Kia Stinger Facelifted Pada Tahun 2021 Dan Ia Mungkin Dilancarkan Di Malaysia

Walaupun dengan minat yang sedikit, Stinger ini mesti ada di bilik pameran

Walaupun mendapat pujian, Kia Stinger tidak benar-benar berjaya memasuki pasaran sedan sukan seperti yang diharapkan oleh pembuat kereta Korea Selatan. Walaupun banyak yang memujinya kerana kehebatan, prestasi dan harga ketika pertama kali dilancarkan pada tahun 2017, kebanyakan calon pembeli tetap menggunakan tawaran Continental tradisional dari BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi dan bahkan Alfa Romeo. Walaupun dengan banyak anugerah global yang diterima Stinger 2017 menyaksikan jualan yang tidak begitu merangsangkan di seluruh dunia.

Tiba di Malaysia pada bulan Julai 2018, Naza Kia menawarkan Kia Stinger dalam dua varian. Terdapat mesin 4 silinder turbocharged GT 2.0 liter yang menghasilkan 255hp dan turbo berkembar GT V6 3.3 liter yang menghasilkan 365hp. Stinger GT dapat mempercepat 0-100km / jam dalam 5.1 saat yang meletakkannya bersebelahan dengan sedan sukan berharga RM100,000 lebih dan masih tidak cukup sebab untuk pembeli Malaysia keinginan untuk memiliki satu. Hanya segelintir yang dijual, kebanyakannya kepada peniaga Kia dan kami hanya melihat satu unit berdaftar di jalan raya kami.

Berapa

Varian 3.3 liter V6 GT berharga RM309,888 on-the-road tanpa insurans sementara varian GT-Line 2.0-liter berharga RM239,888 on-the-road tanpa insurans.

Berbeza

Sekarang untuk 2021 datang Stinger revised. Masih membawa reka bentuk seksi yang sama rapi yang telah ditiru oleh beberapa pengeluar kereta lain, Stinger 2021 ini membawa lampu LED baharu dan kluster lampu belakang serta reka bentuk roda baharu untuk roda aloi 18 atau 19 inci. Yang baharu secara khusus di bahagian luar Kia ini adalah logo korporat baharunya yang menghiasi bonet dan rodanya, ekzos yang lebih agresif.

Stinger GT-Line baharu ini menawarkan enjin tahap entry-level baharu daripada empat pot turbocharged 2.5 liter yang kini menghasilkan 300 hp dan 422 Nm. Dipadankan dengan transmisi automatik 8-kelajuan dan pacuan roda belakang sahaja atau pacuan empat roda, enjin besar baharu ini b oleh 0-96 km / j dalam masa 5.2 saat dan angka ekonomi bahan bakar dari unit 2.0 liter yang lebih kecil berbanding yang digantinya.

Bagi mereka yang mencari lebih banyak kuasa, masih ada pilihan trim Stinger GT1 atau GT2 yang mengekalkan V6 berkembar 3.3 liter turbocharged, tetapi kini kuasa lebih sedikit 368 hp dan tork 510 Nm. Peningkatan prestasi lain yang disertakan termasuk brek Brembo, kawalan pelancaran dan sistem elektronik variable exhaust baharu.

Kia telah memutuskan untuk menaikkan premium dalamannya dengan penambahan corak jahitan baru, pencahayaan ambien LED dalaman dan perincian hitam gloss baharu dan krom pada panel instrumen. Sementara itu, di bahagian hadapan kit dalaman, sport sedan Korea Selatan ini memperoleh paparan infotainment 10.25 inci standard yang lebih besar, pad pengecas tanpa wayar dan skrin pusat 7-inci yang lebih besar yang disertakan dengan Blind Spot View Monitor dan kamera pandangan sekeliling 360º.

Kia juga telah meningkatkan suite keselamatan aktifnya dengan penyertaan Smart Cruise Control dan Highway Driving Assist berasaskan navigasi. Stinger ini juga menawarkan sistem telematik pautan UVO dan juga sistem audio Harmon / Kardon.

Its arrival in Malaysia is still uncertain as Kia in Malaysia is in transition to a new brand guardian and we will have to wait and see if the new Kia sales and marketing team can change Malaysian premium car buyers to look beyond badge and branding.  

Ketibaannya di Malaysia masih tidak dapat dipastikan kerana Kia di Malaysia sedang dalam proses menukar penjaga jenama dan kita harus tunggu dan lihat apakah pasukan penjual dan pemasaran Kia yang baharu akan buat agar pembeli kereta premium Malaysia memandang lebih dari sekadar lencana dan jenama.

SIARAN MEDIA KIA

The Stinger established a new era in Kia’s history when it debuted in 2017 as a 2018 model, but that was just the start of the story.  It “crashed the party” in a way never expected and converted enthusiasts stuck in the old “German is better” doctrine. For 2022, Stinger continues to evolve and maintain its position as Kia’s halo sport sedan while pushing frontiers in expected style, performance and engineering. It’s been revamped with new exterior design details that offer a more upscale appearance, enhanced performance thanks to a more powerful standard engine, and an unparalleled driving experience with several technologically advanced driver assistance systems as standard.

