We love the Stinger here at Roadshow, and this GTS model looks to improve that great package.

The key to the Stinger GTS's sportier handling is a new all-wheel-drive system called D-AWD, which Kia promises splits the difference between the way a rear-drive and an all-wheel-drive Stinger drives.

In Comfort, 60% of the power goes rearward, while in Sport that bias rises to 80%.

Yet in Drift mode -- yes, in a Kia! -- you get 100% rear-biased torque.

The Kia Stinger GTS uses the car's 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, meaning you'll have 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque with which to initiate those slides.

A rear-wheel-drive GTS is also available, too, but the D-AWD model is perhaps the more interesting configuration for the way it can swap between driving four and two wheels at the push of a button.

Aside from the mechanical tweaks, the 2020 Kia Stinger GTS gets visual upgrades in the form of "Federation" orange paint, extra exterior carbon fiber, a new GTS badge on the back and a Stinger logo in place of the usual Kia badge on the trunk.
