I agree the 2.0 TSI is getting a bit old now since they're putting in every R model... The 2.5 would really help move the Arteon upmarket which is what VW is trying to do.
the engine in the Arteon is far better than the current S4/S5 engine, in terms of modifying at least. the previous Supercharged V6 in the S4/S5 was the last great tuning engine

Should try a rolling race in sportiest settings, but auto. To see how the gearboxes react. Could be interesting to see how they differ from comfort to sports
Not the stinger GT(it's overrated, more overrated than the M5 for what it deserves), and the Artegon isn't so great to get more fame. So none of them is actually underrated.
@@johndavidson3424 You get much more for your money with the kia. You also see not many Stingers on the road thats why the Kia is underrated and not overrated

You shouldn’t use launch control with RWD Stingers in less than ideal conditions. You should mash the gas from a dig using the auto hold feature. It will start much more consistently that way.
@hon solo the rev hang isn't because of the flywheel of the transmission, it's because it helps with emissions. This video explains it: ua-cam.com/video/mm6SSeLivqE/v-deo.html
A drag race with a VW T5 or T6 in their most powerful versions with Automatic Gearbox would be interesting because they are pretty fast for such big heavy cars

VAG is going all electric in the next two years, and they are using turbo hybrid powertrains to fill the gap. there will never be another new VR6. also the VR6 is over 30 years old now.
No market. We had the Insignia OPC, Mondeo ST and MazdaSpeed 6 who just didn't sell that well. It's actually a surprise VW managed to sell a performance estate, as they're usually restrained by Audi in that segment.
Yeah, I've had my Stinger GT for almost 2 years now....can't imagine it not being AWD. I mean if I was tracking it (which it is not a track car) it would make sense to be RWD only, but for the occasional moment where I need to be a complete tool it's nice to know that it's going to hook up and pull.

I'd love to see a dragrace with the BMW M3/M4 RWD vs xDrive, I'm so curious to just how much difference there is between those two. And then maybe throw an Audi in there for reference, perhaps an RS6.
If its against the m3 and the m4, since they technically are the same platform the best Audi to compete with it. Or rather a fair comparison is the RS5 since its the M3 and M4 competitor
It’s VW. Power doesn’t mean much in many cases. Their engines often don’t stack up well on paper but beat most others out there in the real world. German engineering…
@@SEBi3S it lost? Dismally, fair point tho and at the same time put it up against an awd with a similar size engine with the same outputs as the stinger and I’m pretty sure what the outcome would be….again

All-wheel drive all day every day. Always great to see these drag races on wet or damp tracks. The Kia is a great car, but would be nice to see a AWD version.

@@jasono2139 you could not be more wrong. Kia is very well known to load their cars with options. My Stinger GT2 is absolutely loaded. Heated and ventilated Napa leather seats with power bolsters and leg extension. Electronic adjustable suspension with drive modes. 700+ watt 15 speaker Harmon Kardon. Heads up display. Power moon roof. Auto hold, terrain following LED headlights. Surround view cameras. Side mirrors that told down when reversing. Real aluminum interior trim and stainless speaker grills.
@@Cgee3 I used to own a KIA... and it was the top trim with "all" the options... The passenger side seat didn't even have power adjustment. 🤦 Yes, I've seen first hand how "loaded" their cars are... and don't forget their "class leading! " 10 year warranty... If they bothered to ACTUAL honor it when you tell them "hey... My car battery keeps dying after 3 days!"... Their response "You need to drive it more!... Errr ahhh... You need to flip this power switch if it's going to sit for more than two days... Errr ahhh... It's your battery cable that's bad!" ...just glad I sold it before it, too, was added to the mass engine recall that left many cars burnt to a crisp.
@@Cgee3 furthermore... Dum dum... Curb-side folding-down mirrors (when in reverse) has been a feature on every VW for the past ten years... Do you want to brag about your LOADED backup camera too?! 🤣 My wife's minivan has every feature you mentioned and more (except adaptive suspension... because it's a minivan) 🥱
The stingers engine is awesome. Supposedly its fully Forged out the box and with a proper exhaust on sounds the absolute bollox... Out of ALL new cars, it's one of my favourites for sure.
I remember when £52k got you an e92 m3 which at the time was peak super saloon (even though it was a coupe but still….) I had one a couple years back and the original sales receipt was for £56k with a bunch of options. Barely get a coupe golf thingy with a 4 Cyclinder for that these days
I think they are being conservative as a 3.5 litre twin turbo engine from a Lexus LS500 can give 416hp.I think they could increase the boost pressure in the Stinger
@@djdoomy Yes because the EA888 matched with DSG has a well known reputation of punching above it's weight by being faster than cars that on paper have more power e.g. the S3 last gen was faster than S4/S5 last gen. Stinger also weighs 85kg more.
I have a 3.3 Rwd.(USA) Need to brake launch unless it's absolutely dry. 1/4 mile around 13 sec. If you really nail it, just below. Not sure what tires they had in the video. Michelin Pilots standard here. The AWD will def bite more, but the Rwd is a little more playful. Great tracking in a straight line at speed.

