Compact sedan??

I'm not sure how a 4.83m long Stinger can be considered as compact sedan these days? I'm pretty sure that this should be midsize even by modern standards, what do you think?? Alawadhi3000 (talk) 18:08, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alawadhi3000: Yes it is midsize. It is too large for the Compact category. Ee2mba (talk) 04:28, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not even a midsize. Actually it is a full-size. Its wheelbase is longer than the Toyota Avalon and the Acura TLX, and barely shorter than the German E-segment rivals. The ONLY one case that CAN be made for calling it midsize is due to the Genesis G80 which happens to be on the much, much larger side of E-segment (bigger than everything except Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger)!!! It's a 115" wheelbase, 3600-4000 lb car with a four-banger and a 3700-4300 lb car with a six-banger. That's around the same ballpark AS a Charger (maybe Avalon). Almost everyone has been comparing it to the Dodge Charger. It is, indeed a full-size car. 71.94.157.155 (talk) 08:50, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Its nowhere near a full size, yes the wheelbase is a bit longer than others but actually overall size the Stinger is bit smaller than other mainstream midsize cars like the Sonata or K5. Also, weight is normal for a AWD sport sedan of this class. Alawadhi3000 (talk) 16:59, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm specifying weight between RWD and AWD versions too 71.94.157.155 (talk) 18:29, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know, the Charger is heavier and the Avalon isn't really comparable since its FWD and isn't a performance/sport sedan.

I don't think the weight should have an effect on the class, for example the AWD Genesis G70 is almost 4000lb yet its still a compact car. Alawadhi3000 (talk) 21:03, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Respectively?

Diesel does 0-62 in 4.9? 2601:642:4002:5490:ECBD:6666:7B9D:B3D4 (talk) 21:14, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The table says 7.6 seconds for RWD 2.2 diesel. Alawadhi3000 (talk) 13:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok yes I see this, but the Performance section says:

"Kia claims that the Stinger accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.7, 6 and 4.9 seconds respectively".

I am a mere reader, not an editor, but it seems like the paragraph previous would need to be reordered. Or the line I quoted, but then the times would look funny out of order. 73.158.143.4 (talk) 23:41, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I fixed that, thanks for reporting it. Alawadhi3000 (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
