Kia Stonic 2021
Carsguide Family reviewer Nedahl Stelio had this to say at the time: The Kia Stonic S certainly looks the part and has good enough space for a family of four, with a big boot size for this small SUV category. Plus, there’s good safety and technology. I think it's a little sluggish to drive and I’d prefer more zip if I was buying a small SUV.Â

The 2021 Kia Stonic carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
