8:00 - Please note that there is a typo error in the video. The engine of the Stonic is a 1.4 L as mentioned by Iverson and not a 1.5 as seen in the text.

Can you adjust the steering wheel height in kia stonic lx at?

[@mikegallego7848]

Love the editing, Julian and Iverson! This car looks nice in and out. I see many of them on the road and I guess the design took a lot of inspiration from the Mazda 2. The rear part including the taillight, and the center console layout look heavily similar. Anyway, looking forward to watch your Volvo review filming and eat Korean barbecue with you guys!

[@vongumboc4709]

I'm gonna have this car, one of these days 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ErnestMarvinEsteban]

one of the cars that when I see on the road I immediately know that it's a stonic. It's beatiful to be honest and very youthful tingan.

[@SlickSportsPH]

Great review!

[@alexvhino]

It looks like an evolution to the Kia Rio. Love the youthful design of this car.

[@wilfredomartije7028]

[@j2m1c]

parang sedan lang sya ah.. masikip.. 😅 ka size nya lng po ba yung mga toyota rush or mitsubishi expander? or ford ecosport?

[@ilnnvo_flea]

maluwag din po space niya sa loob kesa sa sedan like mitsu g4, mas malaki po ang rush at expander.

[@blueKAPTIN]

Y u so gwapo same like Stonic 😍😍😍

[@rsmith4385]

Is this recommended for beginners? Me and my husband are planning to buy Stonic Ex At, hopefully before this year ends makuha na namin. Is this a good buy? BTW 1st time po namin bibili Ng car 🙏🏻

[@ilnnvo_flea]

yes po good buy po siya as your first car, tulad namin first car namin ito and nag eenjoy ako ng husto, lalo kung maliit na pamilya lang kayo like you and your husband with 2-3kids 👍

[@beautifuljen8731]

@@ilnnvo_flea How is your Stonic now Sir? Ours will be released tomorrow. LX AT variant. Gustong gusto ko talaga looks ng Stonic. Makina at features sa loob di rin naman papahuli.

Ano ba tlg engine upon review 1.5 pero sa title 1.4

[@AutoPH]

Oh no! That's a typo. The engine really is a 1.4 L as mentioned in the title and by Iverson himself.

[@hansmiguel9624]

Would you consider this a better pick than the Vios XLE in terms of engine, suspension, transmission, and cabin space?

[@andreadipapica5148]

Hi! May nakuha na po kayong answer for this? I'm also torn between the two 😅

[@misssavage9829]

Go with honda city.. safety features mas lamang

[@bravemaster99]

Up for this. Anyone has an informative opinion? Answers will be much appreciated.

[@princeandrewbacsarpa8579]

up for this question please… I’m also torn between the two

[@ilnnvo_flea]

actualy bago namin kunin itong stonic, nasa choice namin ang honda city, and toyota vios, pero sa pag review namin kung anung mas fit sa needs namin, eh nag go kami sa stonic. why? mas mataas ang ground clearance niya which is need namin dahil medyo mabibigat kami, mas maluwag ang loob, mas hitik sa features para sa presyo niya, kay eto kami ngayon, satisfied and walang pagsisisi...

[@CS-eb4bb]

Ano maganda eto or honda city

[@ilnnvo_flea]

kung i compare mo siya sa honda city rs siyempre mas maganda honda city rs, pero kung sa city v or s lang eh sa stonic kana.

[@avenj7421]

My parents and I are eyeing this vehicle but we're skeptical about it's 1.4 gas engine w/ 98hp and 132 Nm torque. I'm wondering if it'll be a good hauler (dahil sa business namin and my friends that'll ride with me). 10km/l is quite good but then again how will it perform if under load? Baka naman po pwede makarequest ng review of this car under load hehe (medyo marami din pong ahon sa area namin) p.s. we could've gone for a more capable car pero budget ung naghihinder sa amin also, this'll be our second car (it'll be more of a daily driver, grocery grabber and road trip weapon with friends and family)

[@kpopster]

How is the car now?

[@ilnnvo_flea]

okay po siya sa paahon but if you want more power or hatak sa mga uphill, i-shift mo lang siya sa manual +-, mabibigay niya sayo ang hatak na gusto mo.

[@janperz5600]

Walang fog light yung ex version?

[@AutoPH]

The EX version gets LED DRLs instead of fog lights.

[@Bosdaks]

Ang hirap na bumili ng sasakyan ngayon, ang dami nang magandang choice. hayyy

[@vonayuma5521]

Totoo yan haist lalo na kung kagaya ko ala pambili hehe

[@rmvillasista]

Can you also review Kia Stonic Ex 2022 pls. :)

[@AutoPH]

It’s the same as the 2021, only the logo is different. 😊

[@rmvillasista]

Is there an improvement on the back camera on 2022 from the 2021 model?

[@jtour2784]

thats a little bit pricy for its segment 975,000 pesos you can buy suzuki ertiga wich is 7seater a way better than this one

[@w1ldm4n82]

Kung ertiga lang, edi mas mabuti pang mag innova na slightly used. Diesel na tapos 6at pa. Di kagaya sa suzuki na 4at lang.

Kia Stonic

[@darylp9306]

Still not using the new logo? hmmmm.. 😕 sadt.

[@adoreslaurel]

Also, no cruise control shown. But at least it got a genuine emergency brake, they are dying out what with the potentially lethal electric park brake making inroads.

[@Bosdaks]

pinayagan po kayo ng Kia alisin yung plastic? hehe

Hindi. 🤣🤣

@@SamuelSantos-bj7xe Hello sir, how's the engine power, fuel consumption, audio quality? And is there anything else you would want to share? Planning to buy Stonic but the only the LX MT variant.

[@SamuelSantos-bj7xe]

@@bravemaster99 engine power is decent naman. May times na medyo hirap siya sa steep uphill if D lang ung mode EX variant. Hindi ako nag manual mode that time but to consider 4 kami sakay naman that time. Fuel efficiency depends sa octane ng gas siguro. 25% consumed on a 180km drive using premium and on expressways

[@incognitostatus]

6:03 may check engine kagad 😬

Only the car’s ignition was on so all warning lights were also on.

[@solobrugada9624]

correction, MG is not chinis, it's British

[@ibaadnadeem5863]

SAIC motors which is a Chinese state owned company owns MG so basically that makes MG a Chinese company too

[@solobrugada9624]

​@@ibaadnadeem5863 Company yes, but it's still a British "Brand"

[@ibaadnadeem5863]

Yes, you are right. Brand is British , owned by Chinese company SAIC and mostly designer of MG cars are British too but the technology and car parts mostly comes from China

[@RemTiangco]

While the Stonic looks actually good, I think the Kona has the better value for just a little more, you get a bigger car, 2.0 engine vs 1.4, although it loses out on standard convenience features though. I was about to comment on that B-pillar gap pero na mention na din hehe.

[@AutoPH]

OCD attacks! Hahaha
