Conceived as Kia’s rear-drive sport sedan, the Stinger ran from 2018 to 2022 in U.S. production form, with 17 verified tests spanning those years. Every recorded result falls within the first-generation CK era, where performance centered on gasoline turbocharged four-cylinder and twin-turbo V6 powertrains from the Theta II and Lambda II RS families, covering 255 to 368 hp. Early in the run, the 2018 2.0 Sedan set the low end at 6.6 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2018 GT2 Sedan immediately established the upper tier with a 4.4-second sprint.
As the lineup filled out, midrange trims defined the center of the data set: the 2019 GT1 Sedan reached 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, and the 2019 Premium Sedan did it in 5.7 seconds. At the top, the 2019 GT Sedan matched the model’s best 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds and produced the quickest quarter-mile at 12.9 seconds @ 110 mph. Across the full test sample, the Stinger averaged 5.03 seconds to 60 mph and 13.54 seconds at 104.9 mph in the quarter-mile. By the end of production, the CK Stinger stood as a gasoline-only performance sedan whose quickest verified results remained unchanged from its earliest V6 GT and GT2 benchmarks.

How we verify Kia Stinger performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Kia Stinger trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Kia Stinger performance FAQs
10 questions
The 2022 Kia Stinger GT2 reaches 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. In the same test, it ran the quarter-mile in 13.1 seconds at 107 mph. That makes the 368-hp, AWD GT2 the quicker of the two 2022 Stinger trims with verified acceleration figures on record.
The 2022 Kia Stinger GT-Line does 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Its quarter-mile time is 14.1 seconds at 101.8 mph. That result comes from the 300-hp, 311-lb-ft rear-wheel-drive sedan, placing it notably behind the twin-turbo GT2 in straight-line acceleration.
The quickest Kia Stinger on record is the 2019 GT Sedan, which hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. It also owns the model’s best quarter-mile result at 12.9 seconds at 110 mph. Across 17 verified Stinger tests, no other version has posted a quicker 0-60 time.
The fastest stock Kia Stinger is also the 2019 GT Sedan at 4.4 seconds from 0-60 mph. There are 17 production Stinger tests on record and no modified examples in the total, so the quickest overall result and the quickest stock result are the same car and same time.
For 2022, the Kia Stinger ranges from 5.7 seconds to 4.6 seconds in 0-60 testing, depending on trim. The GT-Line is the slower of the two at 5.7 seconds, while the GT2 cuts that to 4.6 seconds. Quarter-mile times span from 14.1 seconds to 13.1 seconds.
