Overview
The Kia Stonic is a subcompact crossover for city parking and short highway runs, assembled locally by Lucky Motor Corp. On the 2026 list the featured trim is EX+ at PKR 5,999,000 ex-factory; the lower EX sits as call-for-price. Freight, taxes, and registration sit on top. Booking is about 20% to Lucky Motor Corp, with delivery quoted around 1 month.
A naturally aspirated 1368 cc petrol four with a 6-speed automatic drives the front wheels. Peak output is 99 HP / 133 Nm — enough for daily traffic, not a sporty push. Claimed economy sits around 12–16 km/l, with a 45 L tank and a 352 L boot behind five seats.
Exterior
Tiger-nose grille, LED projection headlamps on EX+, fog lamps, and 16-inch alloys set the stance. Overall size is 4140 × 1760 × 1500 mm on a 2580 mm wheelbase with 165 mm clearance. Roof rails, a rear spoiler, and heated retractable mirrors round out the package. Five colours cover Cherry Black, Clear White, Mercury Blue, Panthera Metal, and Sparkling Silver.
Interior
The cabin is compact-crossover practical: fabric seats, a flat-bottom D-shaped wheel on EX+, and a 40:60 split rear bench. Boot space is 352 L — fine for weekly shopping, tight for big holiday bags. Yellow contrast stitching and an electrochromic mirror give EX+ a sportier feel than a plain hatch.
Infotainment
An 8-inch floating touchscreen handles Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, Bluetooth multi-connection, and a 6-speaker setup. Steering switches cover audio and cruise; USB ports sit up front and for the rear row.
Engine / driving
Both grades share the same 1.4-litre MPI petrol, FWD, and 6AT. Listed top speed is 220 km/h. Stability management, traction control, and hill-start assist help on wet city climbs. Steering is light for parking but not the sharpest in the class when you push on open roads.
Safety
EX+ packs 6 airbags, ABS/EBD, tyre-pressure monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear camera — a strong kit for a subcompact at this price.
Mileage
PakWheels lists about 12 km/l in the city and 16 km/l on the highway. Real figures swing with AC load and traffic. The 45 L tank covers typical Islamabad–Lahore hops without constant top-ups.
Variants
EX+ at PKR 5,999,000 is the priced Pakistan trim with sunroof, push start, cruise, LED lamps, and 16-inch alloys. EX remains call-for-price with a simpler lamp and wheel package.
