The standard Stinger also gets all drive system but what makes the GTS different from the regular version is its multi driving modes, namely, Comfort, Sports and Drift mode. These modes will regulate the amount of power sent to the rear wheels. In the Drift model, the power is sent to the rear wheels in full force while in Comfort mode, only 60 per cent are transferred to the rear wheels and for the Sports mode, the rear will get 80 per cent split of the total power.

Exteriorly, the Stinger GTS is only available in one colour option which is the Federation orange. On the rear side, it bears a different badge with GTS and Stinger moniker in place of the Kia emblem on the boot lid.
