Kia’ Stonic is the Korean brand’s light SUV follow-up to its well-received Seltos small SUV. While it had been on sale in international markets for quite some time before its Australian launch, the Stonic still launched in 2021 to some fanfare as a well-specified alternative to an expanding crop of light SUV challengers.
Taking the fight to the Hyundai Venue, Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross, and MG ZS, the Stonic has the same underpinnings, interior fittings, and drivetrain options as the Kia Rio hatchback (complete with its flaws), as well as a contemporary design which is quite unique from its larger Seltos sibling. As always, the Stonic carries Kia’s generous ownership promise.
The Stonic’s line-up currently kicks off at $25,460 for the Stonic S and reaches to $31,780 for the Stonic GT-Line.
