New 2018 Kia Stonic - makes a joke of the Juke?

[@tacosr]

I love the voting thing! Not many channels do that

[@walteristic152002]

TacoSeniour I really like it too!

[@cristicristi2668]

it's a survey under the false name of vote

[@brandonpollard8928]

TacoSeniour yeah me too I say Kona BUT.... the interior is way better on the Stonic..killer actually but I will say Hyundai stay true to their look and evolution

[@dimitris.p.kepenos]

KIA is getting better with every year it pass.

[@essel23fly]

Kia is just killing it with their designs, way better than Hyundai

[@davidhayes4814]

The extra little bit of height in small SUVs is quite practical. Getting my old Mum into this height of vehicle is 10 times easier, than a low hatchback.

[@phalanx5484]

Looks like a mini sportage from the rear, i love it

[@sbomorse]

This is so much better looking than the Kona. The rear especially looks brilliant.

[@adrianfibiger7618]

when are you reviewing the mazda cx5?

[@miskatonic6210]

MrMakosi *rofl* Yes, Mazda is a very nice brand, but compared to german brands you have to live with very, very few options to chose from. Especially when it comes to colors. And their navigation system is very basic, too.

[@GeorgeX.]

He owns an MX5

[@carwow]

Sirion who needs a big choice of colours when you can have Soul Red 😍

[@adrianfibiger7618]

Sirion yeah, but it drives great, looks awesome and is a solid alternative

[@andrejdzalbo]

Price on Stonic in my country is very pleasant.. I'm getting a 1.0 top trim Stonic with everything they provide, with full leather interior and metallic brown color for 19800€. I think it's a reasonable price for such car with 7y warranty. What do you think?

[@shroomyesc]

I think this is a really good extension to the Kia range, as it fits as an alternative to the C'eed if you want a slightly different style hatchback.

[@charllloyd4121]

The Nissan Juke made a joke of the Nissan Juke...

[@joshuapotter7695]

The headlights remind me more of the Picanto and the rear lights look more like the Sportage's than the Rio's in my opinion.

[@mrsmith5846]

Is that a good thing?

[@joshuapotter7695]

It is, I just think that it's a bit strange of Kia to base the Stonic on the Rio and not take some more defining features from that car.

[@mrsmith5846]

Exactly. And its not like this car has an excellent choice of engines either

[@TravMenace]

well it's the same as the Hyundai Kona being based on the i20 and looking nothing like it

[@joelbielecki3501]

i think it should've been the KIA Kona and the HYUNDAI Stonic. this actually really bothers me.

[@GeorgeX.]

Sounds better when you repeat it again and again.

[@mrknowmyself]

Hahahha as a Korean this is cool and funny

[@themagicrat8803]

My wife drives a Kia Soul (Key Arsehole)

[@OFAPOS]

Question: Since I live in the United States, will the Stonic and Kona arrive here?

[@joshbacon8241]

The Kona is sold in the US, but not the Stonic.

[@stew_9657]

When I'm in highschool I might get The Kona one or KIA But I like Kona

[@senseihEnRY16]

looks really good in my opinion, except for Niro, i love the look of all KIA's modern car. It might not as striking as Toyota CH-R or Mazda CX-3 but it definitely look better than Nissan Juke, Honda HRV, Hyundai Kona, Citroen Cactus, or Citroen C3 Aircross

[@weaponofmassconstruction1940]

I had a DIG-T Juke which was a lot of fun, I don't think this think will have an equally powerful engine so it wouldn't interest me.

[@beautyofnature4890]

is kia stonic automatic gear box ?

[@Arkosis]

Don't hate on me but I kinda like the Hyundai Kona better.......

[@warsboerse5866]

I don't hate you.

[@davidthompson4346]

The Kona is definitely more interesting, which is odd because it's usually the Kia's versions that have more daring designs.

[@mariolosberg4257]

Of course becuase kona is copy paste of Citroen c3 and Mazda cx3 design ...

[@poke696]

Mario Losberg i thought the same at the first look, but if u keep looking at the design it feels very different. I kinda feel Hyundai came up with a interesting design, Kona dies have its originality

[@rodpanhard]

I don't get all the hate for the KOna, it looks no worse than all th eother similar cars in it's class and it's cheaper than most.

[@stockey]

Stonic is classier, Kona is more aggressive.

[@mariolosberg4257]

and Seat arona is best looking...

[@NikesZ28]

They should have made a Rio GT. Always wished the Rio had a bigger engine choice.

[@SiardHoutstra]

Is here a possibility for a head2head episode with the Seat Leon ST, Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer and Ford Focus Stationwagon?

