FOLK seeking a supermini-sized crossover really should check out the latest Kia Stonic. I’ve recently been testing the Korean marque’s cracker in top-spec GT-Line S trim with a mild-hybrid engine and it put a smile on my face every time I got behind the wheel.
That’s because it provides a decent drive, is very well kitted out as well as comfortable, and it is keenly priced.The Stonic has definite kerb appeal with a blend of slimline and chunky design features, as well as contrasting sharp creases and smooth surfaces.I also appreciated the subtle use of chrome brightwork around the side windows and for the roof rails, as well as the contrasting gloss black roof.The silver skid plates front and back as well as the black finishing to the lower parts of the car also catch the eye and add a sense of robustness.
And the car sits on dynamic-looking, two-tone, 17in alloy wheels that add a touch of class.Stepping inside, the GT-Line S has attractive black cloth and faux leather seats with intricate white detailing and piping.A flat-bottomed steering wheel along with a carbon-fibre effect trim running across the dash add a touch of sportiness.
And the cabin is surprisingly spacious, with room for four adults to travel in comfort.The 352-litre boot is more than good enough for a couple of cases or the weekly shop, while folding the 60/40-split rear seats provides a useful 1155 litres of loadspace.Extensive interior storage areas include a centre console box and cup holders, bottle holders in every door, an illuminated glove box, an overhead sunglasses case and a front passenger seat-back pocket.The infotainment system consists of an eight-inch touchscreen with sat nav, DAB radio and full smartphone compatibility.
