Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Dodge Charger than the Kia Stinger. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Dodge Charger and the Kia Stinger in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Dodge Charger as you will with the Kia Stinger, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Dodge Charger is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Stinger.

Dimensions
The Dodge Charger is a little wider than the Kia Stinger, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Dodge Charger, which is slightly longer than the Kia Stinger.

Handling
The Dodge Charger has about the same turning radius as the Kia Stinger, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Charger is somewhat more powerful than the Kia Stinger.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Dodge Charger transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Kia Stinger.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Dodge Charger and the Kia Stinger.
