The 2025 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 2025 prices range from $22,770 for the basic trim level SUV S to $38,280 for the top of the range SUV Gt-Line Mhev.
Standard no-extra-cost paint across the 2025 Kia Stonic line-up is 'Clear White', but premium paint – including 'Sparkling Silver', 'Astro Grey', 'Aurora Black Pearl', 'Signal Red', 'Sporty Blue', 'Honeybee' and 'Snow White Pearl' – costs $520.
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.

In every 2025 Kia Stonic the cargo area (with the rear seat up and in use) yields a listed 352 litres of space; with that rear seat folded down there is a listed 1155 litres of useable room.
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.