As well all know on his first stinger review , he was a badge noob , he disrespected the car , although his second stinger review he was impressed , this man deep down knows hes impressed with it but just cant yell it out loud bc hes a bmw fanboy and he knows this is a killer car looks or engine
Man did I watch this channel alot in 2019.... Good times :,)
Same here
5:37 clearly the Piper just about had the Arteon over the line, also completing the 1/4 mile in 12.9 seconds

Vw have killed it with arteon's shooting brake and coupe design it looks sexy af defently prefer it over kia's-bmw-mercedes design
one has AWD and the other RWD. What a comparison. Genuis. And the road is wet.
And still the rwd wins
- Paul, which car do I should drive?
- The Stinger Ray 😅
I need my medication.
That Arteon looks so nice
I've always said that Arteon needs a six cylinder engine, or at least the Audi five cylinder engine.
Completely agree. I think the 5 cylinder would be especially great to have in the Arteon, it’s such a potent and unique engine
A 6 cyl VW TDI would be nice, a low brow Audi A7 in VW drag.
A shame VW corporate politics nerfed the Arteon, as it could have been a great alternative to the S4/5, but no can't have VW being better than Audi.
Drag racing a RWD and AWD on a wet track…
😄 funny how Matt laughs at 6:59, reminds me of Quagmire from the family guy
The arteon design is on point. Look slick as heck.
I think it would have been different it was a dry track. My Stinger doesnt lose traction on launch at all…
Would be better to see AWD stinger against the Arteon ;)
@Connor Orrino in Germany we have the AWD-Version even.
I love the Kia Stinger, for the price you can't go wrong

K: eep

A: ffordable
🤣... yup, and in classic KIA fashion, they'll leave out tons of minor features to recoup their profits
@@jasono2139 you could not be more wrong.
Kia is very well known to load their cars with options.
My Stinger GT2 is absolutely loaded.
Heated and ventilated Napa leather seats with power bolsters and leg extension. Electronic adjustable suspension with drive modes. 700+ watt 15 speaker Harmon Kardon. Heads up display. Power moon roof. Auto hold, terrain following LED headlights. Surround view cameras. Side mirrors that told down when reversing. Real aluminum interior trim and stainless speaker grills.
@@Cgee3 I used to own a KIA... and it was the top trim with "all" the options...
The passenger side seat didn't even have power adjustment. 🤦
Yes, I've seen first hand how "loaded" their cars are... and don't forget their "class leading! " 10 year warranty... If they bothered to ACTUAL honor it when you tell them "hey... My car battery keeps dying after 3 days!"... Their response "You need to drive it more!... Errr ahhh... You need to flip this power switch if it's going to sit for more than two days... Errr ahhh... It's your battery cable that's bad!"
...just glad I sold it before it, too, was added to the mass engine recall that left many cars burnt to a crisp.
@@Cgee3 furthermore... Dum dum... Curb-side folding-down mirrors (when in reverse) has been a feature on every VW for the past ten years...
Do you want to brag about your LOADED backup camera too?! 🤣
My wife's minivan has every feature you mentioned and more (except adaptive suspension... because it's a minivan) 🥱
May we see comparison between the VW Arteon R and the Skoda Superb 272 bhp?
Just like how you give the 1/4 mile time for the cars. I think you should also give the distance each car took to stop in the braking test
have a kia stinger with awd and it gives a 2019 5.0 mustang a run for its money
No it doesn't, especially and A10 mustang, stinger runs in the 13s for the 1/4 mile. A 2005 GT is a better match for you.
@@smllboy25 lol bruh I do 12.5 stock in my awd stinger
The face lift arteon looks way better especially in the rear bumper area...that stinger is a STINGER 🐝🐝
Review the KIA Stinger!!! Want to see how it is.
Already did
The stingers engine is awesome. Supposedly its fully Forged out the box and with a proper exhaust on sounds the absolute bollox... Out of ALL new cars, it's one of my favourites for sure.
I remember when £52k got you an e92 m3 which at the time was peak super saloon (even though it was a coupe but still….) I had one a couple years back and the original sales receipt was for £56k with a bunch of options. Barely get a coupe golf thingy with a 4 Cyclinder for that these days
Prices are just getting mad nowadays.
its surprising how another full turbo and an extra 1.3 litres only gives 46 more bhp
Under way less strain though
I think they are being conservative as a 3.5 litre twin turbo engine from a Lexus LS500 can give 416hp.I think they could increase the boost pressure in the Stinger
I mean there are cars that make 1000hp from 3L V6 TT and cars that make 300hp. It's a decision they have willingly made.
@@joshhulse6141 Yeah, it's a super cruiser (70mph at 1600rpm) and effortlessly accelerates.
Plenty of stingers around now around 500bhp with a few mods and a tune.
The Arteon would've been quite the car if it had a v6 or an updated vr6 powertrain
Then again, fuel economy.
Awesome video
the KIA would be the quicker car with AWD...
@@bujfvjg7222 way quicker for sure
Impressed by the Stinger, always presumed the 2.0 EA888 even in a heavy Arteon would always win
You'd presume that a car with 50hp and 90Nm advantage would lose the race? No offense but that's just stupid
@@djdoomy Yes because the EA888 matched with DSG has a well known reputation of punching above it's weight by being faster than cars that on paper have more power e.g. the S3 last gen was faster than S4/S5 last gen. Stinger also weighs 85kg more.
I have a 3.3 Rwd.(USA) Need to brake launch unless it's absolutely dry. 1/4 mile around 13 sec. If you really nail it, just below. Not sure what tires they had in the video. Michelin Pilots standard here. The AWD will def bite more, but the Rwd is a little more playful. Great tracking in a straight line at speed.
Another great Video, pity they didn’t have the Peugeot 508 PSE and do the 3 alternative fastbacks too the S5 and 4 Series Gran Coupe
4:50 RWD is not always gonna struggle....
The track is wet literally, and it's clearly visible the Kia is doing a wheel-spin
