Kia Stonic went on sale a little while ago, and its numbers, though already impressive, are set to explode once supply is sorted out.

Last month, Kia moved 745 Stonics, a great total by any measure. That is still a fair way off Seltos’ 1097 and Cerato’s 2711. Numbers are good, but more Stonics would feature on driveways if only Kia could sort out the supply. Covid has strip-mined the auto industry with delivery promises left in tatters. You might well ask then why I was so impressed, and the answer is simple: Stonic is cute, fun, and cheap, like her be-hatched siblings.
When you walk into a Kia showroom, you’ll notice a demarcation right down the middle, and on one side is Sorento, Seltos and Carnival basking in a halo techy goodness. Everything else is on the other side, trying their level best not to look slightly depressed. Perhaps that’s unkind, because they don’t look bad, but they don’t cut quite the same dashing Darcy-esque silhouette as the shiny new things.
We recently reviewed the Niro, and came away slightly downcast. It wasn’t about design, but more about price, and it was too soft and squidgy. Stonic however, leaves us with no such misgivings. It is young and fun, and at a price commensurate with its quality. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it is excellent value even with one or two nifty knickknacks a no-show.
