Used Kia Stonic for sale

The Kia Stonic comes with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist and six airbags as standard. Top trims add blind-spot monitoring, and automatics have adaptive cruise control. ISOFIX points are on hand to secure child seats. Two Euro NCAP ratings apply – models with standard equipment earned three stars, while those with the additional safety pack earned five stars.

Earlier Stonics offered a choice of engines, including a 1.4-litre petrol and a 1.6-litre diesel, but from 2020 onwards the range is petrol only. The 3-cylinder, 1-litre turbo comes in 99bhp or 118bhp options. The more powerful engine includes mild-hybrid tech. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard, but there's also a 7-speed automatic version if that's your preferred mode.

All Stonics include an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio and Bluetooth and rear parking sensors. There are five trim levels – 2, GT-Line, Quantum, 3 and GT-Line S – and you get more features the higher you go. The GT-Line and above add a rear-view camera, but even base models are well equipped compared to some rivals.

The most recent petrol engines in the Stonic can achieve between 47mpg and 55mpg (according to WLTP stats), depending on trim and transmission. Real-world figures are usually a little lower, especially for stop-start urban driving, but owners rate the mild-hybrid 1.0T for its balanced power and efficiency.

Watch for interior wear, especially on hard plastics, and ensure all recall work for brakes or electronics has been completed. Alloys can show signs of kerb damage. Most Stonics are reliable, but getting service records and a full The AA Vehicle Inspection is always smart.

The Kia Stonic generally ranks well for reliability, especially as Kia parts are proven to be dependable. Major issues are rare, but some surveys rate it lower than class leaders for minor faults and time for repairs. Kia’s 7-year warranty adds a solid layer of protection for buyers of used models.
