The actual fuel consumption of the Kia Stonic automatic is 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are the specific details of the Kia Stonic: 1. Exterior: The Kia Stonic adopts Kia's latest family-style tiger-nose front grille, with chrome elements added inside for decoration, paired with a large trapezoidal air intake below. On the side of the body, the Kia Stonic uses a two-tone body design technique and features a dual waistline design. 2. Body dimensions: The new Kia Stonic measures 4100/1735/1503 (1533 with roof rack) mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2570 mm. 3. Powertrain: The Stonic is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power outputs of 95 horsepower (69.9 kW) and 100 horsepower (73.6 kW) depending on the tuning, mated to a 5-speed manual or 6AT transmission.
I've been driving the automatic Kia Stonic for almost two years now. In city traffic with frequent congestion, the fuel consumption is around 7.5 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. It becomes much more economical on highways, dropping to about 5 liters. Overall, the average consumption fluctuates around 6.5 liters. This compact SUV comes with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth but not particularly powerful performance, with fuel efficiency being its strong point. My daily commute is about 10 kilometers, and one tank of gas lasts me a week, which feels quite economical compared to some of my colleagues' domestic brand cars that consume significantly more. I recommend avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking, and note that using cruise control with air conditioning will slightly increase fuel consumption. But if you're not chasing speed, the Stonic is a really reliable choice for a commuter car.
As a daily driver of the Kia Stonic automatic transmission, I've noticed the actual fuel consumption is slightly higher than the official figures. The official combined rate is 6.3L/100km, but in real-world conditions, urban driving averages just over 7L, while highway driving stabilizes around 5.5L. The car's light weight and well-optimized engine help, just avoid aggressive throttle inputs when starting off. Using AC or during cold starts adds about 0.5L to consumption. Over time, this translates to saving over 100 yuan monthly on fuel - especially practical for my family with multiple kids and frequent car use. Avoiding sudden acceleration and minimizing frequent stops can save significant money.