[@shroomyesc]

I support this idea

[@sahiljadhav1442]

Hi mat Watson Ur reviews are really awesome

[@StephenButlerOne]

Outs side looks good, Hyundai better imo, but the inside looks old and cheap before release. Pergeot seem to have the best package in this class. Nice out, and great inside.

[@Birdie_]

Doesn't look bad at all.

[@oxcart4172]

They both look better than the Juke (but so did the Austin Allegro!)

[@jaykelz1528]

Can't wait until you review the Kia Stinger GT!

[@iphonemanYT]

Please never stop making videos Mat

[@longtailgt]

It makes the Juke look beautiful

[@manishschauhan7207]

When it will be launched? & in India too?

[@seunghkim7]

Does Juke sell that well? Constantly says 'an answer to juke.' or 'takes on the Juke.' This car looks much more balanced in proportion

[@chakawhyte5753]

I like the look of it. I think Korean cars are getting better and better and I think they will soon surpass (in terms of numbers sold and desirability) the likes of SEAT, Fiat, Citroen, and Vauxhall, in the UK at least.

[@azera55555]

Wonder if this will have a hybrid and electric version like the Kona

[@sparkss4]

Very nice, much more elegant than the Kona. Too bad their gas engines are so sluggish.

[@eugeneoconnellniceplace1287]

Kia a grate car i had 3 i am geting a new one soon

[@evan6036]

I dont think it'll ever make a joke out of the juke, it's too iconic and started it all. yes it may be better, but the juke was first

[@shroomyesc]

Wouldn't be hard to beat the juke though considering no-one buys it

[@daygon128]

And to think I was made fun of back in the day for owning a Pontiac Aztek...

[@x3merx3mer]

Kia used to be ahead of Hyundai with PREVIOUS Sportage, Optima,.. now Hyundai easily beats them with Tucson, Kona,.. the only remaining good looking Kia is Ceed imo

[@adam145]

1.2 petrol engine in a car of this size is just stupid. I thought that a VW Polo with 120HP (or 122, don't remember) was sluggish at higher speeds, I don't even want to see what will happen with this one.

[@miskatonic6210]

Adam K This isn't build for higher speeds, moron. This as well as a Polo are mainly city cars.

[@adam145]

Yeah but if you need to go a longer distance or get on a freeway (which are 140km/h in my country) then you're left with a car that won't do really well.

[@michaelhansen2309]

Rubbish, I tried the Peugeot 3008 with the 1.2 turbo petrol not long ago on the motorway and it had plenty of power. These new small turbo engines are just fine. Same with the new Civic 1.0, the only thing there is that it looses its turbo boost faster, but it's also just fine at higher speeds.

[@chinesesparrows]

Ahaha sounds a fan of old american cars with their 6 liter engines creating 200 hp... hp, torque and weight matter not engine size

[@gypsyemperor7535]

looks cool, 7 year warranty, loads of equipment.... just needs the bigger 1.6 petrol turbo.

[@manishschauhan7207]

Kia is coming to India in 2018. Can we expect its launch in India too?

[@mendistudio]

Everything in its right place. Not too exciting but I'm sure it will sell well.

[@sarudedandorm1452]

Kia and Peugeot looks more expensive than what you actually pay. And not overstyled.

[@mikejward626]

Terrible engine choices ruin it. Stick in a turbo 1.4 and 2.0 petrols and it will be a contender. For now I'll be looking at the new skoda karoq

[@mrsmith5846]

But skoda is owned by the mighty Germans. Kia is owned by the gangam style

[@stuartcraigon2003]

love it. Much much better than the Hyundai and anything out of France. Well done Kia.

[@billyfury2608]

Looks better than the Kona. But no AWD miserable choice of engines & no auto box ? Has this been done intentionally so as to not eclipse the sister companies Kona ? Very odd.

[@thespector8587]

this looks far better than the Nissan juke and Hyundai whateveritsnamewas

[@MrAndrew1953]

Same car since Hyundai own Kia. Still think the Kona is the better looking version- 23% are right, the rest are wrong.

[@jdp155ms]

@carwow.. please do a review of the mazda6 .....pleaseeee

[@eugeneoconnellniceplace1287]

Kia best car in the wourld

[@петърйорданов-й8г]

love huyndai kona!!!

[@alexandergoldman]

I think this is one of the best looking vehicles in its class...better than Hyundai and destroys the Juke (Joke + Puke = Juke...one of the WORST LOOKING VEHICLES on the road today)

[@Somewhatblank]

Its hilarious that car makers still go after the outdated juke.

[@jadenroberts8115]

The Juke makes a joke of itself

[@d0718]

A car which shouts that you're not interested in cars

[@UltraJaff]

This car is a large RIO Kia X Rio Kia Rio Kia stonic If Kia named the X Ceed the sport space after the concept

[@bocckoka]

I bet you invented 'solubrious' right now.

