UK Pricing and release date announced

[benanderson89]

Kia UK have announced pricing for all models of the Stinger.
All UK cars are RWD only (same as Australia) as the RHD steering rack would impede on the AWD system.

• 244hp 2.0 Turbo "GT-Line": £31,995
• 365hp 3.3 V6 "GT-S": £40,495

Joining the lineup is a 2.2L 197hp Turbo Diesel. No specific pricing on that one just yet. Understandably its the slowest of the range and is geared for economy to combat the German and British cars that dominate the business sector. There will also be "GT-Line S" models adding extra goodies like power tailgate and the beefy speaker system for the 2.0 and 2.2 engines.

It goes on sale January 1st. Order books open now.

I can`t order what I haven`t tested, that went badly wrong for me in 2004. I had already had 2 SAAB Aero Convertibles and loved them. so naturally I ordered the new model once announced. It replaced a car which was only 9 months old (I really liked the look and spec of the new one) and when I got it I hated it and sold it 3 months later. Looking forward to that Stinger test drive.....................

Those are great prices. When I asked our dealer (Estonia) then they said 3.3TT AWD GT will cost 50k EUR and 2.2TD AWD GT-line will cost 46k EUR. 46K for the diesel in here is totally absurd. I can get fully loaded VW Arteon or fully loaded Opel Insignia 4x4 (and have 12k to spare).
I am not sure how they come up with the prices, but it seems totally random. The VAT here is 20% and no road/car taxes.
