THE LAST OF THEM: 2024 STINGER TRIBUTE LIMITED EDITION ARRIVES AT KIA DEALERS

[dacious12]

I'd love to have a Steel Matte Gray, but all I see are the green ones available. Anyone see a gray one available for purchase?

The way they did that is dumb. Shoulda made the green and matte gray only available for the tribute cars. That or either have it in matte gray alone or matte gray and some other color they haven't used before.

I completely agree. I found about 10 green tributes available, but zero gray. I would think that they didn't release them in the US, except that I saw another post where someone in Florida was able to snag one.

• Tribute Edition bows out with optional exclusive Steel Matte Gray exterior color1 and sport-focused enhancements inside the cabin
• Limited to 1000 global units; 440 units allocated for the U.S.
• Existing Kia customers and hand raisers among first to receive word on Tribute Edition’s arrival at dealers
• MSRP for the limited-edition model starts from $53,3902

IRVINE, CA, April 18, 2023 – It’s the end of an era for the Stinger fastback sedan, as Kia America announces the arrival of the Stinger Tribute Limited Edition at dealerships nationwide. Limited to just 440 units in the U.S.3 (and only 1,000 worldwide), the Stinger Tribute Edition ends its six-year production run with unique upgrades that distinctly set it apart from other Stingers. Existing Kia customers and hand raisers will be among the first to be notified of the Stinger Tribute’s availability at dealers.

"While it may be the end of the road for Stinger, its legacy lives on through our innovative products, both current and forthcoming,” said Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America. “A catalyst that set off Kia’s advancements in engineering and driving dynamics, the Stinger ultimately put the brand on the map among enthusiast drivers. Thanks to our learnings from the Stinger, we were able to develop adrenaline-inducing products like the EV6 GT - which recently won the 2023 World Performance Car of the Year award - so giving it a proper send off with this commemorative edition felt absolutely necessary.”

The Stinger Tribute Edition builds on the already comprehensive package offered on the 2023 Stinger GT2, which features a 3.3-liter turbocharged V-6 and optional all-wheel drive4. Painted in either Ascot Green or newly available Steel Matte Gray1, the Stinger Tribute Edition accentuates the design details of the Stinger by adding black-accented details, including exhaust tips, Brembo brake calipers, side mirrors, and model-exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels. The interior of the Stinger Tribute Edition is enhanced with Terracotta Nappa leather-trimmed seats emblazoned with a custom logo, a synthetic suede headliner, and simulated carbon fiber interior trim. Each of the Stinger Tribute Edition sedans produced will have its own numbered door sill plate3.

“We want to give our loyal customers a jump on the opportunity to own this ultra exclusive Stinger Tribute Edition,” said Eric Watson, Vice President of Sales, Kia America. “By notifying them of the Stinger’s arrival first, along with hand raisers who have expressed interest in the iconic sport sedan, we anticipate this customer base will flock to dealers to snag the last of the Stingers.”

Stinger Tribute Limited edition pricing is as follows:

MSRP (excludes $1,175 destination)

- Stinger Tribute Edition RWD: $53,390
- Stinger Tribute Edition AWD: $55,590

In its final model year, the Stinger continues to set the bar in the sport sedan segment with aggressive good looks, top-shelf performance, and a world-class driving experience. The Stinger GT-Line presents a 300-hp, 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, while the Stinger GT2 offers a 368-hp, 3.3-liter turbocharged V-6: each paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and available with either rear- or all-wheel drive.4 First introduced in the United States as a 2019 model, the Stinger immediately captured the attention of serious driving enthusiasts. Over 65,000 Stinger sedans have been sold in the U.S. since its launch.

Please, if you have any information on how or where to purchase this vehicle, I would be immensely grateful. I've been searching for months for a way to purchase the gunmetal matte gray in AWD. I know there are 440 in the US, of those 440, 262 are AWD. I would do just about anything to get my hands on one of those AWD. I don't even care if it has to be one of the green ones. I'd take either at this point. Please, any help in any capacity would mean the world. Thank you so much, Jonathan Young. jonathanr.gieger@gmail.com

Good luck. There's probably not a whole lot left, if any. The ones in my area sold months ago.

If you're looking brand new, try here Local Inventory Search | Kia

You may have to plug in numerous zip codes.

If you're looking for used, that'll probably be more difficult. Check places like autotrader, carmax, etc.

Can you tell me where you were able to find the Green Tributes? I'm specifically looking for AWD, and would prefer the Steel Matte Gray, but will gladly take a lead on purchasing one in green instead...

No Ascot Greens in Australia. They just might have sold a few more.

Are there any tribute editions in the US? I can't find a single dealer who has one

Based on a nationwide search on KBB, there are at least 3 Ascot Green Tributes available, the Option Group 020 ones:

Hard to believe they cancelled this model (Stinger GT2), yet there are none available ?

I haven't even seen a brand new, regular Stinger gt for sale in awhile, let alone a Tribute edition. Have yet to see one on the street yet either.

Ima privileged, my neighbor has a matte silver tribute, so I get to see one practically every week.
