Movement That Inspires... Faster

Kia has transformed from a budget alternative into an automotive powerhouse. Whether you drive the track-tuned Stinger GT, the award-winning Telluride, or the sharp-looking K5, your vehicle represents the cutting edge of design and value. However, despite the "Tiger Nose" aggression and advanced tech, factory ECU settings often hold back the true potential of Kia’s Smartstream and Lambda engines to meet strict economy ratings.

The Stage 2 SMARTTUNE with AI Technology is the upgrade your Kia has been waiting for. This isn't a generic chip; it is a sophisticated, AI-driven OBD2 module that interfaces with your Kia’s advanced powertrain management. It learns your driving style—whether you are maximizing MPG in Eco mode or using Launch Control in a Stinger—to unlock the responsive, spirited performance that the factory software suppresses.

Optimized for Smartstream and GT Performance

Kia’s modern engine lineup is engineering brilliance, featuring technologies like CVVD (Continuously Variable Valve Duration) and high-pressure GDI. Our AI technology safely optimizes boost pressure, ignition timing, and fuel delivery to bridge the gap between "daily driver" and "performance machine."

  • Unleash the Stinger: For 3.3L Twin-Turbo owners, the chassis can handle more than the factory gives. The chip sharpens throttle response by up to 50% and boosts mid-range torque, making the car feel even more explosive out of corners.
  • Fix DCT Hesitation: Owners of Seltos, K5, and Sorento models with the Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) often report jerkiness at low speeds. The SMARTTUNE optimizes low-end torque delivery to smooth out that initial engagement, making city driving seamless.
  • SUV Authority: The Telluride and Carnival are fantastic haulers but can feel heavy when loaded with the family. Gain up to 28.6 ft·lbs of added torque from the V6, making hill climbs and highway merging feel effortless.
  • Turbocharged Urgency: For the 1.6T and 2.5T engines, turbo lag can dampen the fun. We optimize the signal to eliminate that delay, giving you instant acceleration the moment you touch the pedal.

Custom Programmed for Your Specific Kia

This module isn't a "one-size-fits-all" device. The Stage 2 SMARTTUNE utilizes the OBD2 port to detect your vehicle's specific VIN and powertrain profile. It then applies the correct mapping adjustments tailored to your exact model generation.

  • Models Supported: Stinger (GT/GT-Line), Telluride, Sorento, Sportage, K5 (Optima), Forte (GT/Koup), Soul (Turbo), Seltos, Carnival (Sedona), Cadenza, K900, and Rio.
  • Engine Tech: Automatically detects and adjusts for Smartstream G/D/T, Lambda V6, Gamma 1.6T, Theta II 2.0T/2.5T, and Hybrid powertrains.
  • Adaptive Learning: The onboard AI processor analyzes your specific vehicle's sensor data over the first 200 miles, creating a bespoke map that enhances performance while respecting Kia’s reliability standards.

Typical Stage 2 Gains

Horsepower Up to +30 HP
Torque Up to +28.6 ft·lbs
Throttle Response Up to 50% Faster
Fuel Economy Up to +2 MPG

100% Safe and Warranty Protected

Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile warranty is the best in the business, and we know you want to keep it intact. The SMARTTUNE is engineered to be completely safe and non-invasive.

  • No Warranty Flags: The module does not "flash" or permanently rewrite the ECU. It operates as a live signal optimizer. To return to stock for a dealer service, simply unplug it. It leaves no digital footprint.
  • Plug-n-Play Simplicity: No need to open the hood or mess with engine sensors. It installs in seconds via the OBD2 port located under the dashboard (usually near the fuse box).
  • Reliability First: Engineered in the USA to operate within the safe limits of your engine, backed by a lifetime warranty and a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on my Kia Hybrid (Sportage/Sorento/Niro)?
Yes. The chip optimizes the gasoline engine component of the hybrid system. It improves the transition between electric and gas power and ensures the engine operates at peak efficiency when running.

Does it help with the Soul Turbo?
Absolutely. The "Box that Rocks" becomes a serious sleeper with this upgrade. The 1.6T engine responds incredibly well, gaining significant punch in the mid-range.

Is it safe for the Telluride's transmission?
Yes. The 8-speed automatic in the Telluride/Palisade platform is robust. The AI ensures that the increased torque delivery matches the shift logic, preventing harsh shifts while holding gears longer on hills.

Will it make my Kia louder?
No. It increases performance through efficiency and timing optimization, not by altering the exhaust. Your quiet, comfortable cabin remains exactly as Kia intended.
