KIA Stonic 2022 | City SUV Or Hatchback? | Bamwheels | Omer Arshad

[@anasmemon22]

I wonder how many people who are commenting, have actually driven this car. You may call it hatchback all you want but all over the world reviewers call it "compact suv" so I'm not sure why we try to suggest otherwise. It may lack power but i personally found its drive to be superior than Swift, City and Peugeot 2008. But ofcourse, its just my opinion.

[@Omark711]

It's a good car but price is too deep for a so-called SUV which it isn't, it's just a hatchback like Aqua or Swift. Price should've been around 30-32 Lac, it could've damaged sales of Yaris and City at that price bracket as well.

[@Bamwheels]

Couldn't have agreed more! Definitely overpriced.

[@shaheergaming1558]

Mujhe tau ye behtareen lgi hai q k sari dunia ab compact cars ki trf ja rhi hai due to traffic problems, so a good addition

[@Bamwheels]

Thanks for your feedback - are you planning on getting one?

[@faisalfoods5157]

You are absolutely right Its not old school type about lock 🔐 Bachon k sth car k andr sy lock hona zarori hota

[@Bamwheels]

Yes i agree

[@ali-zg1ku]

How is the build quality as compared with yaris and city?

[@farazviraniofficial1291]

Sir that is a great review , keep it up and thanks for comparing it with your swift actually that gives the heads up idea of the size before making buying decision and i really like the way you review. thanks once again for the effort brother.

[@Bamwheels]

Thank you - Appreciate it!

[@abnfalcon3901]

It is just a hatchback that is made to "look" like a crossover SUV

[@chaos2243]

ye koi batai!! es ke charo drls kaisy ON karny ha ???

[@shoaibahmedkhan5885]

With due respect dear, may I know your vehicles judgment qualification ? . A company is calling KIA Stonic as a City SUV, and world wide V loggers also recognized SUV, but Pakistani V loggers presenting there own pholociphy. ????

Sir. Kia stonic new price it's value for money ?

[@MuhammadMujtababinMurtaza]

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.

[@faisalguljunejo5902]

Is it better or Toyota yaris 1.5 x

[@asad19801]

teeen dabba

[@ali-zg1ku]

I have a same question and i guess build quality wise stonic is better and price and market value wise ativ x is better

[@HassanAli-pc4ig]

Bro I went to stonic showroom while driving my yaris 1.5. When I sit in the stonic, it turned out to be a huge disappointment due to limited headroom even on front seats. If u r less than 5-10, then may be u can feel ok

[@faisalguljunejo5902]

@@HassanAli-pc4ig thank you I also have Yaris 1.5 and i am 6”1

[@shahidrao2728]

@@faisalguljunejo5902 It is not an upgrade to yaris or city. U can sit on front seat if it is fully lowered but better keep yaris or look for other options.

[@tahamadani2462]

In the review, the comparison with Swift 4th gen makes me feel that Swift is a better option, given much lower price.

[@Bamwheels]

Lets see what the build quality is like once it launches - anybody's guess at this point in time.

[@RizwanPervez]

sir as compare to New Swift top of the line - which car is better Swift or this Stonic? In terms of (I) comfort (ii) running cost (iii) performance

[@Onlyfunx10]

For sure stonic

[@ShaheenKhan-fp8hx]

Very good review so far of Stonic. According to you is this car or subcompact good for Pakistan tour. Please reply. Many thanks.

[@Bamwheels]

Hi Shaheen, being a brand new car eliminates the breakdown factor so yes. But given the dimensions & seating capacity, it highly depends on the size of your family. Hope this helps.

[@ShaheenKhan-fp8hx]

Thank you dear very nice of you.

[@AbdulRasheed-lt7yo]

Sir. It's DCT or CVT transmission ?

[@msaadjilani]

Neither. It's a simple automatic

[@ahmadnaeem6719]

Dont forget its ground clearence is 185mm which is 10mm more than that of Corolla.

[@Bamwheels]

We can only review what is in front of us and give our opinion. Only time will tell Stonic's fate in this market :)

[@aadillatif2738]

@omerarshad, Assalamualaikum sir, kindly suggest me if i have a budget around 4 million then what brand of suv should i buy option r MG ZS, Honda Vezel, Kia Stonic ?

[@Bamwheels]

MG still has a reputation to make. Stonic doesn't necessarily qualify as an SUV (or crossover perhaps). Honda Vezel is a good option to consider (if you're not too bothered about resale).

[@shairlodhi7662]

@@Bamwheels Thank you sir🙋‍♂️

[@amirshafique253]

If any body already owns a sedan and suv and wants to have an extra different car as shashka then probably kia stonic makes sense. Otherwise it is not a replacement for suv or sedan.

[@HassanAli-pc4ig]

Its a hatchback. I wanted to buy it but got disappointed when I saw it in the showroom. If someone wants SUV then go for Sportage.

[@abdullahnoormuhammad9654]

why bro?

[@HassanAli-pc4ig]

@@abdullahnoormuhammad9654 In the video, stonic looks like a SUV but in reality its a very compact SUV (reaching almost hatchback category). If u sit on front seat n adjust it to your comfort then thr will b very less space on back seat. Also, My head was touching the roof. U can try it in the showroom. May b it will suit your requirements

[@Bamwheels]

Agreed - may look like an SUV but it really isn't.

[@sharyakbar2086]

I dont know which features are people talking about these all are present in every other car now. I would prefer a brand new elantra which is almost in the same range with more features such as fully electric seats dual zone climate control wireless charging 2.0 engine n much more.

[@Bamwheels]

I think what people are finding fascinating is the fact that the fully loaded variant comes with 6 airbags. A fairly standard practice outside Pakistan (if you ask me) but a relatively new concept here (which again is not saying much). I agree, Elantra at the same price is probably a better buy any day.

[@mirzajawad3963]

Is me bohat sy option grandi or civic sy zayada ha. safety​ first

[@Bamwheels]

Agreed. I guess, at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference and choice.

This car is for who need safety and features your swift is used & doesnt have that much features yaris is teen dabba

[@ghazankhan2755]

Omar Bhai just rubbing it not a SUV , atleast review the car that is in front of you

[@onlyparadise]

Toyota Raize is 5 million+ having similar dimension and features.

[@Bamwheels]

yep, however Raize is JDM while Stonic is a CKD variant. Big difference in build quality.

[@hustlegrind2642]

Price should have been under 30 lakhs to eat out Yaris and City market.

[@Bamwheels]

Swift is same size and offers a lot of goodies (except for sunroof) compared to Yaris & City & is priced under 30 lac, lets see how it performs

Its a joke at this price.. just a raised up hatchback.. at this price Grande offers lot more power and comfort
