After months of rumors and speculation, Kia has confirmed it will soon end production of the Stinger. The company is sending off its sports sedan with a limited-edition model called Tribute Edition that gains a handful of specific design cues inside and out.
The Stinger Tribute Edition is based on the GT trim and powered by an unmodified version of the twin-turbocharged, 3.3-liter V6 found in the regular-production car. It develops 368 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, and it’s bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The changes that set the Tribute Edition apart from the Stinger are exclusively aesthetic: the sedan is available in Ascot Green or in a new color called Moonscape and it receives black exterior trim, 19-inch wheels finished in gloss black and black Brembo brake calipers.
Inside, the Tribute Edition gains Terracotta leather upholstery on the seats and the door panels, and carbon fiber-look trim on the center console. Kia also notes that it embedded a wasp-shaped emblem on the headrests and added a numbered plate to the driver’s door sill.
Production of the 2023 Kia Stinger Tribute Edition is limited to 1,000 units globally, with a Kia spokesperson telling Autoblog that 400 will be allocated to the U.S. When they’re gone, they’re gone; nothing suggests the sedan will spawn a successor. There’s no word yet on how much the Tribute Edition will cost.
