Interior Design

All Kia vehicles are impressively comfortable, and the performance cars presented here aren’t different. The Kia K5 lineup comes with enough headspace (1,170mm) and legroom (975mm) for everyone, and seats come with several options for adjustments, such as height, multi-directional power, lumbar support and more. The basic upholstery is made of cloth, but it’s upgradable in the higher trims. The backseats can be folded to increase storage capacity.

The Stinger lineup is slightly less spacious but not less comfortable. It offers 939mm of headspace and 1,083mm of legroom. Adjustment options for seats are similar to those available for the K5 lineup. In both cases, there are also heated seats available, as well as leather-covered steering wheels.

Tech & Safety

Those who love to drive surrounded by tech features won’t be disappointed, regardless of the model of choice. The Kia K5 and the Kia Stinger come with a dual-zone climate control system, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Extra perks packed into the Kia Stinger include a Harman Kardon premium sound system with 15 speakers, a 10.25” touchscreen display, and a trip computer. Both lineups share some crucial safety features, like airbags, cruise controls, monitors for tire pressure, and blind spots.
