Kia Stinger Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Kia Stinger is a rear-wheel-drive-based sport sedan that Kia sold in the United States through the 2023 model year. Because 2023 was the last year, the last published prices are the most useful new-car reference. Anyone shopping now is mostly looking at used examples or leftover stock.

This guide covers the final-year pricing by trim and fees. Used prices change with mileage and condition and are not listed here, so check current listings for the used market.

The 2023 Stinger lineup had two main trim levels. The GT-Line used a four-cylinder engine and was available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The GT2 used the V6 and was likewise available in both drive configurations. The figures below are Kia's published MSRPs, before the destination charge.

The step from GT-Line to GT2 is the largest in the lineup. All-wheel drive adds a smaller premium within each trim, as the rows show. If you want the lowest price, the GT-Line RWD is the entry point. If you want the V6, the GT2 is the only way to get it.

GT-Line vs. GT2

The GT-Line is the more affordable car and a reasonable choice for buyers who do not need V6 power. The GT2 costs substantially more and adds the larger engine and a higher equipment level. The best choice depends on your budget and what you want from the car, and a test drive of both is the simplest way to compare them.

The prices above exclude destination. That is a separate charge that appears on the window sticker for every new vehicle.

Taxes, title, registration, and any dealer documentation fees come on top of that, and they vary by state. Add them to the MSRP to estimate the price you would actually pay at the dealership.

A listing from MotorTrend shows different numbers for the same four trims.

These figures are higher than Kia's own MSRPs. The difference may be explained by destination being included in one source and not the other, or by a different set of options or packaging. Kia's published pricing excludes destination, so use it as the base, then add the destination charge and any equipment you choose. If you are comparing a quote to a published price, ask the seller for an itemized breakdown.

Kia stopped selling the Stinger after the 2023 model year, so new 2024 pricing does not exist. A few new 2023 cars may still sit at dealerships, but availability varies by location. Most buyers will be looking at used cars. This page does not list used prices, so check current listings for the year, trim, and mileage you want, and compare several before you make an offer.

What affects used Stinger prices

• Model year. The Stinger was sold for several years, and earlier cars generally cost less.
• Trim and engine. The V6 GT2 cars and the four-cylinder GT-Line cars are priced differently.
• Drive. All-wheel-drive cars may cost more than rear-wheel-drive ones in the same trim.
• Mileage and condition. Lower miles and a clean history usually mean a higher price.
• Remaining warranty. Coverage depends on the age, mileage, and ownership history of the car, and a Kia dealer can confirm what applies to a given VIN.

Order a vehicle history report to look for accidents, title brands, and odometer problems. Ask for service records and have an independent mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection. Check open recalls by entering the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, and confirm any remaining factory warranty with a Kia dealer.

If the car is a certified pre-owned vehicle, ask for the certification checklist and the terms of the coverage. Terms differ by program and by seller, so read them before you buy. Price insurance on the exact VIN before you commit, since premiums vary by driver, location, and trim.
