- Kia Now Compares Stinger GT To Porsche Panamera And BMW 6-Series
The Kia Stinger is a more affordable alternative to cars such as the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe and Audi A5 Sportback, undercutting the latter in the USA by over $10,000 in base form.
Much in the same way it put its new Forte against the Lamborghini Aventador, the Korean automaker has released a new video that pits the $41,250 Stinger GT with limited-slip differential pack, against the larger and much more expensive BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe and Porsche Panamera, both of which cost in the region of $90,000.
Supervised by AMCI Testing, the 'comparison test' included four ytials: acceleration, cornering, slalom, and closed-course lap, and each car was driven by a professional racing driver. To no one's surprise, the Korean five-door liftback prevailed in most tests, although the Panamera V6 turned out to be slightly better around corners, whereas the Bimmer came in last each time.
Kia appears to really embrace this practice of pitting its new cars against much more expensive metal. Not that it expects Panamera or Aventador customers to opt for the Stinger or Forte, of course, but it's a novel, way of advertising their new models. They certainly have a sense of humor those guys, don't they?

Lol The person who designed Kia stinger was ex project head of BMW Performance M lineup...
What you expect from him, he knows the flaws of BMW in and out, Kia is every penny worth deal 👍
shinytan bro he put the Kia against the 640i, not even the 650i or the M6. Its Kias fastest sedan vs BMW slowest 6 series.
@@gersonruiz1714 How can you compare a 40k car vs 100+😂🤨 Youre dumb
Bladers97 there’s a lot of cheap cars that are faster than the 640i, even the Stinger but it’s still not a fair brand comparison when u put the brands best against a brands worse
@@gersonruiz1714 It is perfectly fine to compare the two. Its not Kia's fault that BMW overprices their base models
@@gersonruiz1714 What?? Keep in my Kia is much younger, they are getting better and better. Eventually they will go up against BMW's best but for now they're doing a great job, stop complaining.
Happy owner of a Stinger GT2 likes this video.
Have fun man
Are you still happy with it a year later? I'm considering getting one, but long term quality worries me.
BerserkFury89 I’ve also had a 2019 GT2 AWD for about a year now. Not a single problem, they even fixed some of the creaks and rattles of the 2018 models. I’ve gotten about 18 mpg with a lead foot and 93 octane. It’s an amazing car and it’s made my commute & all driving so much more fun!
Now THIS comment, I can get behind. Someone who simply likes THEIR car cause THEY like it. It's the idiot children who babble about BMW or Audi and other luxury/performance cars that aggravate me (with their ignorance).
@@BerserkFury89 ... save your money for next years Acura Type-S.
It aint no ... "Kia".
And the BRAND, overall, it better than Kia.
dunno what the cost will be ... but anyone in theri right mind would spend $55k on a sporty ACURA over a KIA that cost the same money!
Heck, as expensive as brands are becoming, it makes sense to just go straight for BENCHMARK BRANDS, like BMW, Audi and MB.
Only thing is, for OWNERS, once that warranty runs out ... its heck of expensive IF things go wrong. Smaller brands may not be as expensive long term.
Heck, why don't ya'll just go certified preowned?
I found a 2013 Audi RS5 with less than 14000 miles. And that model sounds GREAT! It's practically a "new" car.
I also found a few BMW 7 Series that were 2017 year models for about 30-40K off the original cost. Dont remember the mileage. I've always wanted a 7, but they are too "executive" for me these days. That 8 look sick ... but I can't afford that at all.
Ford is coming out with a new electric car. Looks pretty cool ... for a Ford.
Hyundai is bringing their GV80 ... and its a BEAUT! But, I can't wrap my head around spending that much $$$ for a Hyundai!
Volvo is doing well these days too.
So, shop around. If you are going to spend THAT much money on a darn KIA, you should really, really look around. There are some interesting things coming down the pipe.
Soo many butt hurt german car owners who wasted $ 🤣
😂😂😂😭
For reals lol 😂😭
But, to their defense, the interior may be a little nicer 🤣
The German car people are not be they know the Panamera used for this was a non turbo V 6 with 300 hp. That’s the slowest platform. Try running again St the other v6twin turbo🤔 that’s where you will remain silent.
People who can afford luxury sedans like BMW 340i, Jaguar XE S, Audi S4, etc., don't care about money. The Kia is a damn good car for the price, but it's still a Kia. And now that's it's been out for a while and there's operating history available, it's suffering from some pretty bad reliability issues.
Lastly, out of all those I mentioned, I'll take a Jag over a Stinger any day simply for the look and the raw sound. Just can't be replicated.
@@APlife764 it's still a Porsche it should win
Stinger It's just korea sending the middle finger to the Germans.
I think Japanese manufacturers have lost touch with their cars of old. Kia has made what the Japanese were good at.
They took the german design, and built a car. Big deal, anyone can do that.
@@sherylellingson3538
Anyone can do that eh? Why doesn't Chevy do that? Why doesn't Totota do that?
Why does Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche do it at TWICE the price?
Your comment bleeds ignorance.
@@NB-rg6rk
Oh really?
Chevy no longer makes the SS. It failed. Perfect example.
