VW Arteon R v Kia Stinger V6: DRAG RACE

VW Arteon R v Kia Stinger V6: DRAG RACE

Rating: 4.6; Vote: 3
Mat-s lining up in the Kia Stinger GT against the Volkswagen Arteon R Shooting Brake. Think this is a bit of a pointless race? Well once you see the stats you-ll realise there-s a method behind our madness! Starting with the Kia Stinger GT, it-s housing a 3. 3-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet which can produce 366hp & 510Nm of torque. It-s RWD, and it weighs in at 1, 855kg. As for the Arteon, well the engine size is much smaller! It-s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine which can produce 320hp & 420Nm. However, it has two big advantages over the Kia - it-s lighter (at 1800kg) and it-s equipped with AWD! So how do you think it-ll play out - will AWD power snatch it for the Arteon? Or will the more powerful Kia win it?

Same problem in OZ, no AWD stinger, something to do with the transfer case symmetry, anyway I test drove a bunch of cars at the same price point and opted for a 7. 5 Golf R - pretty happy with it - fwiw the clincher for the Stinger was that I inspected two s/h Stingers for private sale and could see there was bunch of stuff that didn't hang in there quality wise, always an issue with a first off model - that said it was a very close decision - and if you're reading Clive Barclay Sellers of VW Leichardt I didn't buy from you because you were probably the worst salesperson I encountered

Id be crazy enough to compare that 2. 0 to bmws m series I6 right now. Both gems that are making more power then advertised, which is great. Saw one of these estates running highs tens with turbo upgrade stock engine. Thats nuts. That price is a bit nuts. Not like a 50k golf r is any better, lol. Id prob get a used rs3 instead.

I love Carwow / Matt but it pisses me off that break tests are done from different speeds, for a while I thought it was usually from 60mph in everyday cars and 100mph in sportier cars but seems to be 70mph in this one? It-s kind of hard to gauge what-s a good stopping distance if they-re all different.

As well all know on his first stinger review, he was a badge noob, he disrespected the car, although his second stinger review he was impressed, this man deep down knows hes impressed with it but just cant yell it out loud bc hes a bmw fanboy and he knows this is a killer car looks or engine

I have a 21 Arteon sedan in the US, and while there are a lot of things I don-t like about it, it is an absolutely beautiful car. I get compliments on it everywhere I go. The LED light bar that goes all the way across the front was a great change from the 20 model, and it looks menacing at night.

I-ve just got rid of a 190 hp Arteon. However good looking it is I fell out of love very quickly because it was in the workshop for weeks with problems with the Discover Pro Nav system. The suspension was poor over our broken (English) roads. The Kia has a 7 year warranty against 3 for VW.

The Arteon is beautiful but surprisingly very few can be found here in the US. I had it on my shopping list when it came out but it was underpowered for the size/weight. The R would be much more compelling, but alas, VW chooses not to bring it here. :( Bummer.

A good computer and a fancy drivetrain will get you a great standing time however a roll really shows the capability of a cars engine, as always a puny engine ain-t gonna get you any true power loolll sucks that manufactures are diverting from true roots

Can we take a second to appreciate how far Korean car companies? They actually are now making good affordable everyday driving cars and started giving 10-year warranties, forcing other car manufactures to actually give us things that we pay for.
reply

Arteon the more affordable A7, but it-s a shame that in the states we get the turbo 4 cylinder without the option for the twin turbo V6 that produces 400hp with the tuning potential for 600+
