Kia STONIC EX+ 2021 Detailed Review in Pakistan / 1.4L / Buyer's Guide
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this detailed review of Kia Stonic EX+, we have extensively tested it's practicality, drive and comfort. Kia Pakistan has recently introduced Stonic with 2 variants, EX & EX+. Stonic is a B-Segment Hatchback (Crossover) that Kia likes to call "SUV for the City".
It starts from 3.68 Million PKR for the EX variant, however, the sweet spot is the EX+ which costs 3.88 Million PKR. It has a lot features that it's elder brother Sportage doesn't have, for instance, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, more Airbags, better instrument cluster.
Once we dived into the details, we realized that there's some serious cost-cutting in the quality of interior. Overall the look of the interior is pretty cool, thanks to it's yellow colored trims. Kia Stonic is a great step towards providing more options under the 4 Million PKR price bracket. However, if you look at the price then there are a lot of other good options in the market as well.
Kia Stonic is offered with a 1.4 Liter petrol engine in Pakistan. It's engine produces 99 HP & 133 NM of Torque.
Pakistan's car market has been deprived of new exciting cars for a long time, however, Kia has a taken a great initiative by introducing Stonic here. We will soon be making another review of the base variant of Kia Stonic, i.e. Stonic EX. Although, a lot features are missing from it but it's an exciting car nonetheless.
Let us know your opinion about Kia Stonic in the comments below.

How is your experience? Share your thoughts please.
I used to listen to these 2 very fondly, but anymore. I test drove this car and loved it a lot. It’s full of options, such as sun roof, cruise control, parking sensors, floating screen with Android Auto, Apple Car Play, push start button, 6 air bags, 6 speakers, , single zone climate control, peppy engine, among others. Does Toyota Yaris and Honda City offer these features? It may seem like the same size as that of hatchback. But it’s not. It doesn’t have a full-sized trunk , but has the same passenger space as that of a full-sized sedan. It’s perfect for daily city commute.

Oh please kia’s just trying to sell this “suv” by adding additional features, rest it’s crap for the price they’re offering it for. It’s the same size as vitz and swift on steroids. This car has the same chasis as Kia rio which is a small hatchback. Also check the size of the cars on paper, your assumptions about the size and “it doesn’t seem like that” doesn’t matter. Yaris and Honda City don’t offer these features but they’re bigger in size (both body and engine wise) plus the price difference is huge. About 8 lacs between yaris ativ 1.5 and about 5 lacs between City Aspire 1.5 (on road price).

@@omer-fb1wt , there is imperceptible difference in power between 1.4 and 1.5 L engines. So, you shouldn’t even bring this up. As for the size, I am happy this doesn’t have a trunk. Who needs a trunk daily these days , after all ? Few people need huge luggage spaces in trunks these days. And even, on rare occasions, if we need a bit of more luggage space, we can make use of the roof racks. Speaking of comfort, style and appeal, this car has a lot more of them on account of the extra features that Honda and Toyota don’t offer. Another extra comfort-related feature that you get in this car is lower road noise because of superior sound dampening. The sound tests of these two Johnnyies proved that. As for my cabin space-related “assumption “, I didn’t feel that its cabin space is any smaller. I test drove this car and also drove the Honda City the same day. I have Yaris already and I used to drive it on a daily basis. I repeat, I didn’t find KIA’s cabin space to be any less than that of Yaris and City.

@@uzair3508 well certainly we need to take price-category/size comparison into account. If you don’t need a trunk and a small hatchback for local use, you should simply go for Kia picanto in that case. We’ll obviously compare the price to the category of the car, not on the basis of what you find comfortable to sit in and what you don’t. As far as interior space is concerned, Suzuki alto is far more spacious than a Honda Civic, does that mean it should also be priced at 4 million?

@@uzair3508 also the price difference for the “extra features” they are offering is not justified at all. It’s 8 lacs more than yaris and 5 lacs more than City. Would’ve meant competition if they priced it to similar to those cars. You can get a 1.6 Corolla Altis for 4 lacs less than this (which is a C category sedan). While you can also go for Honda Vezel in the same price range which is superior in every way compared to stonic

@@omer-fb1wt, There is a perceptable difference between Picanto's and this car's interior space. Picanto is noticibably smalller from the inside. It feels a lot more clastrophobic than Stonic. We shouldn't compare the two. Please sit in both of them one after the other at your local showroom to find out what I am talking about. Regarding the Altas-Stonic comparison, Stonic wins hands down - again. Stonic has a sunroof; parking sensors; 6 airbags; Android Auto/Apple Carplay; no trunk, which is great for manovering, parking and general city driving; halogen headlingts; far superior infotainment system; and, more importantly, higher stability because of the almost equal width but shorter length. I wouldn't compare Stonic with Honda City as well. This is because the Honda City being sold in Pakistan is a very old generation, and since the ages-old design and plaform have been selling for a long time, they can keep the price down. They have economic of scale and sales history working in their favour. New entrants don't have that advantage. Additionally, the City, for that matter Corolla also, has become an eye sore now. They are ubiquitous. We need something different now, something fresh, and something more appealing. Coming to what you said about the Alto having the same interior space as the Civic, this is a joke. Lol. Civic is noticible larger from the inside. You don't seem to have an accurate sense of sizes and dimensions.
Reviews are very good. Can always rely on you guys. Especially since you give a non biased in depth review which is not given by other channels. Keep doing what you are doing. Will always watch.

