Test drive: 2022 Kia Stinger<\/h4>\n

The Kia with the most kick<\/p>\n

It is the end of the road for mainstream rear-wheel-drive, four-door internal combustion engine cars.<\/p>\n

Kia has announced it will end production of the Stinger next year and is sending it out with a run of 1,000 Tribute Edition cars, with 400 earmarked for the U.S.<\/p>\n

It will be joined in the history books with the Dodge Charger, which is being replaced in 2024 by the all-electric Daytona Charger SRT coupe.<\/p>\n

Ford, Chevrolet and the non-luxury Japanese brands all stopped selling this type of car years ago as they transitioned to front-wheel-drive and SUV-focused lineups.<\/p>\n

Like Dodge, Kia is shifting toward electrification with the rear-wheel-drive battery-powered EV6 that, like the Stinger, is also available with all-wheel-drive. The recently launched 576 hp EV6 GT now the brand’s top performance model. However, it is possible that this car class may not be dead forever, just going into hibernation.<\/p>\n

Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has confirmed that the Charger Daytona SRT’s platform is modular and can accommodate an internal combustion engine [ICE] drivetrain if the market asks for one.<\/p>\n

“If someday we wanted to add ICE to that car, could we? It\u2019s totally protected for it,” Kuniskis added, according to Muscle Cars and Trucks<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Despite having two doors, it is also similar in length to today’s Charger, so adding two more is within the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
