In terms of reliability, this one has more outside casa support than the raize. Because the kappa engine of this car was used for the accent,rio, soluto and reina. So engine is well tested.
it wasn't emphasized enough in this vid but the best thing about stonic is it's not a CVT! raize, gx3 pro, etc are CVT. which brings us back to your question, what makes a car a crossover? IMHO it needs to have some ground clearance, roof load capacity, and some towing capacity. i wouldn't hesitate to tow a dirt bike w/ the stonic coz it has a conventional a/t, i probably wouldn't w/ the raize coz you'll probably destroy the CVT. so stonic is a real crossover. raize is just a raized hatchback
The moment I saw the interior, immediately I realise the "Style" edition is just the LX variant with a body kit. The aircon knobs gave it away. KIA found an ingenious way to sell the lower variants.
Our almost car, really stylish. But we went with Raize G variant because of its add on features. I would say it’s still worth considering the Stonic. Thanks for this review because 2 months ago I ran out of review videos to watch regarding this car 😅
Here in the Philippines, you can take it anywhere for long drive. Even smaller cars can do that. It is economical. With the right baggage weight and number of passengers, I think there is no problem to take long journey. Some do purchase a cross-over or smaller SUV because not only of its versatility but it is the most affordable type of vehicle they can purchase sans sedans or used cars
Been waiting for this bro, Roy. Been checking the Stonic out for a while now. Actually, I am torn between the Honda Brio RS and this Stonic LX AT/Style Edition. I am a Honda fan since the SIR days and have been dreaming of owning a Honda but the Kia Stonic is kind of a bang for the buck due to its price for a subcompact crossover.
This looks good. I like this car. However, what I just don't like in this Stonic regardless of variant, the reverse light is only one and is located at the lower right bumper which I find it not good for safety? Idk. Just felt weird.
Kaya nga we have LX AT variant, sabi nung kakilala kong driver, “pundi na yung isang reverse light mo” tinamad ako mag explain kaya ang sabi ko nalang “ganyan talaga yan”😅😅
Cons: Mahina ng konte sa paahon kasi FWD pero kaya naman, medyo mahatak sa gas tapos sa aftersale, consider na sa mabait at mapagkakatiwalaang agent kukuhain.
para sa akin hindi sya ganun ka fuel efficient dahil nakakakuha lang ako arounf 5-6km/L. pero sa XL7 ko naka 10-11 km/L ako same route lang cainta-bgc.
true, malakas sya sa gas tapus malambot body konting diin lang lubog agad, tapus totoong yung sa side nya pag natapakan mo barag agad. ill stick with Japanese's cars
Wait, kailangan ko tong sagutin based on our real life experience with our LX AT stonic, nadamay sa multiple collision ang partner ko sa may Barkadahan (since taga cainta ka siguro familiar din kayo sa floodway) ito ang pagkakasunod sunod ng sasakyan, mini bus (byaheng megamall), delivery truck (closed van type), vios, kia soluto then yung amin pinaka last kia stonic, yupi yung unahan ni kia soluto pero yung likuran namin may gas gas lang na suppppeerrrr liit as in, nag taka din kami pareho nung may ari ng soluto, btw sa plastic sa bottom part tumama, (sorry di ko alam proper term doon) pero ayun na nga and also may tuldok na part na natanggal na kalawang as in parang dot lang ng pentel pen. So ayun. Hopefully last na accident na iyon praying for safety ng lahat.
Tiggo 2 pro has slightly better figures in hp and torque and much cheaper by 100k compared to stonic style. Looks? It's subjective but I Iike the look of tiggo 2 pro. Reliability? Kia has an edge but Chery offers the best warranty package in the market.
If your bias to kia this is a good city/daily driver, but if your not brand concious there are better options ( Tiggo 2 pro, tiggo 5x at, raize, mg zs )
