2018 Kia Stinger GT vs BMW 6 Series vs Porsche Panamera - Test Drive

@@BerserkFury89 ... save your money for next years Acura Type-S. It aint no ... "Kia". And the BRAND, overall, it better than Kia. dunno what the cost will be ... but anyone in theri right mind would spend $55k on a sporty ACURA over a KIA that cost the same money! Heck, as expensive as brands are becoming, it makes sense to just go straight for BENCHMARK BRANDS, like BMW, Audi and MB. Only thing is, for OWNERS, once that warranty runs out ... its heck of expensive IF things go wrong. Smaller brands may not be as expensive long term. Heck, why don't ya'll just go certified preowned? I found a 2013 Audi RS5 with less than 14000 miles. And that model sounds GREAT! It's practically a "new" car. I also found a few BMW 7 Series that were 2017 year models for about 30-40K off the original cost. Dont remember the mileage. I've always wanted a 7, but they are too "executive" for me these days. That 8 look sick ... but I can't afford that at all. Ford is coming out with a new electric car. Looks pretty cool ... for a Ford. Hyundai is bringing their GV80 ... and its a BEAUT! But, I can't wrap my head around spending that much $$$ for a Hyundai! Volvo is doing well these days too. So, shop around. If you are going to spend THAT much money on a darn KIA, you should really, really look around. There are some interesting things coming down the pipe.

Good to hear someone with an ego that is not in the clouds. And that KIA Sorento was not even marketed towards the luxury sport sedan demographic. I challenge anyone that doesn't think the Stinger is fantastic to go to your local KIA dealer and drive one. There is no way you get out of the car and think "it is just a cheap KIA."

Troy Remy oh I don’t doubt the stinger is a great drive. I’ve had loaner a 2016 Kia Rio and mid trim Optima while the Sorento was in the shop and have been impressed with how fun they are to drive. I’ve sat in a Stinger and the fit and finish is on par with luxury cars twice the price. The Kia brand has proven itself!

"M Sport" is NOWHERE NEAR an M6's performance!!) ... is laughable. That's not even an M nor it is the proper class to go against the Kia Stinger!

At least I know the BRAND has luxury and a bit of performance. What do you have with Kia? A V6 .... in a KIA! LOL @ you! Maybe you should look at the SALES of this "grand Kia".

I have owned more than a few German/British/Japanese cars over the past 27 years. Audi (A4/A6), Mercedes (e350), BMW (328/550i/745Li), Jagaur (XF/XE), Infiniti (M45/G37). I never halfway looked at a Kia until I went to a dealer three weeks ago to help my mother-in-law get a car. They had a brand new black stinger on the showroom floor I couldn't keep my eyes off it. Long story short, I traded my Jaguar XF for the showroom stinger after I test drove one from the lot. I absolutely love how the car handles on the highway. Albert Biermann from BMW did a good job in aiding in the design of the stinger. Honestly, it does handle better than the 3 and 5 I previously owned. I can't believe that I own a KIA!! There aren't too many on the roads here in Augusta, GA either, so I get asked the magic question all the time: "What is that!!" I use to cringe when answering, but know I proudly say its a KIA!

@@DonCornelius366 That Kia was engineered by Albert Biermann from the BMW M division... Frankly, I'd rather drive a Kia that can perform closely to M and S cars and also help me put money towards other things in life rather than repairs after warranty runs out. There is nothing, I mean nothing impressive about any BMW under a 28 and Audi's ride is boring. Mercedes C class are among the most uncomfortable luxury cars I've been in and everyone I know who has owned any German luxury car has gotten rid of them because of the problems that come with them after warranty runs out. Also, the Kia Stinger garners many compliments from BMW owners and Audi owners alike. Kia never marketed itself to be a high performance luxury brand and you shouldn't interpret it as such. They managed to make a kick ass car that had gotten far more attention from car enthusiasts than most German cars of the same years. If brand is what you're going for, that's fine, but that also reflects your lack of knowledge that there's a hell of a lot more going on under the hood than the badge on top of it. Your German car will be almost as common as a Honda civic with a fraction of the features of a Stinger at almost 15k more brand new, and it will lose its value greatly as the years pass. Perhaps then it will be cheap enough for you to purchase and impress your friends while you eat Kraft dinner because all your money is going to nonsense repairs that these companies don't want you to do yourself.

Roby Dany the mustang gt for a perfect example😂 but it’s ok you can stick too your cheap ass Kia with its 360 hp while actual car enthusiasts will choose a performance car with way more horsepower then a silly Kia and that’s supposed to be there too of the line model too and it can’t even beat an old 550i from like 2012 😂😂 keep talking it’s making me laugh now gtfo here like I told you to do fanboy

BMW 6 series is not the same class as the Stinger. should have tested the M3 or the M4 which being a performance pack car is more like the Kia Stinger performance package version tested in size and wieght. BMW M3 0-60 in 4.0 seconds and the M4 does it in 3.8 seconds

[@marcofava]

This year the competitors to the germans are really throwing down the gauntlet, you have the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and now the Stinger and Stinger GT. The germans are getting more competition than they ever had, and they need to step up their game

[@MR-hm8xn]

