The Kia Stonic is a non-standard SUV, it can almost be considered small, disguised as a crossover. Result? Sport Utility, ideal for the city and agile in corners (but less spacious than the competition).
La Kia Stonik not SUV like everyone else: the size of Rio from which it originates (and it is for this reason that we think of it as the "B segment" disguised as Crossovers more than a real sports utility), it stands out design much sexier than winking at the off-road world.
In our road test we need to test the more expensive version of the small SUV Asiatic front-wheel drive: 1.6 CRDi in a very rich setting Energy... Let's find out together its strengths and weaknesses.
city
La Kia Stonik our main character road test is SUV Suitable for the city: Due to its small external dimensions (only 4,14 meters in length) and raw plastic fences, which are very helpful in parking spaces. IN rear window, however, it is not very large, but maneuvers are never a problem, when you can count on parktronic back and beyond television camera series.
Il engine Turbodiesel 1.6 CRDi with 110 hp and a torque of 260 Nm - more elastic than sandy - gives full thrust below 2.000 rpm and "0-100" on par with its rivals (11,3 seconds). The setting is sporty, with a rather sharp reaction to the holes.
Outside the city
The fact is that it is very similar - in size (7 cm more in length, 3 more in width and 7 more in height, counting the bars on the roof) and in weight - to the “cousin”. Rio done Kia Stonik one of the little ones SUV the funniest and most dynamic around. Glued to the tarmac and lower than its direct competitors, it doesn't seem to care about light off-road performance in order to focus on maximum engagement in rough mixed terrain.
Il engine - as we have seen - prefers linear and ready delivery over hard and clean performance, but Speed (six-speed manual with precise lever) and above all this steering (sensitive to the desired point) satisfies. However, those looking for the ultimate in driving pleasure are better off relying on 1.0 turbocharged petrol.
шосе
In motorway la Kia Stonik object of our road test it's not exactly laid-back: the desire for a stiff suspension setup - so convincing in corners - causes too much bump in the dimples, and at high speeds, some aerodynamic noise takes over. On the positive side, however, we note a great sense of stability when changing direction and brakes powerful.
head autonomy: House announces baby SUV Korean equipped engine - a bit noisy in the cold - 1.6 CRDi the distance is 1.071 km, but in reality it is impossible to reach an altitude of 900. Malfunction over tank small (45 liters) consumption (adequate).
Life on board
La Kia Stonik is SUV targeted at young couples without children: the salon is as spacious as one Rio (which is why, compared to more versatile crossovers - but also bulkier - there are not enough centimeters for the head and shoulders of the rear passengers) and trunk it is almost identical (332 liters versus 325), but has a slightly higher loading threshold. The situation is improved by using the double bottom and knocking down the sofa.
Concerning finish в dashboard (assembled with care and adorned with a superb 7-inch touchscreen) dominate the tough plastic.
Price and costs
La Kia Stonic 1.6 CRDi Energy our main character road test has three strengths that should not be underestimated. BUT design definitely successful, price very interesting (22.750 euro) and one standard equipment very rich. A few examples? Car radio Android Auto Apple CarPlay Bluetooth DAB USB с steering wheel controls, alloy wheels from 17", automatic climate control, Cruise control, fog lights, interior leather / fabric, navigator, pedal board in aluminum, folding mirrors electric light and rain sensors, parktronic from behind with television camera and tinted rear windows.
All together with one Warranty very long (7 years or 150.000 km) and consumption in the middle category (declared 23,8 km / l, always above 15 in all driving conditions). Instead of this preservation of value: everything will depend on the success that the baby will achieve Crossovers Asian in a segment full of competitors such as the small segment SUV and from the future that awaits all cars diesel.
safety
La Kia Stonik he is small, but there is one safety equipment of the "big": air bag front, side and curtain, Isofix attacks, lane departure warning, stability and traction control, automatic braking with pedestrian detection, pressure monitoring bus and driver fatigue detection.
Besides that, I brakes power, excellent cornering stability and good forward visibility.
