    Is a Kia E-Stinger on the way?

      Whatever it ends up being called, the new vehicle will ride on Kia's next-generation EV platform.

    Documents have leaked out on The Korean Car Blog that suggests the next-generation EV platform that the Hyundai Motor Group is working on will make its Kia debut under an all-electric Kia Stinger replacement called the EV8.  Code named "GT1" like the trim of the gas-powered Stinger, the new vehicle will ride on the new "eM" platform that will eventually replace the current E-GMP platform used under the Kia EV6, Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, and Genesis GV60. Interestingly, Kia may combine the K8, the Korea-only successor to the Kia Cadenza, and Stinger into a single model line, making this new vehicle larger than the sport-sized Stinger.  The rumors of the Kia Stinger switching to all-electric go all the way back to 2017, when the car was first released.

    Arriving in late 2025, the specifications indicate a battery capacity of 113.2 kWh, roughly a 600 horsepower maximum output with dual motors in the top trim, and a targeted range of 430 - 500 miles on the European WLTP test, so approximately 400 - 450 miles using the EPA test. Lower trim models with rear-wheel drive would have roughly 218 horsepower, while a mid-range all-wheel drive model could be offered with 435 horsepower. For reference, that 113.2 kWh capacity is larger than the 99.8 kWh capacity of the Kia EV9.  The Kia EV9's range is rated by the EPA at 300 miles, impressive for a 3-row crossover, so we feel that the larger battery in a sedan would easily reach the 400-mile estimate.

    The HMG eM platform will debut on the Genesis GV90 in 2025, and we will likely see an announcement later this year. Other models will include a next-gen Genesis GV80 SUV, and we would expect a new Genesis G80 sedan as well.

    Kia has been hitting on all cylinders to use the ICE term from Style to content and quality. This I can see as a big hit for them and one that will get folks that have looked at the Tesla to look at the Kia. 

    As one that has been following reliability, Kia is doing a great job in comparison to others.

    I'm just happy to have a sedan as a possibility.

    • I am the proud owner of this: It was on my list of things to do for the new year and it has arrived.
    • Today, Jan. 14, would have been my LaCrosse's 18th birthday.  It could have done everything except drink. Same color, but different alloys. (stock photo) I hope that the buyer is getting good service from it.  Every once in a while, when I see one, I miss it. Between the '92 Regal coupe and this last one, I have driven the 3800 V6, both as the original owner, for 399,000 miles.  And the way I maintained them, there would have been a good bit more useful life in them left.
    • interesting conversations... Too bad I missed out on it.  20 years ago....was a loooong time ago.  Ill add my 2 cents worth regardless...or should I say irregardless.  I am not against dialects or pronunciations.  That is how the region speaks.  Like a Boston accent.  I wouldnt necessarily  enjoy listening to it on a daily basis...as an outsider...but if I was a local yokel, Id speak that way for sure.  And as an outsider of the Boston Masshole region, I actually have a chuckle listening to it.  The southern drawl just drives me nuts.  HATE IT!!!  I once thought it was charming but now I just CANT PHOQUING STAND IT!!!  I think the stupid phoques that keep on voting AGAINST their own interests have made me DESPISE the region and ANYTHING that comes out of it.  But...this is how they speak and its unique to them and obviously its acceptable as a language communication thing as this is how these idiots speak.  Their dialect and pronunciation of words has NOTHING to do with their uneducated asses. Their racism and hatred however... Now...what I do NOT like as words of communication. There are plenty... I can ONLY think of one at this point in time though. I HATE IT when people say an age of another person, or about themselves, and say it as:  75 years young.  58 years young.  We ALL grow old. The lucky ones that actually live that long to be called old.  Being old is not a negative.  Therefore wear your age as a badge of honour for actually SURVIVING this crazy world.   75 years OLD goddamit!!!   58 years OLD Jesus effin' Christ!!! Now...about swearin' and cussin' I dont like that either.  But in today's world and for the past 20-30 years actually, swearin' and cussin' are the least problematic societal issues we have to deal with. And its so common nowadays that swear words are just part of everyday vernacular.  Means nothin' anymore to 'swear'.   But one looks like an uncouth idiot when one uses 'swear' words.  I have been swearin' a lot in these here forums...  Mainly AGAINST the usa.   PHOQUE TRUMP and PHOQUE the usa. This is just me CURSING the existence of this useless nation that it has become.  Nothing more and nothing less...   
    • Maga Florida would become the new crappy Capital of Crappy USA Idiots.  
    • East Coast. West Coast. Northern Border.  Yeah. All of it!!! Canada!!!   East Coast: New York State + Vermont + Maine + New Hampshire + Massachusetts = Canada.   These were all French colonies at first anyway, minus Massachusetts and the lower part of New York.    West Coast: Washington State + Oregon + California = Canada   Because why not???!!!  These states do not want to be part of the shythole country that has become the usa so...they might as well join Canada.  Northern Border States:  Minnesota = Canada    Michigan shall be Canadian BECAUSE Detroit  was founded by a French guy by the name of Cadillac.  Reparations are owed...    Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas were also founded by the French but they have become such shytehole areas, mainly the reason that america has become such a shytehole country.  america could keep that shyte all to themselves.  Canada will happily have California, Washington State, Oregon and Minnesota instead.  4 states versus 4 states.  Anyway, those Canadian states I proposed to become Canadian, the people living in these states are normal people and they think alike as Canadians do.  Makes perfect sense that these states become Canadian. Oh...we could give you Alberta and Saskatchewan in exchange for New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois,  Delaware and Maryland.  New York and New Jersey go hand in hand which also includes Rhode Island.  Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts go hand in hand with Connecticut.  Delaware and Maryland go hand in hand and since District of Columbia will be under Canadian rule when Canada burns down the White House again...   The new usa could have a new capital city somewheres in the shytehole areas of the usa.
