The 2018 Kia Stinger has been drawing attention since its reveal at last year’s North American International Auto Show and most recently earned the coveted “Vehicle of the Year” award from Roadshow by CNET. It has also earned a Five-Star Rating from Euro NCAP as well as a spot on Wards 10 Best Engines List.

“It’s no easy task to meet or beat the world’s best premium 6-cylinder engines,” said Drew Winter, Senior Content Director at WardsAuto. “The Kia Stinger GT’s twin-turbo V-6 bulldozed its way onto the 2018 Wards 10 Best Engines list with a potent mixture of refinement, value and thunderous torque that takes the Kia brand to a whole new level in the hierarchy of global automakers.”
