How much does the 2022 Kia Stinger cost?

Prices have softened 4.17% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 476 listings available, which gives you a workable pool to compare prices and equipment.

If you find a listing below $27,682.06, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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.

Owners consistently praise its luxurious cabin, strong performance, and great handling. The feedback also points to a car that feels fast and technologically advanced, which fits the Stinger’s sporty, upscale positioning.

The trade-offs are the cramped back seat and sluggish touchscreen response, so you should weigh those against the car’s engaging driving character and premium feel.

For shoppers who want a stylish sedan with more personality than many mainstream alternatives, the Stinger’s mix of performance and value makes a strong case. Good and great deals account for 30.0% of listings, which suggests there are still attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Kia Stinger reliable?

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

Owners also describe the car as luxurious, fast, and technologically advanced, and they highlight its comfortable interior and great handling. That kind of feedback often lines up with a vehicle you can count on for satisfying daily use over time.

The expert evaluation also points to a more mature, refined version of the Stinger, with improved driving manners and fewer early growing pains than the debut model. Kia’s added standard safety and tech content for 2022 also supports the sense that this is a more complete package.

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

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

At 73.7% 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 body condition, brake wear, tire condition, and signs of uneven panel gaps or repair work.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The GT-Line has different lighting 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.
• 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, paired with an eight-speed automatic.
• Safety package: Drive Wise 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. 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, 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 customizable head-up display and a larger TFT cluster.
• 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 GT AWD 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, and GT2.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The GT-Line gives you the new 2.5-liter turbo engine, standard LED lighting, the 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a strong safety list, but it skips the more upscale cabin materials and higher-end convenience features found higher up.
• Sweet-spot trim: The GT1 is the best value if you want the V6 performance and a more premium feel without going all the way to the top trim.
• Premium/top trim: The GT2 is the most fully equipped choice, adding Nappa leather, a head-up display, a 360-degree surround view, a 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and the most complete luxury presentation.

The GT2 also gets the most advanced safety and visibility features, while the GT-Line already benefits from the expanded standard Drive Wise suite.

What is the 2022 Kia Stinger's resale value?

The current average of $28,768 sits slightly below last year's $30,020.

That softer pricing can help you buy more car for the money now, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, the current market gives you a reasonable starting point for eventual resale.

The Stinger’s strong owner satisfaction and distinctive positioning should help it remain appealing to shoppers who want a sporty, upscale sedan. That kind of demand can support resale value over time, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment.

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+ rating from the IIHS and a five-star rating 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 GT2 adds forward parking assist, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround view, so lower trims miss some of the most advanced convenience and visibility tech. The strong crash-test results and expanded standard driver aids make this a standout safety year for the Stinger.

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:

• 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.17% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.89/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 refresh adds more power, updated styling, and more standard safety and tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $25,685, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $28,768 average.
• It offers strong value and a sporty, distinctive character.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped, more powerful, and safer version, the 2022 is the stronger 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.
