Kia Is Ready To Build An Electric Successor To The Stinger. One Thing Is Holding It Back.

  • Kia says that it would like to build a spiritual successor to the Stinger.
  • The biggest thing holding it back? The cost of an electric performance sedan.
  • Never say never, though. Kia's design boss isn't ruling anything out if EVs continue to become more popular.

There was a time not too long ago when the Kia was doing what almost no other automaker dared to. The growing South Korean automaker built a rear-wheel-drive enthusiast car with a twin-turbocharged V-6 after nearly every other mainstream brand had abandoned the sports sedan segment.
