Kia has used a lot of black plastic up front in the Stonic but it's broken up by the tech and dials and still has a fairly modern design. There are a few thoughtful storage features included like the sunglass holder and extra light under the visor.

The Stonic comes with an 8.0-inch touch screen which is fairly easy to use, plus Bluetooth, a USB input, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Sport and GT-Line versions are wired because they comes with their own in-built navigation system. 

The Stonic seats five, with enough space for the driver and front passenger to be comfortable, but the back row is a tight fit for three adults (or three car seats). The seats come in a dark cloth trim for the Sport model.

The 0-100 time for the Kia Stonic is about 10 seconds. It'll be faster if you choose the turbocharged petrol model, which has more grunt that the non-turbo grades.