Toyota Supra is a 2 door sports coupe. Not a 4 door luxury sedan.
Fail. But nice try.
@@sherylellingson3538 Okay, go do it then, have fun and let us know when you're finished.
Previous car : 2014 BMW 428i xDrive sport
Current car: 2017 Stinger GT AWD
The BMW 3 years ago was more expensive than the stinger I got last month. The Stinger literally has everything the BMW has plus all sorts of tech I’ve never seen before.
Cool thing about the BMW? You guessed it- the badge.
Does your Stinger have infrared night vision and auto pilot?
@@kylerobinson8913 who the fuck needs night vision
Yep, in this case, the premium brands give you just the badge, considering the warranty you get from KIA
I have your same 428i msport. I got it for 25k 1 year ago. I like it.
LOL KIA
Half the price and out performs.... 10 year/100km warranty... yeah, I think it is worth trying out.
OUtperforms!? The only people that are beign fooled, are peole who do NOT know cars.
This Kia is the TOP OF THE LINE in Kia sadans. The Porsche and the BMW are heavier and NOT even a "Turbo" OR an "M" Go up agaisnt those ... and get dusted all over the track. Kida knows this too. So, they are being very selective, but they are stupid. ALL cars that try this only get imbarassed when BMW chooses to respond. Always.
@@DonCornelius366 but Kia has beaten cars much more expensive than it. THE BMW 6 SERIES IS AN M SPORT VERSION. Did you watch this video ?!
The Kia costs less than half compared to these two cars!
Be fair and accept the facts. A 40k $ korean outperforms two 90k $ german cars. What more can you ask?
@@startube2788 Uh ... to a novice who doesn't know cars, I guess it does. But there are plenty of cars who "beat" something in a straight that is still absolute trash. Honday CIVICS can burn out "muscle cars"
And? Wha'ts your point?
smh
Tell you want, you go and find me car bands compairing their vehicles to KIA, then come find me.
I don't even have to go and look for cars compairing their vehciles to a BMW cause this video is just one of 10s of thousands.
You want to know why? BENCHMARK. Novice.
Kia is NOBODY'S "benchmark"! The reason so many cars compare their vehicles to BMW is because it sets BENCHMARKS.
Furthermore, to take Kia's "FASTEST" model and compare it to a 6 Series (which is *NOT* a M6! "M Sport" is NOWHERE NEAR an M6's performance!!) ... is laughable. That's not even an M nor it is the proper class to go against the Kia Stinger! I would think the M440 would be the ideal car ... and even that is NOT a M4 (since you don't seem to konw the difference between a real M car, and a "M Sport" or M440i") So, either the guys in the video are dumb, or you are.
would
enthusiast
Now, novice, let me teach you a little something about BRANDS.
Take away that V6 and what do you have? Just another darn KIA that no one gives a rip about! ONE car, and you simps are babbling about this ONE car! The rest of the BRAND is trash!
Now, take away EVERY M car in the BMW lineup, and what do you have? You STILL have powerful V8s! You STILL have twin-turbo V6s! You STILL have luxury ... of ALL models!
But you children want to babble about ONE Kia with a V6 Engine!?
LOL!!
Then why are these stinger dudes MODDING their cars so heavily, and rebadging!?
Oh ... did I strike a nerve?
You don't see Jaguar or BMW or Audi or MB or Lexis owners rebadging their vehicles do you? Nope. Do you want to know why? Because a KIA is still a KIA! And Kia is trash!
Heck, I don't even like cars anyway. I love my X5 just fine. But I would WAIT for the new Acura Type-S new year than get a Kia Stinger tomrrow! At least I know the BRAND has luxury and a bit of performance. What do you have with Kia? A V6 .... in a KIA!
LOL @ you!
Maybe you should look at the SALES of this "grand Kia". They aren't doing very well. Did you even know that? Yup. It's still a KIA buddy.
Save your $$$ for that Acura Type-S instead.
Or ... come on over to where the big boys play and get yourself a Bimmer, or Audi, or MB, or Jaguar. Heck, I'm even looking at Alfa Romero myself ... just cause almost no one has one.
@@DonCornelius366 A sports car is not just about the engine mate. A car with powerful engine needs to have many other things. Like a strong chassis, a transmission that can stand the torque of that engine, performance breaks, and other things. So that Kia is not just a powerful engine in a regular car.
You think you can put a 360hp engine in a regular car and make it work? The transmission will fail very soon, the clutch, breaks, and other things.
The Stinger is a great car and it gots performance parts from big makers.
Don't tell me about BMW ,Audi's and Afla Romeo, these cars are not reliable mate. cheers!
@@startube2788 I know that very well.
The kia stinger was engineered by a ex 32 year BMW M DIVISION ENGINEER. Of course this thing is badass what did you expect when you find out this information.
Don't forget the chief audi engineer
Peter schreyer was a huge engineer for audi/vw and is the chief designer engineer for the Kia stinger platform. So they got BMW and Audi on it. You can see the audi inspiration throughout the car. Especially the design of the rear of the car. Beautiful car all around
@@chaseisonthecase2122 it is but the American public doesn't appreciate it just like nobody appreciated the Cadillac cts-v wagon and that's a thing of the past. Stinger is gorgeous
@@geemanbmw dude... I had the 2017 cts-v wagon a few cars back. I loved that thing. Had room and balls
So annoyed with the "but it's a Kia comments"
BMW driver here....it stings for sure! Driving experience in a bimmer is second to none. But I also own a 7 year old KIA Sorento V6 and I am happy with the performance and long term ownership. Great job Kia.
