While both cars are high-performing, the team here at Andy Mohr Kia knows that only one can cross the finish line first. We’ve written this Kia Stinger GT vs. BMW 430i comparison to show you which.
Kia Stinger GT vs BMW 430i Gran Coupe: Performance Specs
If you want to talk brass tacks between the Kia Stinger GT and the BMW 430i Gran Coupe, then you’ve got to talk speed. That is what these cars represent, after all.
The folks at Kia have really taken the time to enhance the Stinger GT engine. The Twin Scroll Turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain comes with variable valve timing to increase power-flow throughout it. This allows it to generate 255 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.
Undoubtedly, the BMW 430i Gran Coupe comes pretty close. It also has a 2.0L Twin Power Turbocharged 4-cylinder. However, this one, lacking the same enhancements, comes up a little short with just 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
On the track, it’s those little differences that decide the photo finish.
Interior Comforts 
One thing that these vehicles have in common interior-wise is that they each aim to blend a sense of sportiness with a sense of luxury. For that reason, you’ll find plenty of creature comforts between the two of them.
For example, each of these cars comes trimmed in sleek leather with available accent stitching. This is a great complement to your front sport seats with adjustable lumbar support and thigh bolsters.
However, these seats do highlight a clear difference between the two cars. The BMW 430i Gran Coupe adds in a 10-way power-adjustable seat, whereas the Stinger GT adds in a standard 12-way power-adjustable seat with heating.
Time and again, you’ll find that the Stinger GT takes a standard comfort from the competitor and pushes it just a bit farther over the line.
Stinger GT vs BMW 430i Gran Coupe: Smart Safety
In cars as refined as this, it’s only natural that you’re going to expect some cutting-edge safety technology. However, in this department, the BMW 430i Gran Coupe is a bit lacking.
This car has a few different available features that use sensors and cameras to predict and prevent collisions. These features include Dynamic Cruise Control and rain-sensing windshield wipers. 
The Stinger GT offers these, too, in addition to plenty of other features. You’ll also have available Blind Spot Collision Warning with Lane Change Assist, Driver Attention Warning, the Forward Collision Warning System, and more.
Race to the Finish Line
Both the 2018 Kia Stinger GT and the BMW 430i Gran Coupe have that undeniably sporty look. They have some great gadgets and powertrains, too. However, in a head-to-head matchup, the Stinger GT seems to cross the finish line first.
To understand this car’s capabilities, Indianapolis, Plainfield, and Avon drivers will have to try it out. Contact Andy Mohr Kia to schedule your test drive today!
