Kia certainly has high hopes for its latest the entry-level SUV, the Stonic, even proudly dubbing the new model as a “game changer” during its release late last year. Indeed, one glimpse at the price tag alone— which is ridiculously way below PHP1 million—is enough to convince many first-time car buyers to give the new crossover more than a second look.
The all-new Stonic is equipped with a 1.4 dual CVVT engine paired with a six-speed automatic in the upper trims and a five-speed manual transmission in the base variant. The engine has two different power outputs depending on transmission—99hp for the automatic and 94hp for the manual. Torque remains the same for both though, at 132Nm.
Inside the Stonic, a laser-focus on ergonomics is evident all throughout, as the cabin filled to the brim with features designed to uphold “both style and comfort,” according to the brand. Practically every function is just one press away, thanks to smart placement and easy-to-tweak construction of the buttons and knobs. Other nifty interior features include a 3.5-inch TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel, remote keyless entry, USB and 12V power outlets, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay connectivity. There’s no leather in sight, and although fabric is the only upholstery option, the material is textured with an upscale feel.
The Kia Stonic is available in three different trims. If you want to know the breakdown of the features along with the pricing for each, check out the information below.