Good to hear someone with an ego that is not in the clouds. And that KIA Sorento was not even marketed towards the luxury sport sedan demographic. I challenge anyone that doesn't think the Stinger is fantastic to go to your local KIA dealer and drive one. There is no way you get out of the car and think "it is just a cheap KIA."
Troy Remy oh I don’t doubt the stinger is a great drive. I’ve had loaner a 2016 Kia Rio and mid trim Optima while the Sorento was in the shop and have been impressed with how fun they are to drive. I’ve sat in a Stinger and the fit and finish is on par with luxury cars twice the price. The Kia brand has proven itself!
@@impossiblecrazyrc8299
Oh I was completely agreeing with your first comment. I re-read what I wrote and I came off a bit combative.
What I was meaning to say was that you understand what great cars KIA is now making with an unbiased opinion; as such, others with a biased view towards the brand should consider their perception of what makes a great company/car.
Troy Remy all good brotha! I wanted to solidify my opinion about Kia. 🍻
I have a 4 series and the Stinger is on fire.. I've seen one at my car wash place and boy it looked great.
Insecure. badge whores triggered. Good job Kia.
I need a KIA Stinger in my driveway 😎
Best 48k i ever spent love my STINGER and it looks as good as it performs!!
Wow kia is awesome
AM I LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE A KIA IS MORE SPORTY THAN A BMW?????????
No. I'ts not. This is just a video of a lightweight going against heavier cars that aren't even at the top of their engine class. A KIA doesn't stand a CHANCE against an M6 or a Panamera Turbo. Not even a single chance!
@@DonCornelius366 what you mean havier? Stinger is nearly 2ton
@@DonCornelius366 for 120k and 174k respectively, I wouldn't compare a Stinger to either... I hope for that cash those cars win lol.
@@Zam1Fear 98% of car owners don't drive on a track. They are far happier with the engineering and luxury an even the brand (and cleanliness of the dealership) than these ... other brands.
Take away that V6 ... and its still a KIA. Nonthin luxury or performing abotu their BRAND lineup.
Take away the engine the others and you STILL have world class enginering, a respectable and accomplished brand, luxury, and even MORE powerful engines - the M.
So, take away the V6 in the Stinger .. and all you have is KIA.
lol
Take away the engine of both others, and the BRAND looses NOTHING.
@@DonCornelius366 That Kia was engineered by Albert Biermann from the BMW M division... Frankly, I'd rather drive a Kia that can perform closely to M and S cars and also help me put money towards other things in life rather than repairs after warranty runs out. There is nothing, I mean nothing impressive about any BMW under a 28 and Audi's ride is boring. Mercedes C class are among the most uncomfortable luxury cars I've been in and everyone I know who has owned any German luxury car has gotten rid of them because of the problems that come with them after warranty runs out. Also, the Kia Stinger garners many compliments from BMW owners and Audi owners alike. Kia never marketed itself to be a high performance luxury brand and you shouldn't interpret it as such. They managed to make a kick ass car that had gotten far more attention from car enthusiasts than most German cars of the same years. If brand is what you're going for, that's fine, but that also reflects your lack of knowledge that there's a hell of a lot more going on under the hood than the badge on top of it. Your German car will be almost as common as a Honda civic with a fraction of the features of a Stinger at almost 15k more brand new, and it will lose its value greatly as the years pass. Perhaps then it will be cheap enough for you to purchase and impress your friends while you eat Kraft dinner because all your money is going to nonsense repairs that these companies don't want you to do yourself.
im real happy for kia
I have owned more than a few German/British/Japanese cars over the past 27 years. Audi (A4/A6), Mercedes (e350), BMW (328/550i/745Li), Jagaur (XF/XE), Infiniti (M45/G37). I never halfway looked at a Kia until I went to a dealer three weeks ago to help my mother-in-law get a car. They had a brand new black stinger on the showroom floor I couldn't keep my eyes off it. Long story short, I traded my Jaguar XF for the showroom stinger after I test drove one from the lot. I absolutely love how the car handles on the highway. Albert Biermann from BMW did a good job in aiding in the design of the stinger. Honestly, it does handle better than the 3 and 5 I previously owned. I can't believe that I own a KIA!! There aren't too many on the roads here in Augusta, GA either, so I get asked the magic question all the time: "What is that!!" I use to cringe when answering, but know I proudly say its a KIA!
Most German engineers work with American, Japanese, and Korean cars. That is why they are getting as good as them. Look at the Supra, perfect example of a first crossover sports car by two rival countries that makes sports cars to rival each other !
I just saw a Stinger on the road today, and it looks niiiceee
Great car guys.
I'm still happy with my 4cyl turbo 2013 Optima SXL. It's not a top performer but I still love it.
Junk.
Hey what’s the top speed in that?