Really impressive content as usual guys. Just a suggestion/feedback, in your final verdict section, maybe look into incorporating numbers based on different factors (comfort, fuel average, space, quality etc) so it sorts of form a benchmark. Comparing cars in the future based on the said benchmark would become beneficial for potential buyers and a lot easier as well. Great work!
Fairly balanced review but could have been framed better. My main issue with most Pak reviews of this car are the awkward comparisons with sedans and bigger crossovers. Different segments, different priorities. It's natural competitors are obviously other subcompact crossovers. Also, many Pak reviewers seem to have an issue with it feeling like a large hatch but thats not necessarily a negative. Its smaller dimensions give it a good balance of slightly raised driving position and overall stability imo. It has a nimble character and I personally really like that.
A proper review! Proper research plus comparing with other competitive. Such reviews really help a one to decide what would be the best option for him/her! Kudos yar. Ant editing is on point. Hats Off to both guys. Keep up such reviews! No way I'm going with a sub! 🙏
Absolutely spot on! Couldn't agree more with ur entire review, esp the Final Verdict. Keep it up. Educated and well researched reviews.
I disagree with your review. I have driven the car, it is full of features. I have previously used Civic, Corolla, City, and Swift. Among all of them, I liked this car more. I will rate it based on comfort, build quality, safety, fuel economy, and design.
Sir both of you are very experienced and knowledgeable Reviews given to us highly appreciate your efforts
A 100% unbiased review Shaheel and Ali. Bravo.
Would never buy this. it is small and not Economical in fuel efficency + parts (its new i believe its parts would be way more expensive than City 6th gen).i also checked this car, its rear space is very bad😵. Love your review its Unbiased and true! ❤
Great and most honest review with always better photography Keep it up Bros
Re unlock button 8:07 The reason for providing lock/unlock button in the center is comfort and safety. At times, you forget to lock your doors and start driving away. In a traditional design, it's slightly difficult and somewhat dangerous to lock doors by bending your arm to the side while driving. But that's not the case if the button is in the center. All you need to do is extend your left arm. It's not "odd," it's ergonomical -- a concept most Pakistani consumers aren't aware of.
Lovely.. As usual cover almost all things and a honest review..
its 29th April 2024 and KIA just reduced price of EX+ from 6.2m to 4.8m. Possibly the biggest price drop.
Great review as always! Keep it up guys
Great review guys. Ali & Shaheel, I agree with both of you on your final verdict.

There is only problem and u completely missed it. Detailed exterior walk around, side profile, lines, front grill, tail pipes. U guys spending too much time inside the car and almost none outside. For ref go watch one vid by carwow. Other than this u guys simply roxxxx...keep up the good work.👍👍👍
Love your content, keep it up brothers.
Thanks for another great review Few suggestions 1. Front field of view is always a bit compromised onto the pillars side for even care with very good front visibility, so we can add a comparison to worst like Sportage or MG or with some good ones 2. Engine Bay view is normally not well covered in details,. May be you can add Engine view, battery position, the ease for adding up water, radiator size and there can be so many things 3. High speed stability, braking, night experience inside car with cabin lights, Rest awesome
I think people would have preferred this if the price for EX was 33 lacs And for EX plus 35 lacs because then people would compare it with city and Yaris and stonic looks like a better option but 38.8 lacs is just too much Elantra or Corolla is way better option I am not saying civic because now it is also over priced a lot .

i am hesitating between MG ZS (44.45Lakh) and Stonic EX+ imported (42.5Lakh), can you recommend. i found that performance wise Stonic is better, more features (front/back sensors, arm rest, retractable side mirrors, hill support, track support, 6-speed, smar opening, smart engine start), better look but the downside is size, space and not really a SUV. What do you recommend? or new SWIFT?
Kindly update us about new model / shape of corolla 1.8 in Pakistan and it's probable specification.. Thankx

Bahi iss ma space ka bhi masla ha hatchback type hona ki waja sa aur ma iss ko chor ka kia Sportage alpha ya Elantra!!
Look wise the car is cool. But when u compare its price one shud definitely go for elantra as comapred to stonic. Nonetheless if you have extra and uninvested cash and u need a second car for your personal use then one can go for this car just because of its exterior looks and saftey features.

You guys are my go to reviewers when it comes to unbiased opinions on car but this particular now feels dated because the options you mentioned are around 7 to 8 lacs expensive. As for debate regarding it being hatch or suv, it definitely feels like a hatch but all over thr world, it is known as compact SUV so who are we to suggest otherwise. I personally loved the drive and feel of Stonic way more than new Swift and Peugeot 2008. Road Grip, Maneuverability and Quality of drive is second to none.
Since when comparing a Sub-compact SUV with Sedan became a norm ?

Aaj kal jitni bhi cars Pakistan me launch ho rahi hain un sub ki price bohat zada set ki rahi hy or maze ki bat yeah hy k price high rakhne k liye unko galt category me mention kiya ja raha hy. For example MG GT jo k Internation market me City or Yaris se compete krti hy usko Pakistan me Civic or Corolla k 7 pitch kiya ja raha hy. KIA Stonic jo k B segment me ati hy usko b C segment sedan ki price me launch kiya geya hy. MG ZS jo k B segment me ati hy usko b C segment sedan ki price me launch kiya geya hy. Changan Alsvin ki price me bohat zada hy kis b International market se.

I am of the opinion that this car is expensive because its the latest generation that is being sold worldwide unlike Elantra, Corolla, City and Civic or or that matter Picanto. Latest gens tend to be a little expensive for example Sonata, and also the upcoming Corolla and Civic will be 5,0+ Million then this car will make sense from a Price perspektive. If it was a generation old car then it would have been 3-5 lacs cheeper but everyone would have been like KIA NE PHIR SE OLD GEN INTRODUCE KAR DIYA SHAME ON KIA.

This version was launched in 2017, which is around 4-5 years old now. Soon they’ll launch a new version in international market and this shape will be in production here for the next 4 years so your comment doesn’t make any sense
