KIA STONIC

-



Kia Motors India is planning to dominate the Indian market by launching 3 new models in this Fiscal Year. Upcoming Cars from Kia in India 2020 are KIA STONIC, KIA SONET and KIA RIO. From this list, Kia Motors is planning to launch the KIA STONIC a compact SUV in June 2020 although confirmation has not arrived yet. According to KIA, Stonic is a portmanteau word means speedy and refreshing. Kia Stonic is successfully running in Europe and his first design was showcased in Frankfurt Motor Show 2017 and the car was displayed in India in Auto Expo 2018. After getting huge sales figure of more than 1.1 million in European markets they are expecting the same result from India market, will they succeed? Let’s find here.

  INTERIOR

The interior of the car exhibits the premium quality and KIA can launch the same premium feels in India with little tweaks. Basically, the front cabin is quite similar to KIA RIO Supermini which is conducting the successful run along with Stonic in European market. The plastic material is used which is a bit scratchy, although front seats are comfy. Keeping in mind the average height of Indian people, this car is comfortable for 4 people as the rear space is low. Integrated 7” inch touch screen comes with a clear navigation system; parking sensor and your smartphone can be connected with the car through Apple Car Play & Android Auto. Even with a good setup, the car does not have any unique piece to impress us.

EXTERIOR

The car comes with lots of colour combinations like Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The KIA has tried to give funky square-ish design with sporty alloy wheels to the car in their South Korean studios and looking to the car, it is safe to say they got quite a success. The front is well built with their iconic ‘Tiger’ grille and sleek handlamps. The front part of the car looks marvellous from top to bottom. Rear-end of the car looks like mini SUV with neat details and the bottom rear end looks alike TATA HBX MICRO SUV. Unlike the other cars Stonic ‘Targa-style’ roof design that gives you the freedom to choose different from other colour options. The car comes in Standard 17-inch alloy wheels in Europe which is perfect for there, a slight difference will be there for Indian Market.


ENGINE

It is expected that the car will come with multiple engines. In petrol, it is expected engine will be 1.25L generating just 84hp, 1.4L will give around 100hp and 1L turbo engine will shoot the power of 120hp. In diesel, the car may come with 1.6L Diesel engine which will generate around 110hp power. According to the sales figures 1.4L petrol is best suitable for Kia Stonic. As BS6 regulation implemented the company may drop the diesel engine and like Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors they focus only on petrol engine car.

RIVALS

  Probably all big players in India are competing at this price level. Some big rival car includes Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza ( price difference is there but the launch of car can affect the sale of Brezza), Honda WR-V, Tata Nexon, Renault Captur etc.
