The Kia Stonic is a small SUV that offers you plenty of interior space while maintaining a sleek and stylish exterior. It comes with all the latest technology including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment centre, smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and reversing cameras. The latest model also utilises a mild hybrid powertrain, using an electric motor to support the conbustion engine and give you the very best performance possible. It's a great choice if you're looking for a stylish SUV that comes with all the latest tech at an affordable price.
The Kia Stonic serves as the brand's entry-level compact crossover. It bridges the gap between traditional hatchbacks and larger SUVs, offering a higher driving position without the bulk or price tag of a full-sized family car. Within the lineup, the Stonic is most similar to the Kia XCeed and the Kia Niro. Like the XCeed, it prioritises sleek looks and road-focused handling over off-road capability. However, it remains more affordable and smaller.
When compared to the Niro, the Stonic serves as the simpler, petrol-based alternative; while the Niro is strictly hybrid or electric and focuses on maximum efficiency, the Stonic relies on mild-hybrid technology. The version of the Stonic equipped with 48V mild hybrid (MHEV) technology achieves an official WLTP combined driving range of approximately 508 miles on a full tank.

The version of the Stonic equipped with 48V mild hybrid (MHEV) technology achieves an official WLTP combined driving range of approximately 508 miles on a full tank. The efficiency and total range of the 1.0-litre T-GDi mild-hybrid engine vary slightly depending on the transmission and trim level selected. It's rated for a combined fuel economy of up to 51.3 mpg and the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT) is the most frugal option, achieving the top end of the official efficiency figures at 51.3 mpg. Models with the intelligent manual transmission (iMT) achieve slightly less, at roughly 49.5 mpg.
