What’s the difference between a Kia Stinger GT1 and Kia Stinger GT2?

I work in a lab at a major chemical supplier. We’ve been offered Kia Stingers as company cars, but we here in the Corrosives Division aren’t sure which one to choose, the GT1 or the GT2. Our fellow lab techs in the Flammables Division all went for GT2s—but there’s a lot of competition between our departments, so our division wants to be sure we get the best. So, what’s the difference between a Kia Stinger GT1 and GT2?

The main difference between the
Kia Stinger GT1
and
GT2
is that the GT2 comes with many more standard features than the GT1—although both share the same twin turbo 3.3-liter V6 engine with 368
horsepower
and 376 pound-feet of torque.
The Stinger is a sleek luxury sedan, but on much more of a budget than its luxury European rivals. 
It’s got a flashy fastback roofline that comes with a convenient hatchback liftgate. The Stinger’s comfortable interior and lots of standard tech features provide plenty of value, even if it doesn’t quite match up to its rivals. Not to mention, the Stinger is fun to drive and comes with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available.
Here are a few key features of the Stinger GT1:
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Launch control for excellent acceleration
  • Brembo brakes
  • Limited-slip rear
    differential
    (to enhance traction while accelerating)
  • Torque-vectoring rear differential (provides more agility when cornering; AWD models only)
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Leather upholstery
  • LED interior lighting
The GT2 gets everything the GT1 has, along with the following performance, interior, and tech upgrades:
  • Adaptive suspension for enhanced ride comfort and handling stability
  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Auto-dimming mirrors
  • Power opening hatch liftgate
  • Premium
    Nappa leather
    upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Head-up display
  • Surround view camera system for easier parking
  • 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
If you want the best, then the GT2 is the one you want!
