It’s time for a Korea vs Germany drag race!
Mat’s lining up in the Kia Stinger GT against the Volkswagen Arteon R Shooting Brake. Think this is a bit of a pointless race? Well once you see the stats you’ll realise there’s a method behind our madness!
Starting with the Kia Stinger GT, it’s housing a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet which can produce 366hp & 510Nm of torque. It’s RWD, and it weighs in at 1,855kg.
As for the Arteon, well the engine size is much smaller! It’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine which can produce 320hp & 420Nm. However, it has two big advantages over the Kia - it’s lighter (at 1800kg) and it’s equipped with AWD!
So how do you think it’ll play out - will AWD power snatch it for the Arteon? Or will the more powerful Kia win it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

5:17 I think the light aircraft won that one even though it wasn't really in the race.
I WANTED TO SAY THAT LOL!
You stole my words 😶
The plane photobomb was cute haha
Was literally waiting for carwow to prank it "Plane won it by .... "
😂
The Arteon is a lovely bit of kit. Needs a more interesting powertrain though. The 5 Cyl turbo would have been amazing
Arteon with a 400hp Audi engine... Take my money
I agree the 2.0 TSI is getting a bit old now since they're putting in every R model... The 2.5 would really help move the Arteon upmarket which is what VW is trying to do.
The 3.6l vr6 turbo would be also nice which they are useing for the US market
Yeah but that would hurt their Audi sales
Never going to happen. The 5 Cylinder engine is for Audi only.
Let’s be honest, nobody expected 2.0 I4 will sound better than V6🥴
Its only bc of the rev limiter
Yeah.
Both sound ok , both tones are not that great
It was a strange decision by Kia to not give that GT a better exhaust..
@@nickmotsarsky4382 They get one here in North America, if need be there are countless aftermarket options
Two of the most underappreciated cars due to badge snobbery unfortunately 💔
I'd say good marketing teams could manage that.
A shame VW corporate politics nerfed the Arteon, as it could have been a great alternative to the S4/5, but no can't have VW being better than Audi.
the engine in the Arteon is far better than the current S4/S5 engine, in terms of modifying at least. the previous Supercharged V6 in the S4/S5 was the last great tuning engine
@@LeJunny Lol wut? The 3.0 in the B9 gains 90hp from a stage 1 flash on pump fuel. 130hp on ethanol. Torque figures are in the 700s NM.
@@grahamek86 maybe in USA. Because in Europe we get de 3.0 diesel s4/s5/s6/S7/sq5
@@robertvlasceanu3836 So you're comparing a turbocharged petrol engine to a diesel? The B9 S4/5 comes with a 3.0 V6 turbocharged engine too in the UK, it's not just diesel.
Yeah but they don't want the vw to be better than audi, except with the first gen phateon witch was almost perfect for its time
5:17 I didn't know the plane entered the drag race? - and won!
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
Yup
Arteon deserves a higher engine…a 3.0 tsi v6 it would be perfect, by the price…
you dont need v6 anymore, its not 1990 anymore !!
Should try a rolling race in sportiest settings, but auto. To see how the gearboxes react. Could be interesting to see how they differ from comfort to sports
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
Lol your photo look like PPAP pikotaro. I got a pen I got an Apple, Ugh! Apple pen. LOL. But nice photo anw!
i never found the point of racing in comfort mode...
@@edutiburon overtaking
@@oskar4276 i think the same. comfort is for comfort, not for max acceleration.
Finally a stinger drag race on this channel. You should do it more often:)

That Arteon is impressive on those launches! And it sounds fantastic
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
I think you should do a third rolling race with cars in sport mode and the gearbox in auto to see the difference in the kick-down.
Gotta love carwow when that bell rings

Keep up the great work Matt!
Both of these cars are pretty underrated.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
Not the stinger GT(it's overrated, more overrated than the M5 for what it deserves), and the Artegon isn't so great to get more fame. So none of them is actually underrated.
@@johndavidson3424 how is it overrated
@@theboogeyman5736 It's overrated, just understand that way.
(It's somewhat known, and gets more credits that what it really is, thus it is).
@@johndavidson3424 You get much more for your money with the kia. You also see not many Stingers on the road thats why the Kia is underrated and not overrated
You shouldn’t use launch control with RWD Stingers in less than ideal conditions. You should mash the gas from a dig using the auto hold feature. It will start much more consistently that way.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
@hon solo the rev hang isn't because of the flywheel of the transmission, it's because it helps with emissions. This video explains it: czcams.com/video/mm6SSeLivqE/video.html
Great content as usual. Only thing thats sucks is that mostly all races happen in rain or best case scenario in damp conditions. I know the airport has tight schedules but this does not showcase the true capabilities of the cars be it acceleration or braking.
Mat. Came up with a mad idea.

