Hi everyone, I'm planning on buying the stinger GT 3.3T, though the dealer here in Saudi Arabia just received the 2020 model year this past week, and the dealer doesn't even know what exactly is new for the 2020 model year, and the cars aren't on the showroom floor yet so I can check them myself, I researched online to see what's new for 2020 though everything I found was on Korean, and I'm having a hard time deciding whether the 2020 is worth the extra $3K, any suggestion guys?
Is $3K extra worth it for the 2020 model year?

From what i've read, the 2020 will be similar to the 2019, very few published changes.
The MSRP of the 2019 did not change over 2018 more than a couple hundred dollars so $3,000 sounds extreme and like something the Dealer is looking to profit on. I'd question that for sure.

The 2019 got discounted so the new 2020 is priced the same as the old price for the 2019 here.

Wait till you can test drive. Compare to this year and if the 2020 has enough added cool stuff to be worth 3K more, there's your answer. You are welcome.

I guess you'll just have to wait, like the rest of us. Me? I am still completely satisfied with the MY18 GT1, and am only looking forward to later Stinger production out of curiosity.only 2019s are available for test drives

Sounds like it's simply a matter of paying up for the new model year, or getting a discount on a last year's model - no different from any other manufacturer's incentives to move existing inventory when the new models come out. Press to get the model differences for your market (if any) from your dealer, especially as they have the new cars already delivered - I'm sure they can get that information from KIA with little effort on their part.
Some people have to have the latest, even if there is little to no difference from the previous year - if you're not one of those people, looks like there's an opportunity to save some cash.

The 2019s doesn't have adaptive cruise control, and i read that all 3.3t for the Korean market comes standard with adaptive cruise control for the 2020 model year, so if the cars in my region has the same specs as the Korean market, it's worth the 3k for me, though i need to make sure of this.
