The 330S is the entry point to the new Kia Stinger V6 range, with its $48,990 list price sitting $3000 above the 200S cheapest four-cylinder model and $7000 under the next cheapest four-cylinder 330Si.

The 330S comes standard with artificial leather trim, dual-zone climate control, a 7.0-inch multimedia screen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, sat nav, reversing camera, eight-way power driver’s seat, rear parking sensors, auto-dimming rearview mirror, auto headlights, electric folding and heated door mirrors with puddle lights and 18-inch machined-finish alloy wheels.

Like all Stinger 330 models, the 330S comes with a 272kW/510Nm 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 engine paired with an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Helping to make the most of all that mumbo are Brembo brakes and a mechanical LSD. The official combined fuel consumption figure is 10.2L/100km

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
