Reviews SummaryBMW’s best-selling car enjoys a mid-cycle refresh for 2023. Sleeker styling, an updated driver-oriented cockpit, and loads of new technology make the new BMW 3 Series sports sedan as competitive as ever. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen the Kia Stinger was introduced in 2017, the rear-wheel-drive-based sports sedan was as eye-opening as it was refreshing. Combining German-tuned performance with Kia’s award-winning design, the Stinger was a defining moment in the automaker’s steady march toward offering upscale products. The Kia Stinger receives a mild refresh for 2022 to offer more power, and it also gets updated design flourishes and technology features. | |
