Kia Stinger earns EyesOn design award

-

Kia’s all-new 2018 Stinger fastback sedan has been honored with an EyesOn Design award for Production Car Design Excellence at the North American Internatio­nal Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

At an event typically dominated by introducti­ons from American auto companies, Kia’s stinger stole the spotlight.

The EyesOn Design Awards honor the best production and concept vehicles making their worldwide auto show debut at the NAIAS.

The 2018 Kia Stinger is a sport sedan dedicated to the thrill of driving while cossetting occupants in luxury.

From its sleek front clip through its svelte flanks, and up to its powerful haunches, the Stinger exudes a muscular confidence.

The Stinger’s stance and visual balance are designed to lend the car an air of elegance and athleticis­m, rather than boyracer aggression. Inside is a purposeful cabin that is luxurious and exquisitel­y crafted.

A strong horizontal plane across the dash presents the driver with a thick, leather-wrapped steering wheel. Front and center of the driver is a single instrument binnacle with a combinatio­n of analog and digital instrument­ation.

Set to go on sale later this year, the Stinger is backed by Kia Motors’ industryle­ading quality and reliabilit­y.

EyesOn Design Awards are the officially sanctioned design awards for the NAIAS.

Considered the validation of great automobile design from the industry's leaders, the EyesOn Design awards are prominentl­y displayed in design studios around the world.
