The new Kia Stonic has arrived and it’s turning heads. With a confident new design inspired by Kia’s Opposites United philosophy, upgraded tech inside, and mild-hybrid powertrain options, this latest version of Kia’s popular compact crossover brings big-car features to the small-SUV market.

Refreshed inside and out, the new Stonic is designed for drivers who want style, connectivity, and practicality in one smart package.

Kia’s design team has given the Stonic a major visual update while keeping its compact, city-friendly proportions.

• New Star Map Signature Lighting and bold new grilles give the front end a stronger, more distinctive look.

• Resculpted bumpers add 25mm to the overall length, giving it a more planted stance.

• New tailgate and taillight designs with an updated skid plate complete the transformation at the rear.

• Two expressive new colours join the range – Adventurous Green and Yacht Blue.

Drivers can choose from new 16-inch and 17-inch alloy wheels, with exclusive 17-inch designs reserved for the sportier GT-Line trim.

“The new Stonic brings elevated design and upper-segment technology to the mainstream market,” says Sjoerd Knipping, COO of Kia Europe. “It’s a stylish and smart solution for European drivers who want more from their compact crossovers.”

Recognising that not every driver is ready to go fully electric, Kia offers the new Stonic with two efficient petrol options:

• 1.0-litre T-GDi (100PS) – a smooth and responsive petrol engine

• 1.0-litre T-GDi Mild Hybrid (115PS) – improved efficiency and lower emissions

Both versions are available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering a balanced mix of performance and efficiency.

This dual-powertrain approach means the Stonic remains an ideal transition model — perfect for drivers who want eco benefits without compromising everyday practicality.

Step inside the new Stonic and you’ll find a cabin that feels a class above.

• Panoramic Dual Displays: Two 12.3-inch high-resolution screens merge infotainment, navigation, and driver information into one seamless interface.

• Multimode Touch Display: A smart new feature that lets you switch between climate control and infotainment settings with ease.

• Refined Details: A reshaped dashboard, new steering wheel options, and updated gear knob give the cabin a premium feel.

• Comfort & Convenience: Wireless smartphone charging, USB-C fast charging ports, and ambient interior lighting all come as part of the upgrade.

Kia’s mission to “democratise technology” shines through — bringing high-end features to an affordable compact crossover.

The new Stonic is built for the connected generation. With Kia Connect, drivers can access real-time data for navigation, weather, and vehicle diagnostics.

Through the Kia App, you can:

• Check your car’s status remotely

• Lock or unlock doors from your phone

• Find your vehicle in a busy car park

And with Digital Key, compatible smartphones and smartwatches can unlock or start the car — no physical key required.

Safety has been upgraded across the board, making the new Stonic one of the safest cars in its segment.

Key driver assistance systems include:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 1.5 (FCA 1.5) – detects vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians

• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) – warns and brakes if you try to change lanes with a vehicle in your blind spot

• Safe Exit Warning (SEW) – alerts passengers to approaching vehicles when opening doors

• Lane Following Assist (LFA) and Highway Driving Assist (HDA) – help you stay centred and maintain a safe distance on motorways

• Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) – automatically adjusts speed before bends

These features use a combination of radar and cameras to make driving safer and more effortless — even in the hustle of city traffic.

The new Stonic has been designed and engineered with European drivers in mind. Compact, stylish, and efficient, it’s built to handle everything from tight urban streets to weekend getaways.

With its bold new look, refined interior, and advanced connectivity, the Stonic continues to be one of the most versatile compact SUVs on the market — and now, more capable than ever.
