KIA AURA

- John Szabo, St Clair, NSW

The smooth and silky lines of Kia’s all-new rear-drive four-door flagship coupe, the Stinger, have won me over.

One can follow her curves right from her smoulderin­g front, to the Coke-bottle hip, that gives proportion and presence. Right through to the ‘Cleopatrae­ye’ tail-lamps, where there is no need for a rear spoiler due to her clean lines.

This stylish interpreta­tion of how a rear driver should look elevates Kia to new heights. It can perhaps even fill the niche performanc­e car market left empty by the two longtime locals who shall remain nameless.
