The Stonic is inspired by the form and function of larger Kia SUVs. A sweeping roofline and uniquely designed roof rack add a sporty look to the vehicle. The unique tail lamp graphics amplify Stonic’s youthful and futuristic appearance.
The car blends sharp horizontal feature lines with softer sculpted surfaces, and brings compact dimensions and a low centre of gravity to the class.
The European-designed cabin echoes the appearance of the exterior, with straight lines, smooth surfaces and geometric design forms. The Stonic’s interior places technology and ergonomics at its heart, with smart packaging maximising space for all occupants, and a "floating" HMI (human-machine interface) seamlessly blending smartphone access with the car’s many functions.
Kia said the Stonic would be the most customisable Kia ever, inside and out. It would go on sale in the second half of 2017.
Hyundai owns a stake in Kia.
