Our quick take
Alternatives to consider
Audi A5 Sportback
BMW 4 Series
Kia Stinger GT S - 4.5 / 5
Another smash-hit design
Everything is standard
Size isn’t everything
No respect for rules
The (not so) cheap seats
To recap
It sounds like a tall order to take on the established German brands, but the Kia Stinger GT S delivers in droves. Great design, great specification and a great drive make it a genuine contender that’s well worth a look if you’re in the market for something different.
