Summary
With 377 currently listed for sale and an average price of $21,293.00, 31.6% of 2019 Kia Stingers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Kia Stinger 4.64 / 5 stars.
61.0% of 2019 Stinger models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Kia Stinger stands out as a sporty, premium-leaning liftback that helped Kia move beyond its budget-car image. It was designed to take on German performance cars, and its rear-wheel-drive performance and upscale features gave it real credibility as a driver’s car. The styling is a major part of the appeal, and the car’s five-door liftback body adds practicality to the package without losing its fastback look.
For 2019, the Stinger offered turbocharged four-cylinder or V6 engines, with standard rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. It also came with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, leather seats, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, and a 7-inch infotainment screen. Buyers could also find available features such as LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, an 8-inch infotainment screen, a 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a power-operated sunroof, a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, and high-beam assist.
The 2019 model also benefits from strong safety credentials, including Good scores across the board from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a Top Safety Pick+ designation. At the same time, it is not without compromises: advanced driver-assistance features were not standard, and the back seat is cramped. Even so, the combination of performance, value, and distinctive design makes the 2019 Kia Stinger an appealing choice for buyers who want something more engaging than the typical midsize sedan.

The Stinger is well maintained, the miles are low for the year and all equipment works without issue.

When comparing to the S5 and A7 the stinger has more HP, better standard features and more options for the value. Picked mine up a week ago and really enjoy driving the car. Highly recommend.

Bought a lightly used Stinger GT 2, and absolutely love it. It’s quicker than it looks, drives and rides fantastic when you baby it—and absolutely kills it when driven hard. The twin turbo V6 with the 8 speed auto is incredibly quick, and a blast.

Reviewed a 2019 Kia Stinger on Oct 15, 2021
The car is very impressive. The Charcoal metal flake paint is beautiful in the sun. The car just looks sexy. The interior is excellent and the features are wonderful. Driving experience is a blast. Some said oh you will feel left wanting for the 6 cylinder. Actually the 4 with the turbo is very snappy and get up and goes. If I wanted a drag race car it would be a something different. The Premium has all the bells and whistles and is a complete head turner. The first time driving with the auto shut off caught me off guard. Found the button so no more of that LOL. Buy with confidence in getting a really good car. Third Kia I ahve owned and I love it.

Owners rate it 4.64/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The user feedback points to a car that owners find dependable enough to praise its overall ownership experience, with recurring positives around performance, technology, and value. That kind of feedback matters because it suggests the car can be a satisfying long-term choice when you find one that has been cared for properly.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the model’s appeal and more about choosing a well-maintained example with a clean history and solid condition.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Kia Stinger?
At 59.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can catch hidden damage or repair quality issues. Focus closely on body condition, panel alignment, interior wear, and any signs that the car has been repaired after a collision.
Because this model is valued for its performance and premium feel, condition matters a lot more than a simple mileage check.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Kia Stinger?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.
- Deal availability: 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 393 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.50% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 59.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,541.38, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Kia Stinger's resale value?
The current average of $21,375 sits slightly below last year's $22,619.
That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can make the car easier to buy now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key is to buy well and keep the car in strong condition so you preserve as much value as possible.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.64/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2019 Kia Stinger or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 59.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.50% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2018 if:
- At $20,336, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $21,375 average.
- The debut year emphasizes Kia’s move into upscale performance territory.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2019 if you want the stronger current-market balance of price, satisfaction, and availability. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2018 is the better value-focused alternative, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
