Safety
The Kia Stonic has a five-star ANCAP safety rating, based on the result achieved by its Rio twin in 2017.
This rating applies to S and Sport variants and will expire on December 31, 2024. The Stonic GT-Line is untested.
At its local launch in 2021, Kia Australia defended the then four-year-old safety rating applied to the Stonic, as it homologated the light SUV as a variant of the Rio light hatch with the same Identification Plate Approval.
Six airbags (dual front, side and curtain) are standard-fit.

Dimensions
Measuring 4.1 metres long and 1.8 metres wide, the Stonic is the baby of the Kia SUV range, slotting in under the Seltos, which measures about 4.4 metres in length.
It’s also shorter, with a 1.5m height compared to the Seltos’s 1.6m.
2024 Kia Stonic boot space
The Kia Stonic has a 332-litre boot, rising to 1135L with the second row folded.

Warranty and servicing
As per the wider Kia range, the Stonic is covered by the brand's seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, and a complimentary one-year roadside assistance program.
This can be extended to eight years through annual servicing at a Kia dealership.
57
Capped price servicing is available for seven years, with costs dependent on the powertrain and service interval.
S and Sport variants require servicing every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. The turbo GT-Line has a shorter 12-month/10,000-kilometre interval.
