Is the 2022 Kia Stinger a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Stinger earns a 4.89/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

The trade-offs are familiar: the back seat is cramped, and the touchscreen response can be sluggish.

With 32.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Kia Stinger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.89/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a car that feels luxurious, fast, and technologically advanced, and it also emphasizes impressive performance and comfortable interior quality. That kind of feedback usually lines up with a vehicle that owners feel good about living with over time.

The expert notes also support that impression by describing the Stinger as a legitimate contender with improved driving manners and most of the early growing pains worked out. Kia’s refreshed powertrain and updated tech help the car feel more mature than earlier versions.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a sporty, feature-rich sedan can be more sensitive to prior maintenance and hard use, so condition matters a lot.

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

At 73.3% 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 been driven hard or modified. Focus on wear items, brake condition, and whether the cabin electronics and touchscreen behave properly, since those are the kinds of issues that can affect day-to-day satisfaction.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The GT-Line uses a different lighting setup and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, while GT models add more LEDs and 19-inch alloys. GT2 models also get the most upscale touches, including Nappa leather and exclusive equipment, so base-trim shoppers should pay close attention to feature gaps.
• Powertrain: The GT-Line uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. GT models keep the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 with 368 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque, and all models use an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
• 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: All models get a 10.25-inch infotainment display, 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 7-inch TFT display with blind-spot live video feed and a standard head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The GT-Line RWD returns 22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. AWD GT-Line models are rated at 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. GT RWD models return 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined, while AWD GT models are rated at 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined.

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 entry point, but it still brings the new 2.5-liter turbo engine, the 10.25-inch screen, wireless charging, and a strong safety list. It is the best-value trim if you want the Stinger’s core performance and style without paying for the upper-end luxury extras.
• GT1: This trim is the value-oriented step up if you want the V6 powertrain and more upscale equipment without jumping all the way to the top model. It makes sense if you want the stronger performance character and a better-equipped cabin.
• GT2: This is the most fully loaded choice, with Nappa leather, the larger TFT display, blind-spot live video feed, head-up display, 15-speaker audio, and the most advanced safety and convenience features. Choose it if you want the most premium Stinger experience.

GT2 models are the only ones that get forward parking assist, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround view.

What is the 2022 Kia Stinger's resale value?

The current average of $28,616 sits slightly below last year's $29,713.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim, since the model’s pricing has already softened.

The Stinger’s strong owner satisfaction helps support demand, especially for shoppers who want a sporty, upscale sedan with a distinctive personality. Well-kept examples should remain easier to market than neglected ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.89/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Kia Stinger safe?

The 2022 Kia Stinger earns a Top Safety Pick+ designation from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia’s Drive Wise suite is standard and 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.

The main caveat is that some of the most advanced convenience and visibility features remain reserved for GT2 models, including forward parking assist, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround view.

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:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.89/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 refresh adds more power, updated design touches, and more standard safety and tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $25,448, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $28,616 average.
• It is presented as an absolute value performance/luxury car.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger refresh, better standard tech, and more safety equipment, the 2022 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 can still make sense as a value-focused alternative, especially if you find a clean example with the right equipment.
