Waldorf, MD calls home a flat, occasionally small-hilled, forested expanse replete with wetlands and speckled with oak and pine trees, its neighbors, like Prince George's County, Bennsville and La Plata treating us to natural beauty much the same, from Cedarville State Forest to Malcolm and Bryantown. Can you imagine taking in these and the sights of spots like St. Charles Parkway, or traversing the expanse of Maryland Routes, from the performance styling of a Grand Touring chassis, aircraft-style spoked vents, metal-ringed gauges and satin chrome trim to strike quite the figure while turning heads? The new Kia Stinger fastback sedan, unveiled with fanfare at Detroit's North American International Auto Show, is about to make that dream a reality in 2018, and we at Kia of Waldorf can't wait to rev its engines.
Such standard features as an electronically adjustable suspension with a Dynamic Stability Damping Control and a Centrifugal Pendulum Absorber (CPA) torque converter are sure to make Stinger a smooth ride with a hard-charging, controlled road feel, while optional rear- and all-wheel drive should allow reliable handling atop a variety of terrain. But it's set to be Stinger's Personal, Eco, Sport, Comfort and Smart drive modes that'll wow the segment, enabling shock stiffening and softening, so you can corner like a pro at low speeds, or accelerate stably with real get-up-and-go. And Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control makes it easy for Stinger to balance power while braking selectively in all-wheel-drive mode, while its rear-wheel-drive option's mechanical limited slip differential makes the most of nigh-peel-out traction by distributing power evenly among wheels.
Want to get a feel for performance driving in advance of Kia's big 2018 Stinger release? Our Crain Highway showroom can make it happen. Stop by and take a test drive in a brand-new comparable Cadenza, Forte, Optima or Rio sedan. We'll be glad to put you in the driver's seat!
