The Kia Stinger, the company's flagship product, is challenging class-leading luxury goods like the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, Audi A5 Sportback, and Volkswagen Arteon, demonstrating Kia's ambition to become a premium brand.
The Stinger, which was created as an executive grand tourer, combines comfort with some remarkable performance numbers from its comparatively large petrol engine. Something about it reminds me of a classic muscle car.
Running costs for the Kia Stinger are probably going to be a mixed bag. On the one hand, outstanding dependability and an unmatched seven-year warranty should be combined with inexpensive servicing. The stated fuel economy numbers, however, are far from class-leading and might offset the maintenance cost advantages over more expensive competitors.
Kia Stinger Fuel Consumption
There has been no confirmation of an electric or hybrid variant.
Our testing period revealed that, on short trips around town, fuel economy hovered around 24 mpg. This crept up to the high 20s on highway trips, and on a longer cruise, it would even reach the low 30s.
Even while some performance saloons don't do much more than this, the 60-liter tank's fuel range of about 320 miles isn't ideal if you're searching for a long-distance GT cruiser. Additionally, this range decreased on short trips, thus 300 miles could be achievable.
The official combined cycle fuel economy of the Kia Stinger 3.3 V6 is 27.7 mpg, which is sufficiently close to the 2.0-liter petrol engine's 30.3 mpg to justify the V6's preference.
The official combined consumption statistic for the 2.2-liter diesel is 40.9 mpg, which is better. The V6 gives the Kia Stinger a unique feel that the other engines don't, so it's not the engine we would choose.
All models of the car are subject to the same flat rate of £180 in road tax since they were introduced after April 1, 2017.
Kia Stinger Fuel Consumption
But because the V6 was originally listed for little over £40,000, you will also have to pay an extra £390 a year until the car turns six.
Due to the Kia Stinger's original seven-year guarantee, owners of used cars will be covered for up to that amount of time, or 100,000 miles, depending on which comes around first.
Compared to competitors with Audi, BMW, or Mercedes labels on their bonnets, servicing at a Kia dealer will be less expensive.
However, because the Kia Stinger is ranked in groups 32 to 41 (out of 50), insurance for it will be similar to that of its German rival.
The fuel consumption of the Kia Stinger is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Kia Stinger variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Kia Stinger in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Kia Stinger is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
