Stonic will be the most customisable Kia ever, inside and out.
Kia’s new B-segment crossover will be named ‘Stonic’. An eye-catching and compact crossover with European design flair, the Stonic is said to be inspired by the form and function of larger Kia SUVs.
A sweeping roofline and uniquely designed roof rack add a sporty look to the vehicle, and the new tail lamp graphics amplify Stonic’s young and futuristic appearance. The new design blends sharp horizontal lines with softer sculpted surfaces, and brings compact dimensions and a low centre of gravity to the class.
The European-designed cabin is said to mirror the exterior, with straight lines, smooth surfaces and geometric design forms.
Kia say the Stonic’s interior places technology and ergonomics at its heart, with smart packaging maximising space for all occupants, and a ‘floating’ HMI (human-machine interface) blending smartphone access with the car’s many functions.
The Kia Stonic will go on sale in Europe during the second half of 2017. There are currently no plans to bring the new model to New Zealand.
