    US Market: Which unavailable feature on the Kia Stinger are you most upset the most?

    I did initially like the Audi S5 Sportback, but it is more expensive and I am not entirely sold on the interior. I may consider the VW Arteon as well. Does anyone know exactly when that car is scheduled to be released in the US? The only other car I would consider is the Infiniti Q50, but...

    US Market: Which unavailable feature on the Kia Stinger are you most upset the most?

    Just out of curiosity, is anyone considering a different car, such as the Acura TLX A-Spec, which costs around the same as a Stinger GT1 and can be ordered with white exterior/red interior and includes wireless charging and 360 surround camera? How about anyone waiting for the release of the...

    US Market: Which unavailable feature on the Kia Stinger are you most upset the most?

    Yeah, at least with wireless charging, you can buy a wireless charging pad, insert it into the cubby, and keep it connected to USB all the time (assuming it has overcharge and short circuit protection). I am hoping that maybe the Genesis G70 will include the missing features/options for not...

    Adding wireless Qi charging to US models

    How about buying a flat, anti-slip Qi wireless charging pad and leaving it in the cubby with the cable connected to the USB port all the time? That should work as long as the charger has over heating and short circuit protection, right?

    Kia Stinger Technology and Features Explained

    That was such a tease, LOL If we got both the Qi wireless charging and surround view camera in the US models, the car would be almost 100% perfect. I hope that these are options that can be retrofitted later on or come out in future releases. Otherwise, I may consider the Genesis G70 as this...

    Kia Stinger Technology and Features Explained

    Same thing with the 360 surround view camera. I thought we were not getting that option on the US models. I guess this guy works at a Kia dealership in Canada.

    Kia Stinger Technology and Features Explained

    I am confused. I thought we are not getting Qi wireless charging on the US models. According to this guy, it sounds like we do have a wireless charging pad in the console. If that is the case, that would be great!

    What car will you be replacing with your Kia Stinger?

    The Stinger would be replacing my black 1998 Honda Accord coupe, which has around 270,000 miles on it and still going.

    US Configurator/Builder is LIVE!!

    I am disappointed with the configurations for the US build. I thought ventilated seats would be an option on all trims. Also, I thought that the 360 surround view camera would at least be offered on the GT2 trim. On top of the limited color selections for the non-GT2 trims, only the GT2 trim...

    2018 Kia Stinger GT Redline Review

    According to the Redline reviewer, there is no Qi wireless charging or 360 surround view camera (even on the GT2 model). Does anyone know whether that is going to be the case for the US models?

    2018 Kia Stinger trim levels, options and packages. USA spec (both RWD & AWD, 4cyl & V6)

    In another post, someone mentioned that ventilated seats would be an option on all trims/models. I hope the same would apply to the heads-up display and smart power trunk as well.

    US-bound Kia Stinger will get 8 exterior color and 3 interior color choices

    Does anyone know whether the 7 exterior color and 3 interior color options will be offered on all trims for both the non-GT and GT models?

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Orange exterior with dark tinted windows and black spoiler/rear diffuser is perfect for Halloween. :-)

    2018 Kia Stinger trim levels, options and packages. USA spec (both RWD & AWD, 4cyl & V6)

    I am glad to hear that the ventilated seats would be an option on all trims. I also hope that the Premium trim will have the same short shifter that are on the GT trims. I don't like the tall T-shaped shifter on the Base trim. Anyone know if red seats would be an option on all trims or is that...

    Motortrend base Stinger full review

    I was actually considering the 4-cylinder Stinger, but I am disappointed with the 0-60 time. I thought I read that 0-60 should be 5.9 secs. Also, I don't like the T-shaped shifter and the fact that the seats do not have thigh extensions, even with the Premium trim. I guess I will be forced to...