@@deontaybonorden6787 It got to 98mph fast enough to get me a big fat $$. Srry, I digress, 0 to 60mph in about 5 seconds for me, (which feels fastl, I've read its limited at about 150mph.
Actions speak louder than words. Great job KIA!
Big brands selling only BRAND not innovation now a days.
The Kart -> Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid...
... you obviously don't own luxury BRANDS. Fact is, "brands" have been CHASING BMW for decades and decades. Things that BMW boasted for many years is becoming a STANDARD.
There's only 1 way to say "leather" and "tech"
@@DonCornelius366 damn you must really regret buying a bmw.
@@DonCornelius366 funny that base model BMWs don't even use real leather.
@@Zam1Fear
1)
What is "real leather"?
2)
And BMW offers options, and while those options may change, BMW has traditionally offers buyer the choice between real leather and leatherette. Their R&D division wrks to not only bring world-class engineering, but to remain sensitive to the earth and its natural resources. What? You don't like steak? I do. Save the cows!
3)
What is a "base model"? You think that "base model" are the 'lower levels' such as the 1, 2, and 3 series? Or the X1, X2 and X3s?
Base model is simply the entrance model of its OWN model range ... and the "base model" X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 ALL come with leather interior. Did you even bother to look this up?? I didn't need to. I'm guessing the X1 doesnt. Maybe the X2 as well.
Same thing for the 5, 6,7 and 8 series. All leather. So, what in the world are YOU talking about?
The "base model" is merely the entry point (starting point) of that models range. But YOU said that the "base models" don't have leather.
... that's crazy unlearned talk.
BMW {used to} offer "nappa" as an option. That was years ago.
No matter how you feel about each of the brands, its hard to deny how good the stinger is
I'm a big fan of German Cars (particularly BMW) and I Happily Agree.
Amazing results for the Stinger!
how is this possible ?
different tires
It was engineered by Germans
cuz kia is best
@Patrick Conway here's a kleenex. Wipe those tears away. That a kid. Chin up. There there.
Kia oversea's pays far less for labor, you'll find some strike articles if you look. They pay well in America. They can deal out the parts and performance because the large work force is underpaid overseas. that's how they meet the quality of BMW for a lower price
I was reviewing SUV's I'm shopping for, and came across this on youtube.. checked it out.. test drove it twice and put one in my driveway :-).. Handles great.. took a 180 curve off ramp and accelerated to over 80kms/hr with now tire squeel and with ease. Then the bembro brakes came in handy :-) . Love it so far. K & N filters are in and hope to take it to a track or drag strip in spring. :-)
Same performance as the Genesis g70 sedan and the up coming G70 Coupe (2020)!💯👍🏻
Again completely insane and stupid BMW owners talking utter crap... German cars in general totally over priced and crap reliability. I've driven many cars and owned one Kia and private leased 2 more Kia's.. I can honestly say Kia are the best I've ever driven. Not only that, they are better designed and come with a lot of tech. Would take the Stinger for £42k over those others any day of the week..
Matthew Haverly BMW has been in my family for over 30 years and we have never ever had reliability issues I was handed down a E46 BMW 330ci convertible with 105k km and I drove it right up to 232k km I used to do doughnuts and drift in that thing and all I had to maintain was the tyres brakes and the usual service intervals. My nephew is the new owner and that thing still goes like a bull. So get your facts straight about reliability..fact is if you service your car you shouldn't have issues so....have you even ever owned a BMW?
I can say the same as Andrew, I'll admit, as the car(s) get older, they do need to go visit the shop now and then but it's not all too bad. German Cars seem to have gotten way more reliable then they used to be. Anyways the Kia Stinger itself is a great car and there's no doubt about it.
Matthew Haverly German cars will have crap reliability if you treat them like crap. So since you don't like German cars, if you were to ever own one, you'd probably treat it like crap. I've heard about many different German cars going 1,000,000 KM/MILES, but never a Kia
Andrew Smith Glad you've had a good experience with your cars. Was mainly just venting anger at the BMW fan boys.. and their annoying comments.
I love opel tho
Everyone dissing germans when the stinger was made by a bmw engineer...
John Wick true
This is hands down my favorite video. Real race with multiple courses and all Stock. Great job, please make make more with the Stinger.
The Stinger is stepping up ahead 🔥💪🏻
LONG way from truly competing with a BMW or a Porsche though. The KIA is the TOP of its range. The Porshe is NOT a "Turbo" and the BMW is NOT a "M6". KIA would get embarassed if they were honest!
MessengerOfTruth What’s embarrassing is charging double the price for what? Also embarrassing how much of a fanboy you’re coming out as!
@@dlexd ... only to those who can't afford it. Otherwise ...
Dont care one way or the other. At the end of the day, the Stinger is STILL a *KIA* and NONE of you cat are talking about ANY other Kia model. Facts. LOL In fact, through that V6 in the trash and watcvha got? NOTHING. Ya'll wouldn't even be talking!
Fanboy? smh
I would take that HYUNDAI Gv80 coming out next year over this darn KIA stinger!
Heck, I'd wait for the *Acura Type S* coming next year over a {KIA} this year! At least even without the engine its an ACURA, not a KIA! The BRAND has already proven itself with several model.