Hi Matt, could you please review Pininfarina’s Battista please.
I have been waiting for this car’s review for a long time.
Thanks, you're doing a great job 😊👍.
The Arteon really should have a turbo VR6 as well - just imagine how quick it would be!
And then with AWD??? Insurance would be crazy lol
Vr6 is underpowered, especially for its displacement
Insurance is more with awd?? Theyre basically charging a premium for safety tf
VAG is going all electric in the next two years, and they are using turbo hybrid powertrains to fill the gap. there will never be another new VR6. also the VR6 is over 30 years old now.
Arteon driver really nailed those launches...

Not hard tho on a car with awd
Didn't they. Those things leap forward like jack rabbits.
@@0mar.1 Yes I agree, but I meant the timing.
@@krane15 Yes😂
Holy frick, finally a Stinger in a carwow drag race!!
Would be better to see AWD stinger against the Arteon ;)

Drag race more normal cars like this instead of some expensive car Mat :)
And family cars too - not just the usual small hot hatches
No thanks

czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
Love your videos and comparison's. 2 things I think you could improve on is when you do you're "what exactly happened" segment. Don't show the 1/4 mile time for the last run. Say the (enter vehicle) had a best 1/4 mile of (enter time) over X runs....something like that.
Other thing, when you do the rolling race and the vehicle is put in manual mode. Just put the car back into D once you go 100% throttle and let it shift itself. Some comparison's, like this, it doesn't matter but others do. I know some of you....Matt....have had issues shifting at the right time while in manual mode.
Another great Video, pity they didn’t have the Peugeot 508 PSE and do the 3 alternative fastbacks too the S5 and 4 Series Gran Coupe
Love your work
We need more cars like the Stinger.
If Kia makes an electric Stinger that can come with the same 575 HP as the EV6 GT...ooo I know what I'm gonna get next
No market. We had the Insignia OPC, Mondeo ST and MazdaSpeed 6 who just didn't sell that well. It's actually a surprise VW managed to sell a performance estate, as they're usually restrained by Audi in that segment.

Nice race Mat!😸
I'd love to see a dragrace with the BMW M3/M4 RWD vs xDrive, I'm so curious to just how much difference there is between those two. And then maybe throw an Audi in there for reference, perhaps an RS6.
If its against the m3 and the m4, since they technically are the same platform the best Audi to compete with it. Or rather a fair comparison is the RS5 since its the M3 and M4 competitor

Be nice to see what the Arteon R would be like against the 4wd Kia stinger.

Bloodbath.
YOUM MEAN kia jUNKER
Or maybe the arteon vs the 4 cyl stinger. That would be a closer race.
@@hectorbtrain1005 sadly not, considering the price difference, they would be even more apart
Mat : ok let's rev the vw, it will sound worse
VW: haha 4 cylinder sound goes vroom vroom
Yeah, I've had my Stinger GT for almost 2 years now....can't imagine it not being AWD. I mean if I was tracking it (which it is not a track car) it would make sense to be RWD only, but for the occasional moment where I need to be a complete tool it's nice to know that it's going to hook up and pull.
See I am the opposite I have a 2022 Stinger GT and would not want the AWD version the RWD is a lot more lively and fun to drive.
@@David-vg8ou I think that my lively driving days are behind me. I haven't bought a non-AWD car in about 10 years. 😁 I'm not drifting or worried about on throttle oversteer coming out of a corner where I live right now.....kind of wish I was sometimes.
Imagine if Carwow managed to permanently get their hands on a circuit and there would be a track test, that’ll be so sick
Thank you so much for this video
Fantastic job as always Carwow!
5:09 What Mat should have said: "I feel a million miles away"
OMG FINALLYYYYY YYYYYES!!!
DO MORE CIDS EITH THE KIA STINGER PLZZZ
i really wanna see the kia back on the channel drag racing again!!!
So it can lose again 😡😡
czcams.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlM3/video.htmlrf
@@nicalev lose? Barely…if it was the AWD variant the VW would have 0 chance.
@@SEBi3S it lost? Dismally, fair point tho and at the same time put it up against an awd with a similar size engine with the same outputs as the stinger and I’m pretty sure what the outcome would be….again
@@nicalev Why is everyone ignoring the roll race? The Stinger absolutely destroyed the Arteon.
Tuned Exhaust on the Kia stinger sound awesome
Arteon R estate is so stylish, with around 50 to 100hp more would be the perfect car.
and had price like a Stinger 😉 @hon solo Stage 1 takes Stinger to 460-490hp
It’s VW. Power doesn’t mean much in many cases. Their engines often don’t stack up well on paper but beat most others out there in the real world. German engineering…
The VW was 2 cars ahead in the drag races and MAT kept saying it’s close 😅
Mat’s unfortunately always something against VW
He is is ridiculous.
I suspect the gear ratios for 0 to 60 is better in the vw. The kia is better for motorway driving ....I think
Dude it’s rwd, awd would’ve smoked that thing lol
@@hd_kerino1340 good point
I vote for the Arteon R 😅 Because it looks sexier 😁 although that Kia Stinger V6 Twin Turbo Sounded INSANE in the HOONIGAN drag race video with the Worlds Fastest Delorean 😍
Hey Mat 👋🏼
Could we have more tuned hothatch races please! 🏆
Also 100-200km times please! 😎
Thanks Carwow 😎
Agree with the 100-200 times
They do not even give trapspeeds at their "drag" race.

