Exterior and interior

Exterior follows the “Opposites United” philosophy: a distinctive Tiger Nose grille, sharp LED headlights with daytime running lights, and dynamic body lines. Updated bumpers, rear lights, and the increased length give the crossover a more modern, confident look while keeping it compact.

Interior Kia Stonic has become noticeably more premium. The panoramic dual-display made up of two screens creates a sense of space. Quality materials, user-friendly ergonomics, and a well-thought-out layout of controls ensure comfort. The rear row fits two adults, and the boot is easy to reconfigure.