Luxury and performance BRANDS consider of MULTIPLE vehicles to boast of, not just ONE V6 engine. smh
Knock it off, snowflake.

@@dlexd Are you daft or what? Didn't I tell you aready? If you have that kind of car, those aren't issues.

You have teh $$$
I own a BMW X5, long out of its warranty. You don't see me going to buy a darn KIA. LOL
Dummies keep making up stupid things. Look, at the end of the day, a KIA is still a KIA! None of you are doing "Kia Meets" for any other badge of Kia! In fact, take away that ONE V6 and the whole darn Brand is full of PISS vehicles.
Take away the 6 series ... or even the 3 series ... the BMW {BRAND} still has the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, 1 Series, 2 Series, 4 Series, 7 Series AND the 8 Series ... not to mention the electic i3 and i8 ... and not to mention all the M.
The BRAND is an luxury BRAND! *EVERY* vehcile! And you still babbling to me about a darn ... KIA!
Look man, I'm done with this stupid topic. Fade away. If you like Kia so darn much, go get yourself a Kia Soul and bring it to an Audi or BMW or BM Meet. I'm sure you'll be allowed to eat the chicken and enjoy the fun! It'll be like "going to Church" EVERYONE is WELCOMED!
smh
Quote:"AMCI Testing, an unbiased, independent test organization was engaged by Kia to perform this test."
Wow! Korean car half the cost of German cars. Kicking a ass every segment. What the happened to Japanese or American??? That's very impressive. Greatest achievement Korean 👍👍👍
It’s nice to see that Kia is finally getting some attention and respect for this badass car! One of the best looking cars on the market today. I don’t care if it is a Kia, I would buy the stinger any day! Kia is setting the bars high for every other brand! great job Kia!
I hear you Kia.. kicking serious ass
of course it is its a perfromance car whereas the other 2 are not
Looka at a real comparasion that show more important values of a sport car as the top speed brakes and second Kia will never make a engine like the germans do.And if that bmw would be a Audi rs the hole video woud be lame 😂😂
Though the marketing remark said was "less than half the cost" compared to those 2 cars.
I is not serious.
C.G.O Recordz yeah I mean If you wanna put your top of the line corvette vs the 4cylinder mustang instead of the V8 or the Shelby go ahead. Kia is trash.
kia's new boss car, student is outdoing the teachers.
Good comment
6 Series is in a whole different class... Its heavier, longer, wider, match the Kia against a 440i Gran Coupe and you'll see it get destroyed.
Lighter car with similar HP figures compared to 6 series winning a drag race? Doesn't take a physicist to see why
Exactly. Only BMW people and car enthusiast know this. All these KIA fanboys don't have a clue. This "Stinger" is the TOP of the Kia line. Let it go up against the TURBO Porsche, or the M6 ... and get destroyed.
And KIA are so dishonoest, they would get the lowest engine of the 4 series. LOL They don't DARE touch the iconic M4. They don't dare.
MessengerOfTruth Even when comparing a stinger to an m4, there is still about a $30k difference. You’re saying to compare a stinger to a turbo porsche or m6? Thats even bigger of a difference. That’s like saying lets compare an m6 to a huracan! It would get destroyed! BMW people am i right?
I agree with you.
This guys just want to make the Kia stinger look good at all cost 🤣
And for the record, BMW driving dynamic is second to non.
BMW 6 series is not the same class as the Stinger. should have tested the M3 or the M4 which being a performance pack car is more like the Kia Stinger performance package version tested in size and wieght. BMW M3 0-60 in 4.0 seconds and the M4 does it in 3.8 seconds
Stinger is similarly sized to an M5
Maybe a 440i gran coupe. M3/4s are smaller, less practical, and much more expensive of course
Honfy Lam it beats the 440xi
Test drove a GT Limited this morning, I AM IN LOVE!!!!
No, the only good car is the GTS. The GT is just another Kia
but they are slower. Both of those need a tire to break into the 12s
I have decided on the GT Limited up here in Canada, KIA should not get the bad Rap they still get, they make top of the line Vehicles I am coming out of a 2015 Optima SX so this is a logical and exciting Upgrade. I am not a Brand snob and if I can save 10k by not getting a badge then that is indeed what I am going to do. KIA is on there way up...But to each his or her own.
@BoardGameBuddha.Wrap the badge when you get it...
Hahah xD
Commercial paid by Kia! 😂😂
Absolutely
Yeah it looked a bit sales-y once they put up an ad at the end but the numbers do add up.
This is so unfair there putting a Kia gt and a BMW 640i with a Porsche Panamara of course the Porsche is going to win get the bmw m3 or m5 those are real super sedans and i bet you one of them will destroy the both of them
These are all 4-door Hatchbacks/ Sportback/ Fastbacks, still within fairgrounds, and considering an M3 and an M5 start at ~67k and ~100k (2019 prices) respectively. So I sure hope they will destroy both the Stinger and the Panamera which start at ~51K and ~86k (2019 prices) respectively. Rather than using the M3 or M5, use the 4 series gran coupe M sport, which fully loaded would cost around 68k, I think that would be a more fair comparison cause it hits that middle ground. But that's just my thoughts on this. Either way, this is just marketing for the KIA Stinger
Rowell Mascardo no sir the 640 is not good to use for this comparison because it’s not designed to be a sports car it’s a luxury car that weighs close to 1000 lbs more than the Kia
Kia commercial or not, just the fact a kia is a real competitor to those high end brands is a remarkable achievement
But the Stinger GT is the flagship model, the panamera and the 640i arent
kerem should be going up against the 340i more sportier car
but the kia is half the price so what do you want ?
