Kia Stinger 2022 Surround View Monitor (SVM) 

The Surround View Monitor (SVM) in the 2022 Kia Stinger is a technology marvel that combines art and engineering in a way that changes the way you drive. This new feature, which is usually only offered on certain trim levels, goes beyond regular parking aids by giving the driver a full, immersive view of everything around the car. The SVM uses a network of carefully placed cameras around the car to create a real-time, bird’s-eye view on the infotainment screen. This gives drivers a level of spatial awareness that has never been seen before when parking and making low-speed turns. The 2022 Stinger’s dynamic guidelines, easy-to-use controls, and perfect clarity make parking a breeze. This shows Kia’s unwavering dedication to combining speed and advanced technology, and every drive is an experience of both style and confidence.
