The flagship of the three-model Kia Stonic family, the GT-Line is also obviously the most expensive, at $35,740. That’s about $3.5K more than the mid-tier Sport and a significant $7.5K more than the entry-level S.
You don’t get any more power for that extra spend, either. All Stonic’s share the same powertrain — a three-cylinder, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with 48-volt mild hybrid assistance that means 88kW and 172Nm (up from 74kW). It has a seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission. Fuel use is a frugal (and claimed) 5.0L/100km on the combined (urban/extra-urban) cycle.
What you do get, though, is more stuff. The GT-Line rides on a unique 17-inch alloy wheel design, and nabs a sunroof, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and ambient interior lighting. It gets the full Kia twin-screen treatment, with two 12.3-inch displays handling multimedia and driving data and you get a wireless charger.
