Canadian Stinger trims GT vs GT limited

[squash]

Hello everyone,

I am in Canada and I would like to know the difference between the GT and GT Limited.

Thanks.

It's a pretty long list of stuff, you should probably check out the Kia Canada Stinger page.

Yeah, the website details the differences without any confusion: Kia Canada - stinger2018

Thanks guys. I should learn to scroll to the bottom of the page.

I was just thinking about this. I got a limited because I fell into the trap of wanting a feature that only came with the limited.

But if you think about it, do the various pieces actually add up anywhere close to 6k?

The big ones for me were HUD, Ventilated seats, and blind spot detection. The rest I could have lived without. In the states, the "Drive Wise Package" which is basically all of the driver assistance features (which come on the limited) are an addon for 2k. Do the HUD, upgraded leather, ventilated seats and speakers really add up to 3-4k?

Limited totally worth it IMO

Felt to me more like the GT wasn't worth the 6k difference.

The sweet spot for me was the GT1, AWD, DriveWise, 19" wheels. Saved $4,000 over the GT2 MSRP. Not missing anything worth that much, IMHO.

I have looked at the cost diff. of 5K between the GT and GT LTD. I would be kicking myself if I saved a few $ and then felt I wanted that 1 option. PS, I love this car so much I may look to work for Kia...

from Germany it might be more , it seems reasonable , and relative to the German Bench marks and the US is still a smoking deal .............

Id actually argue its quite worth it. For 6k you get:

Navigation
HUD
Upgraded 8 Inch Display/7 Inch Inst. Cluster
Adaptive Cruise Control
15 Speakers
Wireless Phone Charging
16 Way Power Seat
Nappa Leather
Ventilated Seats
Heated Rear Seats
360 Camera
Bending Headlights
Plus Loads of Safety/Collision Prevention-Technology

IMHO id go big or go home on this one. The extra 6k to have all these useful and enjoyable features on the Canadian model just seems like the thing to do. They are cushy features plus you can say its the top shelf model. Would you really want to regret not having a 360 cam for maneuvering or saving your wheels from curbs.. or cooled seats in the summer? Or having to upgrade the sound system yourself later on? Plus the accident the car might prevent you from getting into may even pay for itself one day. Kias already asking for a good dollar for the regular GT, an extra 5 or 6k for a fully loaded stinger is where im leaning. Damn I should be a salesman.

Lol. If all goes well, your argument is sound.

Bold is key here. When already spending that cash on a new car why not toss in a few extra $$ and go bigger. However my family was told for 2018 all that will be available is the GT not the GT Ltd as those were pre order and well, Limited...
