From Bellefonte, Phillipsburg and Altoona, round Centre County, and back to our home here in State College, PA, it's interspersed tracts of farmland speckled with expanses of forest betwixt mountainous terrain. Sounds like solid proving ground for the roadster performance made possible by a Grand Touring chassis, aircraft-style spoked vents, metal-ringed gauges and satin chrome trim, each to cut quite the figure while veritably piercing the veil of enthralled onlookers – very much like those of the new Kia Stinger fastback sedan, unveiled for 2018 with bravado at Detroit's North American International Auto Show. And we think she'll be quite the beast to complement life in Lion Country.
2018 Kia Stinger is set to offer standard both electronically adjustable suspension with a Dynamic Stability Damping Control and a Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber (CPA) torque, so the automaker all but promises smoothness of ride in tandem with hardness of charging on the road. Rear- and all-wheel drive options ought to make Stinger a model of handling reliability atop more than a few kinds of local terrain, too, with Personal, Eco, Sport, Comfort and Smart drive modes to wow the segment with shock stiffening and softening capability. Your inner performance driver will be able to corner nigh professionally at low speeds, or accelerate stably when you need true get-up-and-go. And Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control simplifies power and selective braking balance in all-wheel-drive mode, while the rear wheel-drive option, which features mechanical limited slip differential, distributes power evenly among wheels for peel out-conducive traction.
Come by and get your own feel for owning the road in advance of Kia's big 2018 Stinger release. Our State College, PA showroom can make it happen, with a test drive in a comparable Kia Cadenza, Forte, Optima or Rio sedan.