Actually you should appreciate that a 40k car beats a 90k car.
Roby Dany yea but there’s tons of cars that are cheaper and beat more expensive cars people who buy 100k cars aren’t buying them just for the speed in reality there’s plenty of cars that can beat the stinger gt for the price too so gtfo of here 😂
@@katokioo can you give me an example of a new car which is cheaper than Stinger and beats it?
No trashy talk please. Thank you.
Roby Dany the mustang gt for a perfect example😂 but it’s ok you can stick too your cheap ass Kia with its 360 hp while actual car enthusiasts will choose a performance car with way more horsepower then a silly Kia and that’s supposed to be there too of the line model too and it can’t even beat an old 550i from like 2012 😂😂 keep talking it’s making me laugh now gtfo here like I told you to do fanboy
Hang on a minute, You put the fastest ever KIA against the slowest Panamera and the slowest 6 series!.......... Seams fair?
@William Morgan you get more than speed for both the bmw and porsche. You get luxury and performance. (and looks although subjective)
Exactly .
Having reviewed the video and comments, I have come to the conclusion that in order for this to be a "fair" test the KIA must: 1) be compared to a vehicle that costs 3x it's price or 2) be compared to a vehicle of a different type or size. Simple!
Or maybe a car that’s actually its size they put it against cars that have less power than a g37😭
Kia Stinger might not be the best car but It has the greatest value.
Brand new Kia owner. I have the GTS model. I love this video. 🤪
That's dope
Kia's showing some real potential for some sweet cars. I love it.
KIA deserves some credit. They did a great job, and it's really just the badge that's throwing everybody off.. I'll give my two cents;
When I traded in for my 2016 911 at Porsche, the salesman said something to me that I believe is incredibly accurate. The German brands bang out a lot of very cheaply made production cars (for Porsche it's the Macan, BMW the smaller vehicles x1, 3 series x3 etc.) and they rely on the sales of these cars to manufacture their REAL German engineered beasts which are their M products, or in Porsche's case their performance vehicles. The funny part is, it's that same M badge that is the staple that made the BMW brand itself popular & high - end, but their production cars are so far off of their M products. At the end of the day, KIA's real challenge is going to be in its consistency to produce vehicles like this. If they revolutionize the remainder of their model line-up and do some rebranding (the badge looks too cheap for starters) they may earn a place near BMW, Mercedes, Audi in 50+ years from now.
People need to realize that the German brands are as popular as they are because they have a very long heritage of making fantastic cars and doing it consistently. Other automakers like KIA need to earn their spot, and it takes time & a lot of effort plain and simple. My view? I think this vehicle will suffer in sales due to the Germans existence, and incentives will be offered out to compensate for their disappointing sales volume, cheapening the car and ultimately forcing KIA to downgrade the model which will keep it redundantly in the same class of vehicle that they have made up until now. A lot of automakers have tried to release these game changing cars over the years, but consumers have time and time again preferred their BMW's & Mercedes. The only saving grace to keep the quality of this KIA up is that they continue increasing in sales for their other vehicle to support the expenses of producing this car in what I think will be a low volume few years coming up.
Traded in my 3 series for a Stinger GT2. If you can get over the badge, its a superior vehicle in every way.
the Kia is probably the best buy but for my cash it's the panamera
Not best buy just fastest here. The BMW and Porsche are both family car models.
Don Berry All 3 sport sedans
@@60viking so is Kia stinger a family sedan, stinger is the most practical one with most truck space as well... Lol
I mean... I love BMW but who buys 6 series gran coupe
J I think that 6 series gran coupe is perfect car for families! Just like the Audi A7 and Mercedes cls!
It was just out of curiosity I bought a Stinger 3 months ago. Stinger has been far more satisfactory than expected and I am still so much into my car.
I bought one Kia Stinger GT 2 1 months ago, What an amazing car, All in one package. So fast, So reliable, High end and high Class with one of the best designs. Cars with 100k can't beat this car.
I had plan to buy a Porsche Cayman but I changed mind to Stinger since I could save a lot money and get a good car which have all features and performance with cheaper price. So my pocket and me are both happy now :)
So if you must buy a foreign car it might as well be the cheapest one.
Great work Kia
Either that or they won't buy a $50k car with a great V8 but no style that just looks like a beefy Chevy Cruze.
This car reminds of my 2013 Ford Taurus SHO. One of the funnest cars I've owned and basically a sleeper.
Anton Zuykov Kia gives huge discounts. The SS was overpriced and Chevy didn't really discount them.
Maybe if American made cars lasted and was as reliable as let's jus say a Kia more Americans wouldn't buy other models
Robert Lee James Welch فعلا كلامك صحيح
Honda should make a accord type R V6 twin turbo with around 400hp.