Mat(Carwow) makes a video that will be a drag race of the Kia Stinger 3.3 T-GDi GT vs BMW 630 Gran Turismo Pack M
Man did I watch this channel alot in 2019.... Good times :,)
Same here
Kia is doing a well good job with their cars in recent years
Kia and Hyundai, thanks to their trucks too, i wish they will start making motorcycles
No, ask a Hyundai or Kia mechanic.
Endless engine replacement
@@izzytherat1 In what engine configuration specifically? Most of their modern engines are pretty solid. As a whole they’ve improved leaps and bounds from where they were even 5 years ago. They’re still economy brands, but vastly more appealing than they used to be. The Stinger’s engine is shared with the G70, so it was given a bit more attention than others offered by Hyundai/Kia.
@@izzytherat1 I asked, they don’t replace engines often at all very solid
@@watyjules3791 have friends that work as Kia techs here in the states. They are doing an engine a day. All their GDI engines have rod and main bearing failures.
Launching a 4WD car up against a 2WD in the wet is a waste of time. Should do a first gear rolling race from like 15kph…. Take most of the traction out of the equation. Still like the vid, nice work!
Mat(Carwow) makes a video that will be a drag race of Kia Stonic 1.6 CRDi Drive vs Volkswagen T-Cross 1.5 TSI Style DSG vs BMW X2 18 D SDrive
at that price should include the 508PSE wagon and a 330
Hoonigan This vs That had a Delorean with the Stinger engine in it... Thing sounded WICKED cool !
My Husband used to have a 2018 Kia Stinger GT but sold it for a BMW M3 Comp but the stinger was a bloody good car.
Do reverse racing instead of the brake test :)
Do horn sound check
Do sound insulation test “ not applicable with Matt in the car, he won’t stop talking”😂
Do a test to see how rough the ride is.
I’m a big fan though and I hope you like some of my ideas
Next Race : Kia Stinger vs Golf R
More Stinger please 🔥🤩
I really wish the stinger 2.0 and 2.5 got some light shined on them. Especially the 2.5

@Squid Game 🅥 czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
All-wheel drive all day every day. Always great to see these drag races on wet or damp tracks. The Kia is a great car, but would be nice to see a AWD version.
They make an AWD version.
AWD adds expense & weight, only helps in the snow or rain. RWD with lsd is the better option.
@@cindykeselowski899 Worlds fastest stock cars are all awd.
I think you should test the kick down of the cars it the sportiest mode. If you do it in comfort mode, you're just testing how the manufacturer tuned it, if you do it in sport mode, you can see what's the best that car can do.
Just like how you give the 1/4 mile time for the cars. I think you should also give the distance each car took to stop in the braking test
Have a 2020 AWD Stinger GT you are welcome to try…one catch I’m in Canada. I will say though it launches hard in any condition and is a great value here as well!
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
AWD would be great. For some reason in the UK the stinger is RWD only
@@JGreen444 in Canada we can’t get rear wheel drive and we only get the fully loaded “GT2” trim. We do get a standard LSD with the AWD which I understand my American friends do not get. Product planners at Kia keeping busy it seems!
Absolutely love my Stinger. Would have been great to see this in the dry. RWD v 4WD in the wet is always a one way result. More Stinger on CarWow!
I love the looks of that Arteon in purple 💜💜
The arteon design is on point. Look slick as heck.
I have owned a 2018 Stinger GT here in Australia, for 3 and a half years now, still love it, it's unique looking, and it's in my favourite Deep Chroma Blue ( Dark Blue ) exterior colour, not available as standard in the UK and USA or Canada. 😊
Yep! Got one of the rare indigo editions here in the states with deep chroma blue and the gts d awd powertrain, best of both worlds! My favorite color.
@@vipeboy2003, you have a very rare colour Stinger there in the states, I wouldn't mind the rear spoiler from the newly released Scorpion Edition, not sure if Australia will get a similar version.
@@DCB2018 Thanks and if not, i'm sure the spoiler could be shipped over if really wanted :) I also love the "euro" wheels on the us indigo edition vs the standard wheels.

