It is common knowledge around Greer that is you are looking for sports sedans; it does not get better than the Kia Stinger and its close competitor, the Audi A5 Sportback. While some of you might not be surprised that a German vehicle features among the best sports sedans, it might be surprising that the Kia features in this field. What might surprise you even further is that the Kia Stinger has got everything it takes to take down the Audi A5 and at an affordable price too. Let us not keep you waiting; here is why the Kia Stinger is the car you want while driving on the highways of Simpsonville.

Starting Price

The first thing all Greenville drivers consider before purchasing any sports sedan is its price. The Kia Stinger starts at a reasonable $34,085 MSRP, including destination, which is very fair considering the Kia is more capable than the Audi A5, which has an MSRP of $43,895.

Performance

The base-level Stinger will be driven by a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4, which is quick and generates 255 horsepower. For the Shelby, NC drivers in need of speed, they can opt for the larger twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 that will blow your mind with its 365 horsepower. The Audi A5 offers the same number of engine options only to deliver less power and at a high price. Their first option, which powers their base vehicle 248 horsepower, and their optional engine, which drives their top trims, can only manage 349 horsepower. Moreover, the Stinger's engines are quicker, managing the zero to 60 run in just 5.1 seconds, with the Audi A5 managing the same in 5.6 seconds.

Efficiency

While cruising on the roads of Forest City, wouldn't it be best if your car saved you a few bucks too? After all, you have already spent thousands buying the vehicle, shouldn't that be enough? Kia understands this, and that is why the Kia Stinger comes with very fuel-efficient engines. The Kia Stinger is rated at 22/29 city/highway mpg while the Sportback has a 20/27 city/highway mpg rating.
