How much does the 2022 Kia Stinger cost?

Prices have softened 3.05% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 466 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare by trim, mileage, and condition.

Is the 2022 Kia Stinger a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Stinger earns a 4.9/5 user rating and an 8.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its luxurious feel, strong performance, and great handling, and they also call out the comfortable interior and advanced technology. The main trade-offs are the cramped back seat and concerns about the front brakes, which line up with the expert review’s notes about sluggish touchscreen response and braking that can feel less confident than expected.

For you, that means the Stinger makes the most sense if you want a stylish, value-oriented performance sedan with a premium vibe and engaging road manners. It is especially appealing if you care more about driving enjoyment and upscale presentation than rear-seat space. 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is meaningful shopping room in the market.

Is the 2022 Kia Stinger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that feels luxurious, fast, technologically advanced, and comfortable, while also highlighting strong handling. That combination suggests you can count on it to deliver the kind of ownership experience buyers expect from a sporty premium sedan.

The expert review also reinforces that dependability story by describing the Stinger as a legitimate contender after its early growing pains, with most of the rough edges worked out by 2022. Kia’s added maintenance-friendly value proposition helps, too, since the model’s pricing and equipment make it easier to justify ownership over time.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the car was maintained well and that any brake-related concerns were addressed before you buy.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Stinger?

At 71.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has higher mileage or a sportier trim. Pay close attention to brake condition, touchscreen behavior, and overall interior wear, since those are the kinds of issues that can affect day-to-day satisfaction. If you are comparing multiple listings, focus on condition first and equipment second.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The GT-Line starts with a different lighting setup and 18-inch wheels, while GT trims add more LEDs and 19-inch alloys; the GT2 adds the most upscale touches, including Nappa leather, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround view. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting more equipment.
• Powertrain: The GT-Line uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, while GT models keep the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 with 368 hp and 376 lb-ft. All models use an eight-speed automatic, and AWD is available across the lineup.
• Safety package: Kia’s Drive Wise suite includes lane keep assist, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, blind-spot monitoring plus collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic alert plus collision avoidance, forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian/cyclist detection and junction-turning assist, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, lane follow assist, safe exit warning, and highway driving assist. Forward parking assist, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround view remain GT2-only.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone charging, navigation with Uvo link, Uvo eServices remote commands, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, multi-device Bluetooth connectivity, and split-screen functionality. GT2 models add a larger driver display and a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The GT-Line RWD returns 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. AWD variants are rated at 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. GT RWD models are rated at 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, while GT AWD models return 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.

Which 2022 Kia Stinger trim should I buy?

The 2022 Kia Stinger is offered in 3 trim levels: GT-Line, GT1, GT2.

Here's the short version:

• GT-Line: This is the best-value choice if you want the Stinger’s new 300-hp turbo-four, the standard 10.25-inch infotainment screen, and the full suite of updated safety tech without paying for the V6. It gives you the core Stinger experience at the lowest entry point.
• GT1: This trim is the middle ground if you want the stronger V6-era feel and more upscale equipment without jumping all the way to the top trim. It is the sensible step-up if you want more performance and comfort features than the GT-Line.
• GT2: This is the one to buy if you want the most complete Stinger, with Nappa leather, the head-up display, the 360-degree surround view, and the upgraded audio system. It is the most luxurious and best-equipped version, but you should only pay for it if you will use the extra features.

The GT2 is the only trim that gets forward parking assist, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround view.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Stinger?

What is the 2022 Kia Stinger's resale value?

The current average of $28,257 sits slightly below last year's $29,145.

That tells you the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer now but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the current trend suggests you should expect a more competitive resale environment than last year’s. The good news is that the Stinger’s strong value proposition and premium feel can still support demand if the car is well kept and properly equipped.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2022 Kia Stinger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.05% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings more power from the base engine, updated design touches, and more standard technology.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $25,238, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $28,257 average.
• It offers a sporty, value-focused formula with multiple powertrain options.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped, more refined version with stronger standard tech and safety, the 2022 is the smarter pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 can still make sense, especially if you find one in strong condition and with the equipment you want.
