Summary | When 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. | The Hyundai Kona adds a track-capable variant to its 2022 lineup with the new Kona N. With the dynamics of a hot hatch but the practicality of a small crossover, the Kona N is an affordable, high-performance sports SUV that is more fun than is should be. |
