Kia Stonic 2025 review: Sport
By Marcus Craft · 13 Jan 2025
Every 2025 Kia Stonic is equipped with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. And that's big news because that engine was, until now, only ever offered in the top-spec GT-Line. Small SUVs offer plenty of urban-driving appeal and carmakers like Kia have fine-tuned their compact vehicles into crowd-pleasing products. But is the new and improved Stonic worth your consideration?

Kia Stonic 2023 review: Sport
By Helen Frost · 14 Sep 2022
The Kia Stonic Sport has made quite an impression since its Australian launch last year. It's pint-sized but packs quite a bit in for the price tag. You get a sporty look, good safety features and a fair amount of tech, but it's the ownership options that makes the car stand out. Let's take a look and see if the cheaper price tag means it misses out compared to its rivals.

Kia Stonic 2021 review: GT-Line
By Peter Anderson · 08 Mar 2021
Kia's Stonic was never supposed to come to Australia, but falling global demand and a persistent local operation - as well as our rapacious appetite for SUVs - opened a gap that Kia Australia jumped into

Kia Stonic 2021 review: Sport
By Byron Mathioudakis · 24 Feb 2021
Though four years late to the light SUV party, Kia's Stonic has been worth it, with super-keen pricing, generous equipment and a strong showroom presence that should see buyers flocking to it.
