Although you may not necessary rope the Toyota Camry and Kia Stinger into the same category, both cars were recently recognized for their interiors on WardsAuto’s list of the 10 Best Car Interiors of 2018.

Whether you care more about comfort or the latest tech features, you’ll be all set with either the Camry XSE or the Stinger GT1. As we discovered, many of the elements that make these two models stand out, at least as far as their interiors are concerned, happen to be shared with one another. That’s why you don’t see too many differences outlined in the table above. It’s worth noting that safety technologies, such as forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and others, are standard on all Camry models but only optional on all Stinger models, except for the GT2 (where they are standard equipment). The Camry XSE also comes standard with wireless smartphone charging, which is not available on the Stinger. That said, the Stinger stands out when it comes to performance with additional horsepower and available AWD.
