The 2021 Kia Stonic is a new offering in the super-small SUV class, competing alongside favourites like the Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross and the Skoda Kamiq. The Stonic is available in a desirable turbo GT-Line spec that we’ve already reviewed, but what is life like at the very other end of the Stonic range? Today, Ponch finds out, with a detailed review of the 2021 Stonic S manual.

The Stonic uses a 1.4-litre petrol four-cylinder engine and, despite the SUV styling and plastic cladding, is heavily based on the Rio hatchback which is quite a lot cheaper.
