India is a one of the fastest growing Mid -SUV market globally , Last year, the mid-SUV segment sold around 350,000 units. In 2021, forecast shows around 650,000 units to be sold which is double. Hence room for new crossovers are always open . KIA has already conformed that a sports utility vehicle based on the SP Concept will be first on launch , which will be pitted against the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster.

Size-wise, the Stonic is not a sub 4 meter compact SUVs . At 4,140mm in length, it is longer than  Renault Captur by 18 mm , and has a bigger wheelbase (2,580mm), but is narrower than  Renault Captur by 10 mm , and at 1,520mm, it’s only about as tall as a Maruti Baleno. Boot space is at 352 litres. To give you some perspective, the Nexon has a 350-litre boot, while the EcoSport has a 341-litre boot while the capture has a boot space of 377 liters .

The Stonic is offered with a range of engines ,that is a 120hp, 1.0-litre T-GDI petrol; an 84hp, 1.2-litre petrol; a 100hp, 1.4-litre petrol; and a 110hp, 1.6-litre diesel unit. Gearbox options include a five- and six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.  the model is expected to remain front-wheel-drive only.

Features on the Kia stonic 

  • Auto climate control
  • 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
  • Reverse camera
  • Steering-mounted controls
  • Cruise control
  • Heated front seats
  • Six-speaker music system.
  • Kia is also known for its superior warranty packages: in the USA, for instance, it offers a 10-year/1,60,000-km warranty on its cars. It remains to be seen if Kia offers such comprehensive warranties in our market.
  • Front, side and curtain airbags
  • ABS, Electronic Stability Control
  • Hill start assist
  • Tyre pressure monitoring system
  • Autonomous emergency braking
  • lane departure warning system
  • Blind spot detection, among others

Kia is evaluating the Stonic for India, along with the Grand carnival MPV. If Kia does bring the Stonic to India, it will go against the likes of  Renault Captur . If Kia is able to price it in the range of 10 to 15 lakhs in India . it will be super hit for India .
