Does anyone know if the 2020 Kia Stinger will get a refresh or interior updates?

I guess both 2020 or 2021. Thanks for the link

"But with doubts from Europe and North America over the long-term viability of the Stinger platform with executives casting doubt on a second generation, Kia Australia chief operating officer, Damien Meredith, said he would be happy for the car to live beyond a typical five-year lifecycle. "

Well that's not a good sign

There have been a few references to the future of the Stinger being under a bit of a cloud. Here's one:

There's lots of conjecture though (in both the earlier article I linked to, and this one), and very little hard detail (of any kind, to be frank).

What I do not understand is why there is no promotion or advertising for the Stinger here in California. Kia dos run some adds with many of their models in a group with one Stinger in the group but no Stinger promotion. This car should sell well here in California. I get so many questions about what it is and how muich, performance etc. A few good adds would certainly help sales! This is a fine sun car and needs to be here for a long time.

Agreed. There is little to no advertisements for this car. It recently has been placed front and center in Kia’s as blitz, but all they do is mention it by name

Lately I've noticed Kia is really pushing the Telluride and smaller SUVs instead of their cars.

I saw an add for the GTS a few days ago (I'm in Los Angeles). Horrible add with a bunch of horses and a barely visible yellow Stinger throwing up a bunch of dirt in a rooster tail. The text mentioned its drift capabilities. I concur with the comments here that Kia has done a remarkably poor job of marketing this vehicle. I don't understand going through all the R&D and manufacturing process, only to run silent instead of exposing to the public.

I can't recall a single ad for it save for the Superbowl commercial a few years ago. The sure are advertising the heck out of the SUV's though. I like the relative unknown-ness of it but I'd like to see it sell better to make a second generation.