@@wezelhond5572 Yess, if not then atleast a M2 competition
Why didn't you get an awd stinger?
And why didn't you switch places, knowing that left side is wet?
If it was completely dry, the race of course would have been closer but I still don't think the Stinger would win.
This is very surprising, especially given that the stinger is rated at a 12.9 1/4 mile and 4.8 0-100. Most other reviewers seem to beat the benchmark not miss it.
It's not surprising.kia is trash
It’s wet, would probably get under 13 seconds if it was dry
This Kia is rwd and the arteon AWD the AWD stinger Kill the arteon easy 😂
Is there no 4wd stinger available in UK? It was bit unfair to compere 4wd with rwd on wet :)
Tbf English roads are 85% of the time really wet
@@dylandelpire2802 Another reason to have 4WD ;)
AWD Stinger is only available for Left Hand Drive units only
So unfortunate that they didn't end up going for the VR6 in the Arteon R.. Would've made it so much cooler.
Too heavy
Front end would have been too heavy.
@@ethanwaterfield3830 @Enviro_400_life This is not a 1200 kg hot hatch where it will mess up the handling, it's already a 1800 kg huge-ass sedan. Have you driven one and know this from experience? I have driven the 4-cyl and the handling is already nothing to clap your hands about. Even the old CC is more sporty my guys. :-)
@@HForceClan yes my Ol’ man literally picked an Arteon R shooting brake a couple of months back and tbf for a VAG car it handles a lot better than earlier cars, a lot more chuckable down a back road compared to even a last gen RS6.
I think the prob with the vr6 is its under powered NA and uses more fuel than its v6 competitors. With that said i still love the motor. I never flocked to the best MPG when shopping for a car. The VR6 never made class leading hp in stock form either And now with ICE being killed off id be surprised if they boosted it because its all about best mpg number to corporate. Maybe to replace a v8? Never understood why audi didnt boost it and throw it in the s4? The motor has big potential. But thats why i think its not offered. Just my opinion i could be wrong
That Arteon looks so nice
Nice
Admittedly I am a VW fan boy, but I do respect what Kia have been coming out with these last few years. Faux exhaust tips on a sports model though? Come on Kia...
I do agree about the faux exhaust tips but come on its literally the same on almost all new German cars
WOW that Arteon wagon NEEDS to come to the states.
Matt - we only have the awd v6 petrol Stinger in Switzerland…not too far for you to ‘borrow’ one and try that possibly? 👍🏻
It's nice to see cars like the Stinger getting noticed more :).
@Big Dongle and rather bold designs.
@Big Dongle What about the japanese?
I think it would have been different it was a dry track. My Stinger doesnt lose traction on launch at all…
We need the stinger races more often
I remember when £52k got you an e92 m3 which at the time was peak super saloon (even though it was a coupe but still….) I had one a couple years back and the original sales receipt was for £56k with a bunch of options. Barely get a coupe golf thingy with a 4 Cyclinder for that these days
Prices are just getting mad nowadays.

The stingers engine is awesome. Supposedly its fully Forged out the box and with a proper exhaust on sounds the absolute bollox... Out of ALL new cars, it's one of my favourites for sure.
The airplane crossed the line before the KIA 5:44. Do you know what KIA stands for? Keep It Away (KIA). 🤣

@@unboxsmooth3945 Yes it will be super amazing
BMW M3 Hurricane vs Audi R8 please !!!!! by the way amazing video
😄 funny how Matt laughs at 6:59, reminds me of Quagmire from the family guy
The Arteon is such a beautiful car! Wish they threw in the RSQ3 2.5 5 cyl engine in it!
its surprising how another full turbo and an extra 1.3 litres only gives 46 more bhp
Under way less strain though
I think they are being conservative as a 3.5 litre twin turbo engine from a Lexus LS500 can give 416hp.I think they could increase the boost pressure in the Stinger
I mean there are cars that make 1000hp from 3L V6 TT and cars that make 300hp. It's a decision they have willingly made.
@@joshhulse6141 Yeah, it's a super cruiser (70mph at 1600rpm) and effortlessly accelerates.
Plenty of stingers around now around 500bhp with a few mods and a tune.
The plane also did the quarter mile in 12.9 sec too Mat
