- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2017
- KIA Stonic is the new Korean B-crossover. The small crossover segment in Europe is still growing, with some 10 percent hike y/y in the first half of 2017. For comparison to the small MPV segment posted 17 percent decline. No wonder carmakers invest in the segment, which shows growth. Joining the B-crossover pack is KIA Stonic. KIA Stonic is based on Rio, and is about 4 thousand euro more expensive, than the supermini. As standard it has 6 airbags, manual AC, 7-inch touch display with Apple Car Play and Android Auto interface, Bluetooth, electric seats and side mirrors. All this and the modern looks come at 15 790 euro.

Thanks for this and previous reviews.....Enjoying.... Hello from Ukraine, we are watching You :)
Good video and helpful review. Thank you. 👍🏽
Good review.
You are so right, the first button I press this time of year is the heated seats/wheel (it's the same button)
😁😁😁😁 00:41 Nice review!
Don't know about other countries, but in Croatia Kia set absolutely ridiculous prices - Stonic with plain 1.4 100 hp engine is about 19.000 Eur. For about the same amount we can buy Suzuki SX-Cross 1.4 Turbo with 140 HP, equipped with adaptive cruise control and other bells and whistles.
Rodjeni to je previse !! U Makedoniji pocetna cjena je 12.990e, 1.4 100ks motor je 14.600e. Mislim da je to sasvim korektno.
W następnych odcinkach proszę o pokazywanie kierunkowskazów szczególnie ledowych;)))))

Hiya Marek!
Say, is there a chance that we'll see you reviewing a new Ssangyong Rexton anytime soon? I know that people have preconceptions about the badge, but it is a 4,9 meter off-roader priced like mid-spec Qashqai. Seems rather interesting, don't you think?
Keep up the good work! (:
Maybe in the spring. I'm wrapping up production for the winter. Days are too short and weather too unpredictable.
Marek can you test Qashqai 2018 or Jeep Compass? Thanks
Yes.
Nice car but I like only soft suspensions as the roads get worse and worse
Price on Stonic in my country is very pleasant.. I'm getting a 1.0 top trim Stonic with everything they provide, with full leather interior and metallic brown color for 19800€. I think it's a reasonable price for such car with 7y warranty. What do you think, guys?
That you live in some ok country without high taxes
I miss your usual note about consumption. H/K motors are famous to be worse than competition in that regard.
I must have forgotten. Obviously, it wasn't what KIA promises, but it wasn't terrible. In 4:00 you can see it's 5.9 L/100 km. This is a mixed cycle figure I got driving this car for a week.
I test drove it last week.
Disappointed
The suspension to hard
The acceleration was lagging despite putting the acceleration petal down.
It was this lag that put me off from buying it
Aye Jeep Renegade yeah yellow cars are AWESOME everyone in my towns knows it me sigh* it's a good and bad thing
Too expensive... they lost their mind, that 1.2 petrol is not enough even for rio. When it comes to steering feel, I had the same feeling in kia pro ceed mk1 that I owned, their steering is really bad in my experience. But I like that they have front mid arm rests in every equipment level.
Heated wheel is good. Kia Stonic is not worth the two grand premium over the Rio...it's only got a 70mm raised ride height over its little brother and that's no good for bad knees and doesn't give the lauded 'command' driving position with vision advantages either.
Stonic L = Rio XL, so it's not so much difference in price.
Stoned + Sonic and sell it to the people that grew up on Nintendo LOL.
Why not simply buy a hatchback?
Good question. Maybe this is more trendy?
Here's my opinion, as someone who didin't stand the disign and fuel ineficiency of any SUV. I live in Romania and most of the roads are bad. In the city there is lack of parking space and i often need to clime the sideways kerbs, also i find lots of steep angles on the road. I also find bad roads and most of the above roads problems in my trips aroand europe. I currently drive a vw golf and is painfull to always scratch the protectiv shield added aftermarket, i'm always concer I will brake something underneath. For these reason i seriosly consider buying this type of car next since the added ground clearance solve most of the above problems. I know it will be worst then a golf in term of driving dinamics and fuel economy but its a good compromise. That's my take of why these become so popular nowadays
24000? WTF!!
More expensive than a C3, Rio, Fiesta blah blah
Speak slower
Listen faster.
Don't be so ironical
I think the word you're looking for is "ironic".
Whatever
The correct word is ειρωνικός.
Greek of course.