[@namelessman6426]

sportage ?

[@wonjung3333]

it looks like kia soul and sportage

[@awkrb]

the stonic is funky but not ugly and on the other hand the Kona is just fugly

[@MarcXW]

To be honest though, I think the Juke makes a joke of the Juke...

[@radudeATL]

Salubrious? Did I spell it right? I don't see a red squiggly line...

[@JASONKENTJANA]

anyone feel that Hyundai's headlights looks like a jeep cherokee?

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

Yeah

[@Sayua-chan]

What I see is what Sssssanggyuououyng Tivoli should look like :D

[@4N50N]

what is it with all this small SUV trend i just dont get it??

[@ronaldramos8339]

All looking good

[@countryoftugas6204]

why not kia kona

[@cesarcastillo2405]

I think it should have been the other way around. This looks more like something Hyundai would make. I like the Hyundai better

[@vicoboi]

Is the car good?

[@maneskinkeesje5765]

We drive one and yes it is

[@hasifaiman]

The end looks a bit like the Kia Sportage.. Hate when manufacturers reusing old parts

[@lucamarcspieletv]

its for giving the brand a "face". They can't use Sportage Parts since they are much bigger.

[@mrsmith5846]

Do the old parts still carry the full warranty? I mean old parts do have a shelf life.

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

The Skoda Karoq seems to be a better alternative for some. It looks better too in my opinion. :)

[@dschonsie]

ThinkCleverAndSmart the skoda is way larger

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Both are compact SUVs. As we don't yet know the dimensions of the Kia Stonic, I can't say which is larger. They should both be in the same segment tho.

[@runnyeggyolk6347]

The Skoda Kodiaq is a large 7 seater, this is based on a Kia Rio and is meant to go against the Nissan Juke. Are you fucking kidding me?

[@scottsherman7069]

Jesus Christ He isn't talking about the Kodiaq...

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

I'm galning about the Karoq, not Kodiaq. Karoq is replacing the yeti. :)

[@beautyofnature4890]

looks good

[@yordanyordanov8085]

Wont you guys make a real review the new stonic :/

[@Conrad_Verner]

You can't beat the juke

[@lucamarcspieletv]

Joel Robson Robson Robson Robson *when it comes to being ugly*

[@Conrad_Verner]

LucaChillMusic woah! Okay fine, the juke is like marmite I know 😅

[@MrTronCreeper]

love kona

[@aurelios69]

The juke is already a joke. Way before the Stonic reveal

[@carlosandleon]

hyundai and kia are sister conpanies

[@yudhabagaskara98]

kia niro is on size of cx3 but it's a hyvbrid

[@mrsmith5846]

Which is better do you think?

[@diekip]

Kona looks better but not in that color

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

The new Hyundai KONA had to be named differently for the Portuguese market because of the meaning of the word Kona or rather the pronunciation. I'm sorry but the word means c-u-n-t.

[@BongBun66]

Best than kona

[@thegamingmaster4734]

Still I would have the JUKE unlike the stone 😃😃😃 isn't that a joke Mat

[@Lord-Brett-Sinclair]

Straight away, the shiny plastic looks cheap and brittle.

[@72tubedmiaz]

Awd or nothing, by Felicia!

[@humzaaamir482]

Stonic sounds like talcum powder

[@mandypotts7418]

Kia best

[@naderachkar1231]

just if it was AWD...!!!!

[@siddheshgandhi7668]

so this is a class below the Kona?

[@alvarortega2]

salubrious! there's a man bettering himself...

[@stonic6396]

Why ya people stole my name

[@mariolosberg4257]

I'm not fan of kia but this car look's great... even better than kona, and comparittion with karoq...? škoda is sooo ugly... lol

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

Don't like wither of them.

[@petedavis8701]

Looks OK but "Stonic" who thought up that name

[@sam-ur8nj]

Kia 'stoned'

[@mrsmith5846]

+carwow: More like 'makes a joke like the Juke'

[@shehtazruslan]

the juke looks like garbage

[@mariolosberg4257]

and for example karoq is ugly as shit...lol

[@hiiiofficial8306]

It doesnt

[@orcaXO]

You could say you got "Stoned" ? Get it? No?

[@MrDan957]

I like big time

[@Matt_t919]

review a Corvette

[@mrsmith5846]

Yes the Z06

[@BlitzkriegRap]

Is the Corvette even being sold in Europe?

[@miskatonic6210]

Loy Regacy Nobody needs reviews of this US garbage that doesn't sell in the rest of the world.

[@mpijaca]

0:12 "fuckin' crossover shape" ?? hahah that's what I hear 😄

[@wanganarmy]

mpijaca "FUNKY"

[@mpijaca]
