Thank you. So the only thing missing in GT1 is head up display.

Is this info from dealers or the same info from a Facebook post? There is nothing on KIA’s site or the media site that provides official info on the 2019 yet.

 

[Kosh]

would have liked the heated rear seats and surround view monitor ... oh well

 

[Tonezorz]

Nicely arranged breakdown, but also curious if you have a source other than the facebook pamphlet.

Thank you. So the only thing missing in GT1 is head up display.

Also Nappa leather, heated rear seats, Shift-by-Wire, LSD, Power lift gate, and 360 camera.

This almost sounds to go to be true, because that would mean the price is gonna go up almost 2k or higher unless they are willing to take a big hit in profit. I'm going by just the driver assistance package being added which is now a 2k add-on.

 

[Waynerm002]

The price will go up but not an additional $2k over what you would pay for a vehicle with the drive wise package. I suspect these cars should start arriving stateside by mid September if not before.

LSD is now standard on all GT RWD. Will be interesting to see the price difference between 2019 GT1 and GT2. Can't be $6,000 as in the 2018 model year.

I'm questioning the accuracy of this post. I know there's another thread that has pictures of Kia brochures outlining the new 2019 features; however, it's unclear what market they are for. Also... rain sensing wipers are already on at least the GT2 as I have them. Again... just not sure of the validity of the information for at least the US market.

Precisely. Hence, I've changed the thread title. The info that has shared by a dealer here was not in the brochure floating around elsewhere on the interwebs..

2019 Kia Stinger Changes - Official Breakdown

Please provide your source for this information.

 

[rbrittr]

My dealer in Virginia provided me with a 2019 "What's New Sheet" which set out all of the above features for the U.S. car.

 

[eflyguy]

See now that's a source we could use..

 

[rbrittr]

I tried to upload the file but it was too large.

 

[patriotsfan82]

I shouldn't have looked in this topic.

Coasting neutral control, ventilated seats, and wireless charging all coming to my GT1.

I just want coasting neutral control - complained about it enough here on the forums . Should have waited 6 months apparently (didn't know it was going to be a problem when I purchased it though).

Well that, and I want my damn noise/vibration issues to go away.

Yes if you can get that brochure updated that would be great to see cause I am about to pull the trigger on a 2.0 Premium but would love ventilated seats.

 

[rbrittr]

Hope this works. Page 5 shows it comes from KIA America.

Can you explain to me what coating neutral control means?

Well son of a gun. Thanks so much for updating that. Now wondering how much the MSRP is going to increase with all those features now being standard versus optional.

 

[BlaydeX15]

Well, on the GT I'll be missing the Blind Spot sensor, and the LSD. That was available through the tech package and I decided not to buy it, so I don't think I'm missing much. If the price goes up more than the $2400 that the options would have cost, I can't complain!

 

[eflyguy]

Awesome, thank you - thread title changed again.. lol.
