What is Kia known for? Kia is known for making very affordable cars. Kia is also known for making very user-friendly cars. Additionally, Kia is known for variety and innovation in their models. However, to be frank, Kia is not the first car brand that comes to mind when you think performance-based models such as sports cars and luxury vehicles. Once, that was true, but no more.

However, talk is cheap and results are better. To demonstrate the true strength and value of the 2018 Kia Stinger GT, we'll put it up against the 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43.
