    The mid-point in the four-cylinder Kia Stinger 2018 model range is the 200Si, which lists at $52,990, before on-road costs. It comes with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 182kW of power and 353Nm of torque, is rear-wheel drive, and comes as standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

    This model builds on the extensive equipment list offered in the 200S, adding real leather seats, along with a larger 8.0-inch multimedia screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus an updated sound system with nine speakers (including a subwoofer under each front seat) active cruise control, plus this version adds auto wipers. The Si grade also gains a luggage net and carbon-fibre-look trim.

    The 18-inch rims fitted to the 200S and 200Si are the same, so it’s hard to split them from the outside.

    Every Stinger is fitted with auto emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, driver attention alert, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, and seven airbags (dual front, front side, full length curtain and driver’s knee).

    Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio. After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017. At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come. Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed. He currently owns a 2001 Audi TT quattro and a 2007 Suzuki Jimny JLX.
