad experience. I am still, over four and a half months in, very, very careful parking, always, everywhere. I pick my spots. Parallel parking is actually easier than turning into an end stall with a curb on one side; those are the spots I want (less chance of an opened neighboring car door dinging me), and my front wheels are curb rashed because of incompetence on my part: I didn't know the dimensions yet. Parallel parking, backing in, is made relatively easy with that excellent rear camera. You just plant the red lines squarely on the curb edge and keep them there, and make sure your front curbside wheel doesn't swing in too close (those rear camera parking blue lines should never go past the parallel to the curb point, but ease up to it and stay there). You should have c. a foot of clearance (or a little less) if you keep the red lines on the edge of the curb.

I will be leaving behind a 2008 BMW 335i, which I love, but has now just over 100K on the clock and every time something goes wrong with it, another $500 flies out of my wallet. The tech is lacking in the car and I also love the idea of the hatchback and slightly bigger size. Before I bought the BMW, I was a lifelong Saab owner and always felt the old 900's with the big hatch were awesome. The Kia gives me that same vibe. I live in NC and drive regularly to the coast and to DC, each of which are six hours away. The BMW is so much fun to drive, but I would love to have a "Comfort" mode for those long drives. When the 2019's hit, I hope that I can talk the wife into letting me pull the trigger.

Found 2 white GT2 with red interior.

Kia New Vehicle Inventory Search - Charlotte Kia dealer in Charlotte North Carolina - New and Used Kia dealership Gastonia Rock Hill SC Hickory North Carolina

Saw on FB there is another one at Murray Kia in Conshohocken Pa.

I've been holding out for the 2019 model, hoping the US market would get the missing features other markets got for the 2018 model. Looks like those features will be there, but now they mess with the color options? No blue on a GT2? Say it ain't so!! But now Panthera Metal with a Red interior, I could be tempted...

Looks like Panthera Metal only comes with black interior though according to the chart. If it came with red, that would be awesome. Sounds like a missed opportunity.

where are you seeing the color combos...went to Kia website and 2019 is NOT listed yet for Stinger??

Look at the first post. @KiaofMuncie Shared a brochure.

First page. I'm assuming that's accurate since it came from a dealer.

I think it will be authentic but accuracy is not in dealers hand. Kia has been unreliable lately (with color combos). (Very few) 2018 White with red interior stingers are on sale but nowhere on the website.

Thanks, that one i am not too sure about...will keep checking website.

The Website is not reliable as well. It shows white with the red combo as not available but few dealers have it.

Came up on the first try for me:

I meant for gt2. Sorry, I should have mentioned it. White red is available in GT and GT1 but not GT2 as per website.

 

[eflyguy]

Gotcha!

 

[Mach_Tuck]

Ha ha...oh i know...my yellow one doesnt show up anywhere!! 2019 Color Combo is a key factor in whether or not i keep the yellow after repaint or take a re-buy and go for a 2019 with color and options.

Here is the Korean online brochure, it has the brown interior shown, doesn't look bad.

I like it.. shame we don't get that choice..

This is very true. They build what they want at a moments notice. Some of the combos you cannot order however they are out among the other vehicles.