KIA deserves some credit. They did a great job, and it's really just the badge that's throwing everybody off.. I'll give my two cents; When I traded in for my 2016 911 at Porsche, the salesman said something to me that I believe is incredibly accurate. The German brands bang out a lot of very cheaply made production cars (for Porsche it's the Macan, BMW the smaller vehicles x1, 3 series x3 etc.) and they rely on the sales of these cars to manufacture their REAL German engineered beasts which are their M products, or in Porsche's case their performance vehicles. The funny part is, it's that same M badge that is the staple that made the BMW brand itself popular & high - end, but their production cars are so far off of their M products. At the end of the day, KIA's real challenge is going to be in its consistency to produce vehicles like this. If they revolutionize the remainder of their model line-up and do some rebranding (the badge looks too cheap for starters) they may earn a place near BMW, Mercedes, Audi in 50+ years from now. People need to realize that the German brands are as popular as they are because they have a very long heritage of making fantastic cars and doing it consistently. Other automakers like KIA need to earn their spot, and it takes time & a lot of effort plain and simple. My view? I think this vehicle will suffer in sales due to the Germans existence, and incentives will be offered out to compensate for their disappointing sales volume, cheapening the car and ultimately forcing KIA to downgrade the model which will keep it redundantly in the same class of vehicle that they have made up until now. A lot of automakers have tried to release these game changing cars over the years, but consumers have time and time again preferred their BMW's & Mercedes. The only saving grace to keep the quality of this KIA up is that they continue increasing in sales for their other vehicle to support the expenses of producing this car in what I think will be a low volume few years coming up.

6 Series is in a whole different class... Its heavier, longer, wider, match the Kia against a 440i Gran Coupe and you'll see it get destroyed. Lighter car with similar HP figures compared to 6 series winning a drag race? Doesn't take a physicist to see why

[@DonCornelius366]

Exactly. Only BMW people and car enthusiast know this. All these KIA fanboys don't have a clue. This "Stinger" is the TOP of the Kia line. Let it go up against the TURBO Porsche, or the M6 ... and get destroyed. And KIA are so dishonoest, they would get the lowest engine of the 4 series. LOL They don't DARE touch the iconic M4. They don't dare.

[@dlexd]

MessengerOfTruth Even when comparing a stinger to an m4, there is still about a $30k difference. You’re saying to compare a stinger to a turbo porsche or m6? Thats even bigger of a difference. That’s like saying lets compare an m6 to a huracan! It would get destroyed! BMW people am i right?

I bought one Kia Stinger GT 2 1 months ago, What an amazing car, All in one package. So fast, So reliable, High end and high Class with one of the best designs. Cars with 100k can't beat this car. I had plan to buy a Porsche Cayman but I changed mind to Stinger since I could save a lot money and get a good car which have all features and performance with cheaper price. So my pocket and me are both happy now :)

Resale value will be interesting for stinger

[@MelloHubb]

Jet Lee same for these cars lol. Well maybe the porsche will hold its value better but i'm sure the bmw and stinger will be neck and neck for depreciation

[@dkk4169]

Perhaps you’re not be a MBZ/bmw/Audi owner because if you were you would know the resale values of premium german cars are shockingly bad. Especially for MBZ/bmw/Audi premium german flagships. Very few in their right minds will want to buy a used lease return german car about to go out of warranty and that is one of the main reasons for the horrid resale values. Due to their reliability issues and high repair/maintenance costs the market for such used cars is not as big as you might think. You have to be willing and able to spend big bucks to keep them running so that you can show off your 3-4 yr old used premium german car. Wow! www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.forbes.com/pictures/ehmk45ehgdg/12-buick-regal/amp/ www.autobytel.com/car-buying-guides/features/worst-resale-value-cars-125596/

[@DJJOVY]

same for a bmw buddy lmfaoooo

[@Lvnaticify]

I don't think it will depreciate that much. If you get a 3 year old stinger you still have more warranty then a brand new BMW. And once the warranty is over I doubt it will break as much as the "german engineered" cars. The kia badge will definitely depreciate the car, but you won't lose nearly as much money as a German car.

[@Gamingmusic111]

That test is just horrible and made to lose both of KIA's competitors. The base Panamera, a car of the size of an S-class, with 340hp and two-ton kerb weigth. Plus the 6-series, a seven years old car now and out of production in its home market. Take the M440i GC and the S5 and do that test again.

[@rowellmascardo2542]

These are all 4-door Hatchbacks/ Sportback/ Fastbacks, still within fairgrounds, and considering an M3 and an M5 start at ~67k and ~100k (2019 prices) respectively. So I sure hope they will destroy both the Stinger and the Panamera which start at ~51K and ~86k (2019 prices) respectively. Rather than using the M3 or M5, use the 4 series gran coupe M sport, which fully loaded would cost around 68k, I think that would be a more fair comparison cause it hits that middle ground. But that's just my thoughts on this. Either way, this is just marketing for the KIA Stinger

[@LogicalGentleman]

Rowell Mascardo no sir the 640 is not good to use for this comparison because it’s not designed to be a sports car it’s a luxury car that weighs close to 1000 lbs more than the Kia

[@austinsargent8753]

These cars aren't even in the same class. Put the Stinger up against the new BMW M3, Alpha Romeo Quadrifoglio, and the Mercedes C63 amg. The kia falls into this class of cars not the gran touring BMW or the non turbo panamera.
