The 2021 Kia Stonic range of configurations is currently priced from $13,990.
Our most recent review of the 2021 Kia Stonic resulted in a score of 6.8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Family reviewer Nedahl Stelio had this to say at the time: The Kia Stonic S certainly looks the part and has good enough space for a family of four, with a big boot size for this small SUV category. Plus, there’s good safety and technology. I think it's a little sluggish to drive and I’d prefer more zip if I was buying a small SUV.

The 2021 Kia Stonic carries a braked towing capacity of up to 900 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Kia Stonic 2021 prices range from $11,110 for the basic trim level SUV S to $25,850 for the top of the range SUV Gt Line.
There are seven colours on offer with Clear White as standard, and the premium hues being Silky Silver, Perennial Grey, Aurora Black, Signal Red, Mighty Yellow, Sporty Blue.
The GT-Line is available in four two-tone colours, but if you go for this you’ll have to go without the sunroof, too.
Plenty of makes and models have glitches with their touch-screens and other on-board functions. And it would seem Kias of this vintage are no different. Problems include the touch function becoming unresponsive and the entertainment unit even deciding for itself when to turn on the music or make a phone call!
Ultimately, you may need to replace the entire head unit, but at that point, you could go with something aftermarket that offers more features and better sound.
But before you do that, try this: Next to the volume or tuning knob on the central display unit, there should be a small, round indentation. By pressing this with something small but pointy (like a ball-point pen tip or small knitting needle) you’re effectively resetting or rebooting the unit. The screen will momentarily go blank, but when it returns, you might find everything working again. But while this may restore things back to normal, the symptoms may pop up again over time as this is known as a soft reset, not a hard reset.
It would also be worth checking with your Kia dealer to see if the factory has issued any software upgrades for your car that might make things work more reliably.

Boot space is good with a cargo capacity of 352 litres.
The Stonic’s cabin is identical to that of the Rio’s. It’s a simple and stylish place, and while for the most part materials feel refined there are some overly plain plastic elements used even on the GT-Line such as on the door trims and dashboard.
Standard features on the S include 15-inch steel wheels, an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six-speaker stereo, cloth seats, reversing camera, auto headlights, cruise control, rear parking sensors, heated side mirrors and roof racks.
The Sport adds 17-inch alloys wheels, electric folding mirrors with indicators, sat nav, premium steering wheel and shifter, push-button start and a proximity key.
The GT-Line brings a tough-looking body kit, idle stop-and-go fuel saving tech, LED headlights and DRLs, the choice of two-tone roof or sunroof, cloth and artificial leather seats, rain sensing wipers, climate control and rear privacy glass.
