Reviews SummaryWhen the Kia Stinger was introduced in 2017, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) sports sedan was as eye-opening as it was refreshing. Combining German-tuned performance with Kia’s award-winning design, the Stinger was a defining moment in the automaker’s steady march toward offering upscale products. The Kia Stinger receives a mild refresh for 2022 to offer more power, particularly with the base engine, and it also gets updated design flourishes and technology features. | |
Reviews SummaryHyundai has discontinued most of the Veloster lineup, choosing to instead focus on expanding its roster of (more profitable) crossover SUVs, so the top-spec Veloster N goes it alone for the 2022 model year. But with sport compact car sales flagging and Hyundai making no changes to the Veloster N, one must wonder if the 2022 model year represents the hot hatch's curtain call. | |
