In terms of reliability, this one has more outside casa support than the raize. Because the kappa engine of this car was used for the accent,rio, soluto and reina. So engine is well tested.

[@ZigWheelsPhilippines]

Good insight regarding engine commonality!

[@argeljosephtapiador2167]

Been waiting for this Kiroy! Good Job! Finally a review worth watching! 😊

[@mototelic]

Thank you so much! That's high praise!

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

Despite with the amount of Crossovers nowadays this Stonic is still one of my favorites!

for power/uphill. Tiggo 2 pro or this stonic?

[@raymondmendones5620]

​@@jcl4860 base on the figures tiggo 2 pro has a slight edge on hp and torque.

[@nevamaldananjayasithraacha3492]

@@raymondmendones5620 but tiggo 2 pro is heavier so the higher torque might be dismissable.

Ah, the pop culture references continues! Spot that Michael Scott reference right there ☺️. Awesome review as always!

[@user-vs7fi1ei8n]

Got my EX in flash yellow 5 months ago, but still watching a review about stonic healing my inner peace ❤

[@multimemedia7537]

hello! how is your stonic now? any major cons experienced?

[@rondg2]

it wasn't emphasized enough in this vid but the best thing about stonic is it's not a CVT! raize, gx3 pro, etc are CVT. which brings us back to your question, what makes a car a crossover? IMHO it needs to have some ground clearance, roof load capacity, and some towing capacity. i wouldn't hesitate to tow a dirt bike w/ the stonic coz it has a conventional a/t, i probably wouldn't w/ the raize coz you'll probably destroy the CVT. so stonic is a real crossover. raize is just a raized hatchback

[@jlm1721]

Just took the LX version for a test drive over the weekend and you are so right about the driving dynamics and handling. 🔥

[@ZigWheelsPhilippines]

Driving dynamics are really an underrated factor in buying a car nowadays!

[@mpnistal]

Is engine immobilizer included. In the US, both Hyundai and Kia made a cut in security aspect and are being faced with multiple class suits.

[@Annihilus2000]

it looks soooo much better in person! I might consider this

[@ZigWheelsPhilippines]

We have to agree that it definitely looks good in the metal, the proportions show better that way!

[@kukuku786]

Buy this, then have the ECU Unichip retuned and get 112FWHP. That's a great thing to consider if you're in the market for a bulky Honda BR-V 😅😂

[@markjosephpunzalan4410]

Nice review, can you also review the EX variant. Thanks!

[@user-bb7op4oj5n]

Merong push button to start, auto temp, etc.

[@justinjacobe]

The production level of this review is top-notch!

[@ZigWheelsPhilippines]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@ralphgabrielurbano6543]

The entry level variant is LX while the top of the line is EX. The Style variant is just a kitted LX variant. 🙂

[@user-bb7op4oj5n]

But with foglights, the EX only have DRLs

[@DailyBitesofWisdom]

The moment I saw the interior, immediately I realise the "Style" edition is just the LX variant with a body kit. The aircon knobs gave it away. KIA found an ingenious way to sell the lower variants.

[@bigjane25]

We love our Stonic EX. Amazing car for everyday use.

Is kia durable underchasis/"pang ilalim" wise? Now im caught in between kia stonic vs vios and other sedan

[@ryanching8]

If thats your concern go for toyota. Haha i also own altis. But i really like the stonic style. Lol

[@justinegatchalian8408]

Our almost car, really stylish. But we went with Raize G variant because of its add on features. I would say it’s still worth considering the Stonic. Thanks for this review because 2 months ago I ran out of review videos to watch regarding this car 😅

[@kurnot]

May I ask what made you choose the Raize over this? Thanks.

[@mdfgo-kusmadi]

This looks good. I like this car. However, what I just don't like in this Stonic regardless of variant, the reverse light is only one and is located at the lower right bumper which I find it not good for safety? Idk. Just felt weird.

