2 Answers
The Kia Stonic is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power output of 73.6 kW (100 horsepower) at 6,300 rpm and a peak torque of 132.4 Nm at 4,000 rpm. In terms of exterior design, the Stonic features Kia's signature 'Tiger Nose' front grille with chrome accents, complemented by a large trapezoidal lower air intake. The vehicle measures 4,100 mm in length, 1,735 mm in width, and 1,503 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,570 mm.
I've been driving the Kia Stonic for several years, equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated gasoline engine delivering around 100 horsepower, which is quite suitable for city driving. The acceleration is smooth and linear without sudden surges, and the noise level is almost inaudible. In terms of fuel consumption, daily commuting averages about 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to last several hundred kilometers—both economical and practical. Compared to turbocharged engines, this one is simpler to maintain; an oil change costs just around a hundred yuan, with regular checks on spark plugs and air filters being sufficient. Reliability has been good, with my friend's car experiencing few issues. On highways, the power feels slightly lacking, but it's more than adequate for urban areas. Overall, it matches well with the compact size, offering comfortable driving and suiting budget-conscious pragmatists. I chose it mainly for its fuel efficiency, low maintenance, and long engine lifespan.
