The Stonic is the smallest SUV in the Kia range, sitting below the Seltos. It is built on the Rio platform but raised up, and it is aimed at the buyer who wants the SUV look at a city-car price point.
What you are buying
A 1.4 L petrol four (or 1.0 L turbo in GT-Line), paired with a six-speed manual or automatic, driving the front wheels. The GT-Line adds the turbo engine, the larger touchscreen, and the styling pack.
Cartell Assessment
The Stonic is the small SUV for the buyer who wants the Kia warranty and a price point that most rivals abandoned. It is not the most exciting in the segment, but it does the basics, and the seven-year warranty is the longest in the class.
AU Outlook
Stonic GT-Line pricing in 2022 sat at $30,490 drive-away. The entry S manual was around $24,690. Cross-shop is the Hyundai Venue, the Mazda CX-3 and the Suzuki Vitara.