Pao Xiong no.
that will cost more than u guess....
Dream on
Accord is a front wheel drive, can't compete with rear wheel drives...
Kia paid for this episode.
This year the competitors to the germans are really throwing down the gauntlet, you have the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and now the Stinger and Stinger GT.
The germans are getting more competition than they ever had, and they need to step up their game
3:36 Whoever is driving almost hit that pillar!
The fact that a Kia is even being compared to a Porsche and BMW is a huge win for Kia imo.. Sure, not exactly an apple to apples comparison, but sure, a comparison of GT cruisers that are about similar in size and power, sure...I get it. I drove in my buddy's Panamera last night (I think ~3 years old) and he made a sudden U-turn and it made some CRAZY SOUNDS in the wheel well...think the wheels were rubbing? (Wheels are completely stock too, fyi) I heard about locking the noises when locking the steering wheel when reversing in Porsches too... WTF Porsche can't fix this? Anyways, I'm a brand snob but I'm still buying this Kia... Super impressed. I'll just have to change the bad to the "E" logo you can buy in Korea...
You take heavier cars with weaker engines and - miracle - they lose :)
Stinger wins on number of squeaks, creaks and rattles.
I have one and it has none of that.In fact the interior is on par with a Honda crossstour I traded in--which is fine with me.
I bought the gt-line, happy)
Holy shit this thing is as fast as a 2017 Mustang GT!!! Yet it’s heavier and has significantly less horsepower!!!
First of all, you should have used a 5 series. The 6 series is BMW's heaviest sedan! Anyone that spends $50k on a kia is a complete moron. You could have a well equipped 328i that would wreck any kia around the track. Let alone on the street.
😂 booty tickled
I totally agree with you on this
People who buy BMW and Porsche will never buy Kia, no matter it cost less.
BMW: pleather seats and a lackluster interior, with a nice badge and good handling.
That shit was rigged
Jesus Sandoval it kinda had to be, it's a commercial. Wouldn't it be weird if they lost 😂
This is a car you would want to put in a James Bond movie! THIS CAR HAS CLASS!!!
They could have compared this to an M2 (365 BHP) but they didn’t because it would just destroy it. They literally compared this to BOATS. Who knows, maybe that engine could handle over 800 WHP on the stock internals. Looking forward to what it can do
Butthurt BMW fans in the comments.LOL.
Galaxy yeah these ignorants are everywhere
Kia and Hyundai all the way. People will start hopping on the Kia and Hyundai bandwagon later when they start realizing theyre shit Bmw and Mercedes keep breaking down on them, and notice the Kias and Hyundais drivers are having a good day driving around and NOT in the mechanic shops.lol Just to be clear, I'm talking about the newer Kias and Hyundai so dont bring up the older models. because that's a different story...Hyundai and Kia really stepped (stepping) up they're game. Don't hate just accept it.. they're up there now. If you disagree you're lying to yourself. I'm in the car business I know what I'm talking about.
Noel Lopez they're still really boring and ugly cars tho
CoreyTrevor Smokes lets go that's something a hater would say.
Noel Lopez no it's something a car guy would say
They are stepping up. But no, people will not leave the Germans for this. If you say you’re in the car business you should obviously see that Kia compared their best vehicle to some base model Germans. What does that prove? “Our best performing car with a subpar interior beats your slowest luxury car”. Come on.
The Skeev I sold my 335 i for a kia optima sxl. My brother sold his shit too.we both bought bmws around the same time. He got a Hyundai Sonata now. My sister had a 2010 mercedes c230 she also sold her pos. what do you mean? not only that I know a few more people that did the same shit. And Just so you know a Kia optima can be compared with a Mercedes c230 and a bmw 328i.lol I know what the fuck I'm talking about. say no more.lol
I wish that at any given time I could pause this commercial at the end and get a nice screenshot of the Stinger but whoever made this decided it was a good idea for the screen to flicker or move on to the next image/action in less than 1 second, constantly.
Then you get inside and see the interiors and realize why the prices differ.
You definitely have a point but KIA is definitely stepping up I wanted a mid size SUV never had one but the sorento caught my eye over the infinity I have to say it was definitely bang for buck like way more bang for a new zero mile vehicle but I do want a car as well this stinger is looking pretty good and Audi is on the menu both cars are very powerful great features but KIA offer a better warranty kia my be the underdog and you have to admit buddy she's making noise
ERIC PULLEN Does the Kia offer run on sentences though?
ERIC PULLEN I
I have a Kia Sorento. I love it and think it’s a great deal for the price. I got the highest spec and it feels great and comfortable but can put power down when needed.
Punctuation would be nice
Beachthony Housetano why it's a streaming site
You can’t do that, Stinger vs Panamera and BMW 640i , are two huge cars with a compact sport car, make it right bring a M3 for that
The Stringer has a similar weight to the Panamera.
M3 is smaller than the stinger. Gran coupe and panamera fit the right body style and weight. They are big coupe styled sedans. The m3 is just a normal sedan.
Lock JR rubbish, the 6 series is much bigger than a stinger- different segment completely. In fact if we use your logic we can say the 6 series is heavier and bigger than a stinger. So the fact the stinger is slightly bigger than a 3 series kills your argument. The 4 series is the 3 series coupe btw. Compare to an M3 - bye bye stinger.
