If that had a dedicated hatch design, it would be a keeper.
I feel that it's safe to say, that if Kia had abandoned the hatch to save time and effort designing a stiff, handling chassis around that gaping hole, and simply gone with yet another trunk sedan, that the Stinger would be dead in the water. That single, practical feature is the biggest deal breaker.
Things to love and miss.
If my push button hatch release on the dash had still been working on my '94 Voyager (had been out for years), I'd have really missed that. As it was, I still couldn't believe it, that the Stinger did not have a dash button hatch release. It still seems a little weird, like an oversight. But, with a slight adjustment in my attitude, I learned quickly to not miss it. My MO works around the lack of a dash hatch release button. And I never use it on the key fob either.
I may be reading this wrong but my Stinger has a button on the hatch to close it , one inside to open it and both can be done with the FOB ??
Must be a Kanuck feature. There is no dash button for releasing the hatch latch on my GT1. But there is on the key fob.
.........does the GT 2 have 360 camera and wireless charging now ?
..............pain in the ass , first thing I disabled !
wait till you find your hatch open in the morning a few times ....................
