The next Stinger, probably the 2020, better have all the missing features plus this.


Similar to Honda's lane watch, it shows you what is next to you depending on your turn signal.

BVM, blind sport view monitor.
 
The K900 is the flagship, it’s made to show what the company can do. Therefore most of the tech “eventually” will get passed down.
 
Saw a post that Hyundai/KIA is working on a bringing more to market. It will probably come on the Stinger during the mid cycle refresh.

Yes, switch to an all digital instrument panel. I especially like the Audi panel where Google maps fills up the whole space.
 
Too much distraction for me...I like old school and how the gauge was suppose to be. Remember people, technology can be your best friend or worse enemy, depending how they feel for the day.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
i found the Honda Lane thing really obnoxious. You should be LOOKING in that direction as well as using the tech. Honda forces you to look at the screen. personally it disconnected me from the car.

however... i wouldn't mind it while parking or backing out. Those 360 cameras on the Canuck model are pretty sweet

f*ck ya. Can't live without it now, just like I can't have a car without heads up display now that I have it. People failing to look at blind spots is usually the source of all the road rage incidents and cause of people getting cut off, so I'm all for any camera support to give the driver better visuals on the blind spots.
 
^^^ please send money for 360 cameras

Kia has already stated that the latest iteration of their digital instrument panel will filter down to other models (the K9/K900 has had one for years).
 
I saw this feature when the 2019 K900 was unveiled. First thing thing that came to my mind is can we retrofit this into a 2018/2019 stinger(with 360 camera of course). Mustang has a digital instrument panel in 2019 MY that some were able to port into 2016. From what I saw BMW 3 series has digital gauge cluster in Europe not in USA. But they were able to port it into USA's. We will see only time can tell.

2019 K900 that was unveiled in USA did not have this digital instrument panel only the Korean version has it. USA version has the analog instrument panel looks very much like Stinger's. That is how I thought may be there is chance to port the K900's digi instrument panel into stinger.

USA version Interior

I don't know about that, according to the media site it will:

When piloting the K900, the driver will benefit from either a high-resolution seven-inch color TFT instrument cluster or an available 12.3-inch color TFT instrument cluster with graphics differentiated by the selected drive mode – Comfort, Eco, Sport or Custom. Beyond the gauges, there’s an available 9.7-inch Head Up Display (HUD),10 teeming with content related to speed, navigation, audio, and driver assistance systems that allows the driver to focus more of their attention on the road ahead.

As part of Kia’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)11, the K900’s Surround View Monitor (SVM)11 utilizes four cameras providing a 360-degree perspective with stitched images that provide a seamless view. Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM)11 provides the driver with a live video feed of adjacent lanes in the instrument cluster and is activated via the turn signal. Utilizing the blind spot sensors, the K900 also enhances visual awareness by offering a haptic steering wheel10 that can help alert the driver by way of vibration in the event of a potentially unsafe lane change if the vehicle senses the presence of another vehicle or object.

The press says it should start in the mid $50k region and top out at no more than $60K I'll have to see that happen as they also said the Stinger was supposed to top out at $45K at the press launch but it came to market higher. If they have good incentives to keep the price similar to a stinger in a lease, I might swing that way.
