The Kia Stonic is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Kia Motors. Its name is derived from the words "speedy" and "tonic".[5] The Stonic debuted in Frankfurt on June 20, 2017 and in South Korea on July 13, 2017, and was released in the fourth quarter of 2017.[3][5][6]
Overview
The Kia Stonic made its debut at the 2017 International Motor Show Germany . It is the smallest in Kia's SUV lineup, below the Niro, Sportage, and Sorento. The Stonic shares its platform and interior with the fourth generation Kia Rio.[2][3]
The Stonic is offered with a choice of four engines: a turbocharged 1.0 liter three-cylinder engine, a 1.2 liter four-cylinder engine, a 1.4 liter four-cylinder engine, and a 1.6 liter CRDi four cylinder diesel engine; the latter being the sole offering in the South Korean market.[7]
Personalization is a key factor in the Stonic's development, thus it will be offered with 20 different two-tone color combinations, including five different roof colors.[7]
