    Previously, the MY24 Stonic S was priced from $22,290 before on-roads for the non-turbo 1.4-litre petrol with six-speed manual, and $23,790 for the optional six-speed auto – driving up the base price by $1670 to $3170.

    Safety

    The Kia Stonic was awarded a five-star safety rating from ANCAP in 2017, based on testing of the now-defunct Rio upon which it’s based.

    However, its safety rating is due to expire in 2025. It’s not yet clear whether it’ll be retested due to the recent upgrades.

    Under the assessment criteria at the time, the Stonic scored an overall score of 35.52 out of 37, losing points primarily on frontal offset and pedestrian protection.
