Kia Stonic updates and facelifts

The Kia Stonic received a facelift in 2020, which added new LED headlights and on top trim levels, such as the GT-Line, the body kit had subtle design changes to the bumpers and rear spoiler that give it a sportier look.

Kia also refined the range of engines available with the Stonic in 2020, deciding to keep just the 1.0-litre T-GDi petrol engine. In 2021, Kia updated the badge design on the car to keep it up to date with its other models and made some subtle exterior changes as well.

Available in petrol and diesel engines, the Kia Stonic offers drivers a decent choice of engines for the best performance and fuel economy for their needs.

Practicality and style of the car

The Stonic comes with a 352-litre boot that can be expanded up to 1,155 litres, comparable with the Hyundai Kona’s 1,156 litres. The boot comes with a false floor that acts as a handy storage area for keeping valuables out of sight or for storing safety equipment. You can fold the rear seats down to create a flat loading bay, and with the Stonic’s class-leading wide boot opening, large items can easily be loaded and unloaded into the boot. There are also storage hooks on the sides of the boot which allow you to secure shopping bags.

Kia Stonics can also come with roof rails, which can be fitted with roof boxes or racks for extra luggage storage and for transporting bikes. Two ISOFIX anchor points are located in the outermost rear seats which are used to securely install children’s car seats.

Running costs

The Kia Stonic falls into insurance groups 8 to 14 and has a yearly road tax of £180. The Stonic falls into a lower insurance group than its rivals such as the Nissan Juke (11 to 15) and the Citroën C3 Aircross (8 to 22), while road tax is average for compact SUVs. This makes the Kia Stonic a relatively affordable compact SUV to run.

Features you can expect in a Kia Stonic

interior

The interior of the Stonic offers drivers a smart, practical design and well-finished surfaces. The straightforward layout of controls on the dashboard makes it easy to use and navigate.

Located in the centre of the dashboard is an infotainment screen for onboard entertainment and navigation. On iterations after 2020, this screen comes on all trims as an eight-inch screen, but before 2020, the entry-level trim has a seven-inch screen whereas all other trim levels have an eight-inch screen. This system comes with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone connectivity, for accessing your own personal music library and contacts. You’ll also find a DAB radio and, on all but the entry-level trim, a built-in satellite navigation system.

When navigating the infotainment display you can either use the touchscreen or the handy shortcut buttons located below the screen. Air conditioning is controlled by a set of buttons below the infotainment screen for quick adjustment.

The Kia Stonic offers passengers a comfortable ride. The driver sits in a relaxed position in the cockpit and has plenty of seat adjustment options. In the rear there is enough space to accommodate three adults comfortably with good amounts of legroom and headroom available to all. On some trim levels, such as the Quantum, you’ll find heated seats and a heated steering wheel to help make winter mornings cosier.

Storage spaces around the Stonic’s cabin help to keep the interior tidy and provide handy spaces to stow personal items. In the front, there is a large seven-litre glovebox, two cup holders in the centre console and a storage space built into the central armrest.

There is also a tray in the front of the centre console where you can store smartphones or car keys. In the rear, there are two more cup holders and map pockets on the back of the front seats, which are useful for entertainment devices, books and other personal belongings for passengers.
