Interior

The Kia Stonic made its debut at the 2017 International Motor Show Germany. It is the smallest in Kia's SUV lineup, below the Niro, Sportage, and Sorento. The Stonic shares its platform and interior with the fourth generation Kia Rio.[2][3]

The Stonic is offered with a choice of four engines: a turbocharged 1.0 liter three-cylinder engine, a 1.2 liter four-cylinder engine, a 1.4 liter four-cylinder engine, and a 1.6 liter CRDi four cylinder diesel engine; the latter being the sole offering in the South Korean market.[7]

Personalization is a key factor in the Stonic's development, thus it will be offered with 20 different two-tone color combinations, including five different roof colors.[7]
