There will be five versions at launch, available at Wilsons of Rathkenny based on two trim grades (‘2’ and ‘First Edition’) and three powertrains. All models have a six-speed manual gearbox and feature ISG - Kia's intelligent engine stop/start system which prevents fuel from being wasted and CO2 from being pumped into the air when the car is stationary.
Pricing for the new Stonic, available at Wilsons of Rathkenny from October will start from £16,295 for the 1.4-litre petrol grade ‘2’, rising to £20,495 for the ‘First Edition’ 1.6 CRDi diesel.

All versions are generously equipped with an extensive range of active safety features.
