2021 Kia Stinger pricing and specs detailed: Holden Commodore SS and Ford Falcon XR8 spiritual successor increases in cost

The Stinger was facelifted four months ago, and now it’s copped a price rise.

Kia Australia has increased the pricing of the first-generation Stinger large sedan four months after the launch of its facelift.

All Stinger variants have become $500 dearer, with the range now starting off from $50,050 plus on-road costs for the 200S and reaching $63,760 for the GT (see full pricing table below).

Speaking to CarsGuide, a Kia Australia spokesperson confirmed no changes have made to the standard specification of the spiritual successor to the Holden Commodore SS and Ford Falcon XR8, with the usual external factors instead making their presence felt.

For reference, the Stinger remains available in four variants: entry-level 200S and 330S, and flagship GT-Line and GT.

The 200S and GT-Line are motivated by a 2.0-litre single-turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, which develops 182kW at 6200rpm and 353Nm from 1400-4000rpm.

Meanwhile, the 330S and GT are powered by a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine that produces 274kW at 6000rpm and 510Nm from 1300-4500rpm.

Either way, both engines are mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
