New color combo (white/grey)?

[falanger]

Is this a new color combo for the Stinger? Not sure I've ever seen this until now.

I just saw this on the Kia website a few hours ago. Didn't know it existed either.

Not letting me build it on the website

Last year, some rare or even singular color combos entered the US that were not offered on the website. This is probably one that is offered in S. Korea and somehow made it over here.

I have it on my 19 GT2 with Panthera Metal. I thought it was only on the blue 18’s. I got really lucky because this was the exact color combo I wanted, and thought didn’t exist. Love the color contrast

I love your color combo too

Kia does some wacky stuff. Why not black/grey, or panthera/red. A little variety never hurt...

I'm thinking that Kia tosses out an oddball color combo every so often, on one or a few cars. How hard can it be? Slip in a set of seats and interior accents of an "unavailable" color, and the next car that comes along the assembly line gets that stuff.

You can't build a car on their website with these rare combos. But they hit this dealership or that one. Just for "fun", I guess.

I just noticed: why doesn't the center console cover match the seats and doors? Are all the center console covers black?​

Center console is black. I wouldn't want that to be light colored and have an elbow fade in there lol. The ambient light in blue looks nice at night with the doors.

While I agree the white looks nice new, I've never seen a car with light (white/tan) leather that looks good after a while, if it's actually being used. I drive my kids to school daily - they drop their backpacks, slide them along, etc. And red was just a non-starter for us. Black is the "least bad" choice - I would love a "holds up well, doesn't seem crazy intense and doesn't get hot" option (still leather), but that doesn't seem to exist. Maybe BMWs darker tan has all of those and that's why it's popular?

I love the look of the whiteish interior, but for the same reasons as you I don't like the whiteish interior. I can only imagine how hard it would be to keep clean. I have the red interior and it's not bad to keep clean, but I have my days.

Knock on wood. So far so good. 90% of the time it’s just me and my toddler. She has a no shoes rule in her car seat. I do a nice ballet move getting in and out(simply to avoid rubbing the side bolsters).
