Another great review . Hope to see the Kia stinger next !

I was actually reading the review till i saw a this youtube review regards kia stonic!! And now!! U are making to get one :) a nice review!! Thank you so much syed..

Hey nice review. A break of all sport cars these few weeks. Do abt kia stinger

Thanks for the Stonic review. And I agree that putting DCT into a light SUV is not what the average consumer would need. from Melbourne.

Great video! Feels very comfortable with your style of reviews. Like the vibe of it. Please do make a Toyota - Raize review soon !!

Drove this and I would say, I liked the power. I got a feeling that Kia was being a little conservative of the acceleration timing - quoted as 10.6 seconds. Some guy in a manual Stonic with the same engine and 17-inch wheels did it in 10.0 seconds (he was shifting a little slowly). The DCT should be faster than the manual. Another video showed a DCT Stonic, stock, accelerating to 100 in 8.8 seconds (in that video, the ambient temperature was low - hence, in Singapore I would say that the 1.0 base model with 15 inch tires is easily a sub 10-second car to 100). Excellent performance for the price. Excellent review!

thoughts on whether to go for the EX or SX trim?

The reason why DCT is also in a Stonic is it saves fuel as well according to Kia if you Google,other than performance wise-DCT is also known to be fuel economical according to Kia. Thanks for reviewing the Kia Stonic in 🇸🇬’s context! Perhaps review the Kia Seltos next?

Thanks 😊 CVTs are also efficient and optimal in getting power out of a small engine which was why I’m curious. Performance is not the key selling point of this car either.. but it’s interesting that Kia still went ahead with a DCT in this. No complaints though ✌️

@zenlee8479

Car Life Singapore Agree that CVTs are also optimal and efficient in getting power out of a small engine but in Kia Motor parts bin-DCTs then were readily available and it does not make sense economically for Kia to develop a whole new gearbox just for Stonic-therefore my take is Kia readily used the DCTs applied to numerous models in their line-up. If it were a CVT-I would have re-considered getting other ride...😅.

Drove my friend’s stonic and it’s a blast! Also very good value for the price . Wonder why there aren’t more on sg roads

I averaged about 11-13 km/l with this car when driving in the city and occasionally driving fast 😅

When it will be launch in india plz confirm the date

Kia uses a DCT probably because it can get more out of the small 1L turbo engine?

Hello Syed, how do you feel about sound insulation? Does the car take in many outside noise? TIA

Hey you can refer to this POV drive video. I don’t rmb too much NVH on this car other than the engine vibration at idle. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJh7ks6pisTPkto.html

what??? $82k Sgd?? that's around 2mill plus here in PH hahaha, then another $25 tax per year?? you might be so damn rich my friend owning one there, hehe actually, I'm on the waiting list for the base model which just cost me around $19k Sgd with roof rails, hahaha were so lucky here in PH, got NA engine though but no problem with that, but mainly reason driving around SG from point A to B roads seems a legal holiday here in PH hahaha, love to go back in SG sometime next year for the F1. nice vlogs btw.

How is the Stonic compared to the Suzuki Swift 1.0A turbo in term of the performance? Can do a review on the Suzuki Swift 1.0A turbo? Thanks

Yes you can, I also mentioned this at about 11:06 👍

Mazda cx 30 beats kia stonic for me, not a bad car though, but no new technology. Hyundai Tucson is very futuristic, compact Suvs better start following their trends.

would you have gotten this or suzuki swift 1.0L boosterjet? both are 1.0L turbo and priced quite closely...

Haven’t tried the new swift so I can’t say sorry. All else being equal, this is branded as a small SUV whereas the swift is a small hatchback 👍🏻

Thanks but i do suggest you watch Carwow review and lean from it. E.g. he would put a luggage at the boot to show the space and sit 3 adult at rear to check the comfortable. Fyi

Very freaking cheap :) can buy 4 better cars in australia kangaroos bangers already :) wonderful brillant marvelous bravo simply cheapest

what you say is wrong, fuel consumption is very high, not a good point of this car, I have this car, in city traffic is 10 litres for 100 km. It burns fuel like a 2.0 ! Why DCT? Because Hyundai/Kia have only that automatic transmission type!

@CarLifeSG

4 жыл бұрын

Hi, you got 10km/l in city traffic. I was getting 11-13 in a mix of highway and city driving. Also, FC is affected by many factor such as weight, tire size, driving style, driving conditions etc. Which could be different from yours. There are different types of automatics, DCT being one of them. Just because cars in sg typically come with automatics doesn’t mean they come with autos in other markets 😊

This is a SUV. Small Unusable Vehicle. Just an opinion.