Building off a design hailed for its enthusiastic spirit and perfect sense of proportion, subtle styling enhancements focus on Stinger’s premium and performance-oriented appearance. Along with Kia’s dynamic new logo that adorns the center of the hood and wheel caps, changes to the exterior include:

• Standard LED headlamps with a new DRL signature or optional “Stinger-signature” LED DRLs and headlights
• Standard rear LED taillamps bridged by an eye-catching new taillight design that spans the full width of the liftgate; GT trims get a full LED treatment with LED turn signals
• New 18- and 19-inch wheel designs defined by lean and technical geometric shapes
• More aggressive exhaust tip design for enhanced visual appeal

Stinger’s interior upgrades sharpen the renowned driver-centric experience:

• Black gloss and chrome details on the instrument panel add a touch of polish
• Modern stitching pattern on inside door panels casts a striking effect inside the GT; GT models with Nappa leather surfaces gain a new “chain link” design inspired by the wristbands found on high-end watches
• Ambient LED mood cabin lighting with vibrant selection of colors

The Scorpion Special Edition set to arrive this late Spring further accelerates Stinger appeal with:

• Select exterior colors: Snow White, Aurora Black, and Ceramic Silver
• Rear spoiler
• Blacked out fender garnish, side mirror caps, and darkened exhaust tips
• Unique black wheels
• Interior carbon fiber pattern trim

Following in the footsteps of the K5 and Sorento, the Stinger pampers its passengers with the latest in infotainment and technology:

• Standard 10.25-inch touchscreen display with navigation and standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus multi-connection Bluetooth wireless connectivity and split-screen functionality
• Wireless charger for compatible smartphones
• Larger 4.2-inch color TFT center cluster is easier to read and offers a more vibrant exchange of information.
• Available 7-inch center cluster provides the safety of the available Blind Spot View Monitor with a live video view of adjacent lanes activated via the turn signal. This screen also projects the available Surround View Monitor, which utilizes four cameras to provide a 360-degree vehicle perspective

Stinger’s suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has expanded and is now the class-leader in this luxury segment:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning: Assists the driver in braking to help prevent a collision or lessen the effects in certain conditions when turning left and an oncoming vehicle is approaching
• Safe Exit Warning: Can alert the driver or passengers opening their door not to exit the vehicle when the system detects approaching traffic. When detected, a chime sounds.
• Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist: Under certain conditions, can detect vehicles traveling in the next lane. When a vehicle is “seen” in the blind spot, the vehicle brakes the outer wheel under certain conditions to help return the vehicle to its intended lane
• Rear Cross Traffic Avoidance Assist: Helps detect most approaching cross traffic when in reverse. When approaching cross traffic is detected, the system alerts the driver and applies the brakes
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control: leverages the navigation system to lower the vehicle’s speed proactively before upcoming curves
• Lane Following Assist: Follows lane markings that the system detects and provides steering inputs to help maintain the vehicle in the center of the lane
• Highway Driving Assist: Uses federal highway speed limit information from the navigation system and, under certain conditions, will automatically adjust speed to be within the posted speed limit and maintain distance with the vehicle detected in front

The impressive Harman/Kardon premium audio system continues to be available, while UVO link telematics offers an array of advanced connected vehicle features, such as:

• Connected Routing: A new cloud-based route calculation system that uses UVO cloud to calculate the optimal route using real-time maps, predicted upcoming traffic info based on historical information and AI to learn the preferred routes of users
• Connected Weather: Provides weather information for more than 25,000 cities
• Enhanced UVO voice assist feature allows voice control of the vehicle’s climate, seat and steering-wheel heating, audio system, and other functions
• Connected User Profiles: Allows customers to add an additional driver to their vehicle. The drivers can have their individual UVO accounts linked to the vehicle and access to the remote features using the Kia Access App. The profile stores some select settings on the UVO cloud and can be shared with other compatible Kia vehicles.
• UVO & Smart Speaker Integration lets customers use Amazon-Alexa or Google-Assistant enabled smart speaker or device to remotely control some functions (such as remote start)
• Advanced notifications:
• Engine Idle Notification and Automatic Engine Shut Off notifies the driver via the UVO link app if the engine is left idling and, after a pre-selected time, turns off the engine
• Rear Occupancy Alert can send push notification alerts via the UVO link app if movement is detected inside the vehicle
• 911 Connect and Roadside Assistance will automatically attempt to call 911 via the built-in UVO modem if an airbag deploys. For non-emergencies, it can connect with 24/7 roadside assistance and share the vehicle’s location
• On-demand Find My Car with available Surround View Monitor uses the vehicle cameras to capture images of the vehicle’s surroundings and then share them via the Kia Access UVO app
• Last Mile Navigation provides walking directions to the driver’s final destination if the vehicle is parked between 0.1 and 1.2 miles away
• Calendar Integration syncs with owner’s cloud-based calendar and displays calendar events on touchscreen. Also provides navigation to event destination if address has been entered in calendar event
• Valet Mode locks Stinger’s touchscreen, keeping personal information such as call history, address book, and navigation destinations private when vehicle is left with valet or other unknown person
