Kia Stinger will remain in Australian showrooms for now, yet the future unclear

  • 28-January-2022

In Australia, the Kia Stinger twin-turbo V6 sedan has made up for the shortfall left by Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon performance sedans. Notwithstanding, when this model arrives at as far as it goes, it's impossible there will be a replacement, because of surprisingly sluggish deals all around the world - in the midst of the purchaser shift towards SUVs.

One more sports sedan has been added to the imperiled species list.

The Kia Stinger twin-turbo V6 'liftback' will stay accessible in Australia for years to come - and Kia vendors are as yet taking orders - but it is probably going to be the first and last of its sort, in the midst of the sustained purchaser shift towards SUVs.

Reports out of South Korea - and past interviews with Kia executives at international motor shows - have shown there won't be a replacement to the Kia Stinger vehicle, and it might ultimately be supplanted by an electric vehicle of a similar name.

Regardless of the Kia Stinger twin-turbo V6 filling the void left by Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon performance cars in Australia - unintentionally showing up locally in September 2017, close to the end of local car manufacturing - the vehicle has not met deals assumptions in different markets.

For sure, Kia even sent a Stinger - decked out in Queensland Police livery - to a motor show in the US to attempt to find some business with law requirement there, to assist with supporting sales.

Be that as it may, police offices in the US didn't take the trap - selecting to stay with US-made cars and SUVs.

Subsequently, the Kia Stinger stays a specialty vehicle in many business sectors outside Australia.

Kia Australia says the vehicle stays on sale locally and it has not been advised of any end-of-production date.

"We've received no notification from head office when they will stop making the Stinger for us," said Kia Australia boss Damien Meredith. "For us, it's business as usual and we continue to sell the car."

Kia Australia says it will likewise keep on providing the Kia Stinger to police fleets who have them on order, like those in Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Western Australia has few Kia Stingers and has recently enhanced its fleet with the Skoda Superb cart.

"Whether or not there is a new model has not been announced," said Mr Meredith. "The car is still available. We've got orders with police forces in Australia that we want to fulfil and we will fulfil. We are also still taking customer orders."

Overseas reports claim the Kia Stinger might arrive at the finish of the production line either in the not so distant future or some time one year from now, except if the organization decides to expand its planned model cycle.

The Kia Stinger will have been underway for a very long time in 2022; the model cycle for most traveler vehicles is in the five-to seven-year range.

Kia customarily gets its vehicles a midlife facelift in their third year on sale - 2020 for the Stinger, which showed up on time - prior to eliminating them after their fifth year.