Their size and weight are similar
buthurt bmw fan
Hyundai and Kia has done great in terms of letting car designer do their job and push their products to the next level. While everyone focuses on Trucks, SUVs and Crossovers. They are taking the fight to the meat and bone of the major competition.
All the fanboys bashing it out in the comments of the 3 companies are missing the big picture. The price for what you get in the stinger GT, 50k for the performance it has, with the level of Features and luxuries it has are really amazing for the price point
These cars aren't even in the same class. Put the Stinger up against the new BMW M3, Alpha Romeo Quadrifoglio, and the Mercedes C63 amg. The kia falls into this class of cars not the gran touring BMW or the non turbo panamera.
Genesis g70...
When you see it, you will shut up...
Alfaquadrofoglio, m3 and all theese are not in the same class like kia. Second thing is....german cars are just crapy overpriced and overated stupid junkboxes
I love kia❤️
Why would you compare the Stinger to these cars? This must be one of the worst set up videos ever.
Why must you be so butthurt? Let go of your hate. KIA has been aiming at BMW for a while. This is what happens when you get stuck thinking you’re the best and rest on your backside. I’ve owned BMW and yes they perform very well but my new Stinger GT2 spanks that ass!
Please explain it to Randy Pobst ... who test drive the Kia Stinger to the limits....
Good job Kia, can you imagine what would happen if you put that up against the panamera with the twin turbos(🤔😁🙄😩😆) or just the V8...it would really be no contest
Is this car faster and better than my Rio? I'm just curious
Kia have batter Engine performance 3.3 ltr then Bmw 640i have 3.0 ltr engine..
So kia have good performe...
Kia getting youtubers to advertise for them. Nice! Smarter than the germans!
also the kia wasn't meant to compete with GT cars, but more with sports saloons like the bmw m4 and the Mercedes amg c63 etc
Good job KIA😎👏
يوسف الشيتي أيه والله good job kia
I absolutely love my stinger
Being compared to a panamera and BMW 6 series... Bloody hell Kia well done
Kia should advertise the Stinger more in the UK. It amazes me the amount of people have still never even heard of this car. It’s too good to be kept in the dark.
Good job to Kia, but your testing KIA’s top model against Porsche’s base model and a mundane BMW. Still tho the Kia is really inexpensive but come on.
Liam Foster agreed.
The idea was testing it against sporty named competitors who were both DOUBLE the cost. Meaning dollar amount =/= performance.
No one will buy a kia over a porsche.
That's a ballsy transition at 3:36 ... one wrong move and they could've folded the right rear wheel under the car or smacked a pillar. Great vehicle control!
clap, clap, clap. Well done, Kia. But ... at the end of the day, I'm overly certain that NO Porsche or BMW owners are going to be lining up outside a Kia dealership. Maybe the Ford and Hyunda and Honda folk, but not us.
Next time, compare it to cars that are actually IN its class, not the heavier cars with smaller engines than the turbo or M. smh
No one cares... smh.
I hate how they never get the full version of the car
What do you mean? Did you really expect them to get an M6 and a Turbo S?
This test was a fair comparison.
Unfair indeed. They`d better get an 440i Grand Coupe instead of 6 series. Kia is faster but you will be feeling like riding a bicycle instead of a car compared to BMW and Porsche.
A bicycle? What a stupid analogy son.FYI Albert Biermann ex BMW M head developed this car.
I wouldn't say it's unfair, as a 640i should have enough power and electronic controls to push the car to the max. But it's true the 6 series is not really the class of the stinger, rather a 4 series you`re right!
ryosuke's rx7 Yeah a 4 series or a 5 series woulda been comparable. A 540i xdrive woulda been the best comparison but
2.2K BMW owners were offended...
(I am one of them but enjoyed the video lol)
So basically, KIA hired an engineer from BMW's M-Division to make a KIA out-BMW a BMW...and it did...
If the KIA Stinger GT becomes a reliable car, other car makers will have to step up their game. When Lexus came out with the LS430, it crushed the competition because Lexus offered more for less money and the LS model was very reliable.
I love kia stinger. That is just one fucking badass 😍😍😍😍
Tenzin Thosam yeah I like the Dodge charger rear end on it 👍lol 🤦♂️
You’re gay
Fake numbers
A true man´s car: Supra 2jz
@@Soytudiosp3rra there he goes, the supra fanboy
In Australia these are priced for top of range for roughly 60k no thx not for a KIA and it ssys on KIA website 0-100km is 4.9secs with launch assist.
Steve Upton idk if australia has a different stinger but the stinger in the us runs the quarter in 12.6 and 0-60 on 4.6
0-60 mph is 0-96 km/h. This would explain the difference.
yeah...Kia Stinger in Australia is about 70000 thats just absurd..the stinger in U.S is the same as the one here just that 0-60 miles is 4.6 secs and 0-100 kms is 4.9 secs Mars
Very impressive! I’m a Bimmer gal myself but Kia did great on this one.
Literally the Kia is nothing like the Porsche or BMW. You're literally talking about the two most luxury cars on the market vs. A fucking Kia lmaooo
