The 2025 Kia Stonic interior is a practical space but it feels a bit dated and underdone. There are Tricot cloth trim seats (in S and Sport grades) and premium seats (in the GT-Line).

There’s a satisfactory amount of storage space up front – including two cupholders between the seats, a few little spots for your everyday carry gear, and bottle holders in each of the front doors.

The back seat does not have any cupholders but there are bottle holders in the doors, as well as a USB-A port in the back of the centre console, a map pocket (in the back of the front passenger’s seat), and flip-down grab handles. There are no directional air vents.

Back-seat room is satisfactory for an adult, but fine for kids. The cargo area (with the rear seat up and in use) offers a listed 352 litres of space; with that rear seat folded down there is a listed 1155 litres of useable room.

Standard features in the 2025 Kia Stonic include an 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (in the S grade), 15-inch alloy wheels (in the S grade), 17-inch alloy wheels (in the Sport and GT-Line grades), idle stop-start, cloth upholstery (in the S and Sport grades), as well as heated, electric-folding side mirrors, roof rails and more.

Every 2025 Kia Stonic has a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine – producing 74kW at 4500-6000rpm and 172Nm at 1500-4000rpm – and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Every 2025 Kia Stonic has five seats: two at the front and three in the second row. The seats in the S and Sport are Tricot cloth trimmed; the seats in the GT-Line are premium seats. The rear seats are in a 60/40 split fold configuration.

The 2025 Kia Stonic can reportedly do the 0-100km/h sprint in 11.7 seconds. Top speed is around 180km/h.

Kia's official fuel consumption figure for the 2025 Stonic is 5.4L/100km, on a combined (urban/extra-urban) cycle.

The Stonic has an 45-litre fuel tank so, going by that listed fuel figure, you could reasonably expect a driving range of about 833km from a full tank. Fuel requirement is 91 RON.
