2023 KIA Stonic EX+

---

The South Korean multinational company KIA Motors is the manufacturer of the KIA Stonic 2023, a subcompact crossover SUV. It was originally made available in South Korea in 2017, and in October 2020, it underwent cosmetic changes. Due to its dismal sales in South Korea in 2020, it was cancelled. On November 8, 2021, however, the updated model is introduced in Pakistan.

According to KIA, the phrases SPEEDY and TONIC—the first and last notes on a musical scale—are the origin of the word STONIC. The Stonic is the smallest crossover in the KIA model lineup, behind Sportage by two steps. The KIA Stonic is marketed as a tiny car for large experiences, which implies that it can be used for both lengthy travels and sightseeing visits within cities.

KIA Lucky Motors is assembling this automobile locally in Pakistan. The KIA Stonic Completely Knocked Down (CKD) models are prepared for delivery to dealerships for viewing and test drives. This implies that the market will also have easy access to its replacement components.

KIA Stonic EX	PKR 4,800,000 EST
KIA Stonic EX +	PKR 5,250,000 EST

KIA Stonic Engine:

Both the KIA Stonic EX and KIA Stonic EX+ come with a 1.4L petrol engine. The 6-speed automatic transmission engine generates 99 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and 133 Nm @ 4,000 rpm to give optimum performance for these front-wheel drive vehicles.

KIA Stonic Interior:

The KIA Stonic 2023’s cabin is spotless and cosy. The business states that it can seat five people, but in reality, it can accommodate just four. Both versions include 6 airbags, and all of the seats have movable headrests. To maximise storage capacity, the rear seats may be folded down 40:60.
The D-shaped steering wheel makes driving more convenient and gives the driver more legroom, although it is only offered in the KIA Stonic EX+. The driver has access to options like audio calls, speech recognition, and mid-software changes since they are included in the steering wheel controls. The Stonic’s handbrake is manually operated.

An 8-inch floating infotainment system is housed in the middle fascia’s high gloss black finish. With voice recognition Bluetooth connectivity, it supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Bluetooth multi-connection feature enables the simultaneous connection of two devices, one for hands-free phone and media and the other just for media. The Stonic sound system’s 6 powerful speakers deliver an exceptional infotainment experience. Additionally, there are two charging ports: one for the back passengers and one in the fascia.

Only the KIA Stonic EX+ is equipped with the cruise control option, manual speed assist, and start/stop button. Park Assist Sensors for both forward and backward are included with the EX+. Both versions offer Vehicle Stability Management, which maximizes security by keeping the vehicle balanced and stable. Driving on steep roads is made even better with hill start assist. Better handling on slick surfaces is made possible by the anti-lock braking system. Single-zone temperature control is a contemporary innovation that aids in stabilizing the vehicle’s interior environment.

KIA Stonic Exterior:

The KIA Stonic 2023 stands out from its rivals thanks to its svelte yet assertive appearance. Its assertiveness is enhanced by the tiger-nose grille, a KIA trademark, and the powerful bumpers. The grille for the Stonic EX is matte black, while the one for the EX+ is piano black. All of its variations include LED daytime running lights, although only the standard bulb is available for the front and rear fog lights on both types.

Both the KIA Stonic EX and EX+ include heated, retractable, and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors. Additionally, the EX+ includes a rearview mirror.

The bi-function halogen projection headlights on the KIA Stonic EX have static bending light and illuminate the corners of the road as it turns slowly. The EX+, however, boasts LED projector headlights.

The Stonic 2023’s high rear window and three-dimensional combo lighting make the back just as impressive as the front. The rear window, which has a high-mounted brake light, is capped by a deliberate spoiler. The sunroof is another feature that the KIA Stonic EX+ offers over the EX variant.

All Stonic 2023 variations’ aerodynamic designs channel airflow into the engine and wheel wells for improved stability at high speeds. The EX and EX+ both have 15-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment.
