2026 Kia Stonic review Australia

Look. It's good. But is it THAT good? Subscribe here:    / @therightcar   The new look Kia Stonic is great to drive. And the new mild hybrid powertrain is great, too. But this is a small SUV, and it's the THIRD revision of it since it launched here, having initially made it to the market in 2017 (so, we're almost at Mitsubishi ASX territory). It isn't that plush or primo, and nor is it a high-tech masterpiece. That might be endearing to some, but in other ways, it's outdated and overpriced in a part of the market that doesn't really allow much rope... -- 00:00 2026 Kia Stonic 00:28 Is it the right price? 02:56 What are the best alternatives? 04:30 Is it the right size? 06:45 Interior 11:15 Under the bonnet 12:08 Driving 16:01 Efficiency 17:15 Is it safe? 18:19 Ownership 19:29 Verdict -- I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
