The long-awaited 2023 Kia Stonic has finally arrived on the market, offering an attractive combination of design, technology and efficiency. This crossover hatch, equipped with a 1.0 turbo engine and hybrid system, promises to revolutionize the category with its unique aesthetics and economical performance.

The 2023 Kia Stonic features a striking and stylish design, standing out for its bold front with elements such as triangular and honeycomb grilles. The contrast of the roof in a different color and the combination of gray and yellow give the vehicle a modern and youthful appearance, the manufacturer also offers colors in white, gray, yellow, black and blue. The model also has 17-inch wheels and a height from the ground of 15 cm, indicating a adaptation to urban life mmore than for off-road terrain.

The interior of the Kia Stonic 2023 is well finished, with seats partially covered in leather and a dashboard with details reminiscent of carbon fiber. Despite being compact, the interior space is adequate, with a 365-liter trunk. The multimedia center, although simple, is functional and meets basic needs of connectivity.

Performance

Equipped with a 1.0 turbo engine, the Stonic offers a dynamic and efficient driving experience. Assistance from the 48-volt hybrid system provides an increase in power, totaling 120 horsepower and a torque of 20,4 kgfm. And of course, the car is surprisingly light, weighing in at 1225kg, which makes for a agile and economical performance. According to tests, consumption is 11.6 km/l in the city and 17.1 km/l on the highway, impressive numbers for the category.

Security and technology

The model is equipped with six airbags, ensuring safety for all occupants. The hybrid system not only improves performance and fuel economy, but also contributes to smoother driving by reducing the turbo lag common in turbocharged engines.

The model positions itself as an attractive option in the crossover hatch market. Its innovative design, combined with the efficiency of the turbo and hybrid engine, makes it an interesting choice for those looking for a compact, economical and stylish car. However, the suspension could be better adapted to Brazilian driving conditions, and the absence of a conventional spare tire may be a point of attention for some consumers.
