2026 Kia Stonic GT-Line Auto FWD MY26

The 2026 Kia Stonic GT-Line is a compact SUV that combines a relatively small footprint with the equipment and elevated driving position expected from a modern urban vehicle. Finished in Yacht Blue with a black interior, this example has travelled just 5 km and is equipped with Kia's 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a 48-volt mild-hybrid electrical system and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive keeps the mechanical package straightforward, while the compact dimensions make the Stonic well suited to city streets and tighter parking spaces.

The mild-hybrid system is designed to support the petrol engine through regenerative braking and start-stop operation. Alongside the turbocharged three-cylinder engine, it contributes to the vehicle's claimed combined fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km. The powertrain produces 88.3kW and 172Nm, with the dual-clutch transmission providing seven forward gears. This specification offers a useful balance between everyday efficiency and responsive performance without adding the complexity of a full hybrid drivetrain.

GT-Line trim gives the Stonic a more distinctive character, combining sporty exterior detailing with a cabin focused on accessible technology. An electric sunroof, leather seats, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting and climate control add comfort to the interior, while smart key and proximity key functions make routine access more convenient. Roof rails and privacy glass add practical and visual touches, and the 17-inch alloy wheels reinforce the model's more premium presentation.

The technology package is particularly well suited to regular commuting. The 8-inch infotainment display provides access to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while USB connectivity, wireless device charging, GPS navigation, digital radio and a six-speaker stereo help keep devices and entertainment integrated into the drive. A digital instrument cluster gives the driver a clear view of key information, and selectable drive modes allow the vehicle's responses to be adjusted to different conditions.

Safety equipment is comprehensive for a vehicle in this class. Autonomous Emergency Braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist are designed to support the driver in common traffic situations. Blind-spot monitoring, active blind-spot assistance and front and rear cross-traffic alerts add further awareness around the vehicle. Adaptive cruise control, high-beam assist, electronic stability control and brake assistance contribute to a reassuring safety package, while six airbags provide additional occupant protection.

Parking is supported by a reversing camera, graphical parking assistance and parking sensors. The Stonic's five-door layout and five-seat cabin make it versatile for daily use, while the luggage area provides 352 litres of minimum cargo space and expands to 1,155 litres with the rear seats configured for carrying larger loads. Its 900kg braked towing capacity and 450kg unbraked rating also provide modest flexibility for light towing duties.
