2022 Ford Mustang vs. 2022 Kia Stinger

The 2022 Kia Stinger has become a popular sports car thanks to its formidable V6, fantastic appearance and standardized tech. What happens when it faces off against the 2022 Ford Mustang, a legendary muscle car lauded for its iconic engineering, superb handling and substantial horsepower?

Design & Style

After fifty eight years, the Mustang has become Ford’s flagship automobile and is currently the only car in its lineup, as all the other vehicles are either SUVs or trucks. This gives the Mustang a special status that cannot be overstated. It is exceptionally versatile, as it can be purchased in the form of a convertible or coupe, and it comes in a host of variants which range from introductory to track level performance capable of competing with and beating many of its European and Asian rivals.

The Kia Stinger lives up to its name, with a sharp appearance that confirms its performance pedigree. It can seat five people in comfort while also giving them access to the latest tech. Its latest updates for this year include additional driver assistance, a more powerful introductory engine, ten inch touch display and the Scorpion special edition.

Technology & Safety

The Kia Stinger captured a perfect five star review from the NHTSA, thanks to its wide assortment of safety features which include a camera with surround view, emergency automated brakes, activated lane control, blind area monitoring and parking sensors. Its cabin luxuries include powered leather seats, ten inch touch displays, wireless charging for smartphones and a sunroof.

The Ford Mustang also earned a five star rating courtesy of the NHSTA since it comes with every safety function found in the Stinger. Its cabin luxuries include a nine speaker sound system, magnetic dampers, eight inch touch display, navigation system, powered seats and climate control.

Performance

Those desiring ultimate performance will purchase the Kia Stinger GT, which has a turbo 6, 3.3 liter engine capable of generating 368 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in about 4.7 seconds with a maximum top speed of 167 miles per hour. Those that purchase the Ford Mustang Mach 1 will get a V8, 5 liter engine that can generate 470 horsepower which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.2 seconds with a maximum top speed of 166 miles per hour.

The Bottom Line

Both cars are evenly matched when it comes to safety credentials and top speed. However, the Ford Mustang has a considerable horsepower advantage, and when you consider the Kia Stinger’s costly update and its sluggish turbo 4 engine, it becomes easy to see why the Ford Mustang wins, especially since it’s more affordable.
