In Europe, the Kia Stinger get's a Sport+ Mode which provides a dynamic driving experience with restricted stabilization.

The rest of the world gets the 5 Drive Modes:

Comfort Mode
Ideal for day-to-day city driving, Stinger's default Comfort Mode gently minimizes steering effort on the part of the driver with lighter handling and a smoother suspension feel. In Comfort Mode, the steering is nicely weighted with decent self-centering, good accuracy and linearity. When cruising around the city, Comfort Mode provides smoother acceleration, allowing for a more relaxed gran turismo-inspired ride.

Eco Mode
A vehicle's fuel economy depends heavily on when you drive, where you drive, and what kind of driving style you have. By utilizing Eco Mode, the Stinger leads drivers to a smarter way of economical and eco-friendly driving. Eco Mode maximizes the vehicle's fuel efficiency by adjusting the engine and transaxle operating parameters. In exchange for a slightly lower power output, Eco Mode improves gas mileage for both highway and city travelling. With highly optimized efficiency, this driving mode delivers a quiet and eco-friendly urban driving experience with truly impressive fuel economy.

Smart Mode
The Stinger's Smart Mode monitors your driving style and switches constantly through Sport, Comfort and Eco modes to provide the optimum balance between performance, fuel economy, and smooth operation. Designed to understand and anticipate the driver's steering preferences, the Stinger's Smart Mode adjusts vehicle operation accordingly and picks the right mix of settings depending on road condition and driving style.

Sport Mode
The Stinger's Sport Mode provides a stiffer suspension while managing the driving dynamics by adjusting the steering effort, and the engine and transmission control logic for enhanced driver performance.

Custom Mode
The Custom Mode enables a tailored ride by allowing drivers to alter the suspension, throttle and steering characteristics in accordance with their preferences. With Custom Mode, the Stinger boasts the all-round drivability of a daily car, while providing an extra kick on open roads for enhanced driving performance.
