Kia Stonic Cars
The Kia Stonic is an impressive and versatile compact SUV that is well suited for Australian driving conditions. It's built on the same platform as the Kia Rio, giving it excellent handling and manoeuvrability on city streets and winding roads alike.
Under the hood, the Kia Stonic comes with a choice of two petrol engines – a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 74 kW of power and 172 Nm of torque, or a more powerful 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine producing 88 kW of power and 151 Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard, while a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is available as an option.
One of the key advantages of the Kia Stonic is its high level of safety features. Standard safety features include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, driver attention alert, rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot detection. This makes it one of the safest compact SUVs in its class.
Inside the cabin, the Kia Stonic offers a comfortable and spacious interior with plenty of headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers. There's also a generous amount of cargo space in the back which can be expanded by folding down the rear seats when needed.
In terms of technology features, the Kia Stonic comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Higher-end models also offer features such as satellite navigation, climate control air conditioning, push-button start, keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers and LED headlights.
Overall, the Kia Stonic is an attractive compact SUV that combines style, practicality and safety into one package. Its strong performance capabilities make it suitable for both urban and highway driving in Australia, while its high level of safety features ensure peace-of-mind on any journey.