[@PapaRusty2023]

Euro style

[@lmviva2679]

Kaya nga we have LX AT variant, sabi nung kakilala kong driver, “pundi na yung isang reverse light mo” tinamad ako mag explain kaya ang sabi ko nalang “ganyan talaga yan”😅😅

[@user-bb7op4oj5n]

Pansin ko nga din, kaso euro style andto sa pinas wlang magagawa hahahhha

[@jervyqe]

Hays dapat pala na consider ko din to, VIOS XLE CVT nakuha ko

[@RealRoyRobles]

The Vios XLE CVT isn’t a bad choice either! I heard that it gets great fuel economy :-) I’ll be reviewing that soon as well 😊

[@yuhnder]

Top variant next

[@Urbansito_KolKol]

supposed to buy a stonic but they didn't have this style edition in Cebu - So I went to Raize

[@coderandcream]

so this is just for city driving? you can't take it for long drives?

[@Epagael]

Here in the Philippines, you can take it anywhere for long drive. Even smaller cars can do that. It is economical. With the right baggage weight and number of passengers, I think there is no problem to take long journey. Some do purchase a cross-over or smaller SUV because not only of its versatility but it is the most affordable type of vehicle they can purchase sans sedans or used cars

[@RealRoyRobles]

Sure you can! I just think that this is better suited for urban environments 😊

[@acc1tester398]

lol, lahat pwede dito, kahit eon nga pwede sa long drives

[@veejay8639]

Im planning to buy turbo raize or stonic..im torn..help me decide?

We hope we can do this soon!

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

Been waiting for this bro, Roy. Been checking the Stonic out for a while now. Actually, I am torn between the Honda Brio RS and this Stonic LX AT/Style Edition. I am a Honda fan since the SIR days and have been dreaming of owning a Honda but the Kia Stonic is kind of a bang for the buck due to its price for a subcompact crossover.

[@ZigWheelsPhilippines]

Definitely more space when going with the Stonic but the Brio is a livelier drive for sure due to being a small hatch

[@user-bb7op4oj5n]

Choose the 2-tone color, for more appealing and stylish look

[@krysteljennaleagena758]

Hindi po ba mahirap pyesa nito? And ano po malimit issue ng Stonic? Planning to buy this po kasi. Thanks

[@user-bb7op4oj5n]

Cons: Mahina ng konte sa paahon kasi FWD pero kaya naman, medyo mahatak sa gas tapos sa aftersale, consider na sa mabait at mapagkakatiwalaang agent kukuhain.

Tiggo 2 pro or Kia stonic? in terms of power and reliability

[@jeanvergara2018]

Kia

[@adamjames246]

Kia

[@raymondmendones5620]

Tiggo 2 pro has slightly better figures in hp and torque and much cheaper by 100k compared to stonic style. Looks? It's subjective but I Iike the look of tiggo 2 pro. Reliability? Kia has an edge but Chery offers the best warranty package in the market.

[@WPLBatch]

tiggo 2

[@acc1tester398]

is the free 3yrs warranty of chery really legit? or does it only covers some portion like labor only?@@raymondmendones5620

Wait, kailangan ko tong sagutin based on our real life experience with our LX AT stonic, nadamay sa multiple collision ang partner ko sa may Barkadahan (since taga cainta ka siguro familiar din kayo sa floodway) ito ang pagkakasunod sunod ng sasakyan, mini bus (byaheng megamall), delivery truck (closed van type), vios, kia soluto then yung amin pinaka last kia stonic, yupi yung unahan ni kia soluto pero yung likuran namin may gas gas lang na suppppeerrrr liit as in, nag taka din kami pareho nung may ari ng soluto, btw sa plastic sa bottom part tumama, (sorry di ko alam proper term doon) pero ayun na nga and also may tuldok na part na natanggal na kalawang as in parang dot lang ng pentel pen. So ayun. Hopefully last na accident na iyon praying for safety ng lahat.
