I'm looking to get a 2022 GT2 with red leather, I really don't care about exterior color, and it seems to be a fanciful unicorn that doesn't exist in our dimension. Anyone have any luck? Any tips on tracking down this elusive creature?
 
A month ago I bought a 2021 GTLine with the sun and sound package, All Wheel Drive, snow white Pearl paint, and red leather seating. It’s a really nice combination. My last two Optimas were both black, and while I am not a fan of white cars, for some reason the white looked fantastic on the Stinger. Try looking for a leftover 2021 GT2. You might find one with the interior colors you want.
 
Welcome. Red interior is highly sought after, so it is no unicorn.

Couple of dealers have them here in CA.
 
Make sure you see dealer photos of the interiors. A lot of times, dealerships fail to mention the red interior in their descriptions.

And where are you?

Mine listed a black interior also, but the seats were red leather and the steering wheel is sewn with red thread.
 
Depending on the state you may have to order a car with the red leather.

Houston. I’m looking to lease, so going new. A few dealers are on the lookout, but everything I’m seeing in inventory is black. Didn’t even think about that black might be red in RL.
I also agree on white exterior. It looks good in white.
 
Not impossible. I actually scored one a couple months ago. Snow White GT2 with the red leather. I was blessed to find the car as soon as it got off the boat, and told the dealer i wanted it.

The red seating is actually a very nice muted shade of a darker red. I really like it.
 
Damn, I got my 21 Gt with red leather. I didn't even care about the color
 
I've seen many a stinger listing that said black interior, only to have red once you looked at the photos or the sticker. red is a separate option, and if you look at the sticker, it actually shows black as the interior color with a red interior color package option as a separate line item at no cost.

I had to drive 4 hours to get mine, but it wasn't for the red- it was for the RWD and the price. Luckily it coincided with a vacation I was taking to the area close to the dealer, so it worked out.
 
Kia now charges extra for the “Red leather interior package” for 2022 cars. All previous model years included it free of charge.

First I've heard of that. Where did you find that out?

I see that on the Kia site now. it's $295. meh. I would have still paid it. Had to have red interior and I've spent way more than that on mods.

(as I open the box to my new covered cup holders center console)

I was about to write the same thing. I've noticed the all say black interior on the upper left portion of the window sticker. Look on the right side, under options or additional installed features, to see if they list the red interior there. I think many dealers miss that when advertising their inventory online.

I first saw it when comparing Window Stickers from a 2021 GT2 to a 2022 GT2. The 2022 was almost $1,000 more expensive to begin with. That is why I just bailed on the 2022 and went with a fully, fully loaded 2021 AWD GT2.
