New AWD software for the next Stinger

[Toddasaurus]

Found an article on Cnet talking about the upcoming Stinger refresh which may include some new hardware (ie LSD) and new drive modes/software for a more playful AWD configuration. Sounds pretty cool to me.


Sharper Stinger: Testing Kia's upcoming performance-tuned AWD


Seems like it will be more in line with the G70, in terms of AWD hardware; but, the transmission computer may be a bit more aggressive than the current G70 software. This makes me wonder if the G70 will receive a similar software change for upcoming model years?

Thoughts?

Interesting article for sure! It is nice to see Kia/Hyundai/Genesis are planning on continually improving the car. Especially the parts of the car that are already quite good. I know the G70 is still really new (especially for the US guys ) but I look forward to the refresh when it comes out.

They're simply bringing the Stinger more in line with G70 - the Genesis already had the more aggressive software.

We don't have that many settings for the AWD front/rear split though. Ultimately might be a gimmick but like I said I am glad it seems like they are trying to continuously improve.
