"The Stinger is the only Kia that was ever truly fun to drive, with its BMW-like rear-wheel-drive handling dynamics and sporty fastback design. It was discontinued in 2023, leaving a distinctly Stinger-shaped hole in the Kia lineup, which hole the manufacturer vowed to fill with an EV but didn't mention again until today, when it released this teaser video without saying what it's showing."
"The roof shape is one. It's closer to what we see on some coupe-like SUVs these days than it is to the original Stinger, but it's certainly dramatic and it lends the car a sporty character. It doesn't look like a crossover, though, and it has wide flanks that make it look like it has a factory widebody, making it look a bit like a racing or rally car"
Kia released a teaser video hinting at a new four-door electric fastback concept expected to replace the Stinger. The concept shows a dramatic roof shape closer to coupe-like SUVs yet maintains a sporty fastback silhouette rather than appearing as a crossover. Wide flanks give a factory widebody appearance, recalling racing or rally cars with blended fender flares. Distinctive daytime running lights sit atop the hood and extend past the windshield. The model is likely related to the Hyundai Ioniq 6 lineage and could debut soon, possibly at the Brussels Motor Show alongside other Kia EV reveals.
