The Sport occupies the middle rung of the three-tier Stonic line-up, sitting above the cheap-as-chips S but below the flagship GT-Line.
At $32,290, it’s about $4.0K more than the cheapest Stonic. But you get a lot more stuff. Your alloys are now 17 inches, you get LED front fog lights and your cloth seats now have synthetic leather trim. You also get centre console storage, single-zone climate control, a better feeling steering wheel and shifter and rain-sensing wipers. You also get a bigger 12.0-inch central screen, extra USB-C ports and access to the 'Kia Connect' app and over-the-air updates.
All Stonics get the same powertrain. A clever 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.
The 48-volt system helps drop fuel use and C02 emissions, with the Stonic pegged at 5.0L/100kms on the combined cycle and 116g/km for emissions, both of which are lower numbers than the last model. The Stonic’s 45-litre tank could theoretically deliver a circa-900km driving range.
