Kia Motors' all-new 2018 Stinger fastback sedan has won an EyesOn Design award for Production Car Design Excellence at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

At an event usually focussed on introductions from American car companies, it was Kia's Stinger that took the limelight. "We have made a lot of great cars and I'm proud of all of them, but the Stinger is something special." said Peter Schreyer, Chief Design Officer for Kia Motors.

The EyesOn Design Awards honour the best production and concept vehicles making their worldwide auto show debut at the NAIAS. This year's categories include Concept Car, Production Car, Concept Truck, Production Truck, Innovative Use of Colour, Graphics and Materials, Interior Design, User Experience Award, and Designer Catalyst.

The design of the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger was overseen by Peter Schreyer and Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer for Kia Motors Europe.
