KIA Stonic. Israel. The people's car for every occasion. Review and test drive.
The Kia, or as they say in Israel, the Kaya Stonic, is a true people's car, pushing the Kia Rio out of the official dealership lineup in Israel. And not just the Rio. It significantly outsold all competitors.
But in 2022, it was especially popular among immigrants. Discounts on all trim levels confidently exceeded 25,000 shekels, with the car priced at just over 100,000.
In 2023, discounts for new Israelis were reduced, and prices for all new cars in Israel increased. Nevertheless, the Kia Stonic remains attractive! Plus, it has good insurance and exceptional liquidity on the used market.
Technically, it's the well-known Rio with a naturally aspirated 1.4-liter engine, 4 cylinders, and a simple automatic transmission. More advanced trim levels feature a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission. A good automatic transmission, at that. Clear and reliable. The liter is more economical and runs better. The 1.4 is more old-school and thirstier.
Service is simple and straightforward, and the dealership allows servicing not only at its branches but also at any authorized service center in Israel. You can save a little.
