Kia UK has announced pricing and specifications for the new Kia Stonic, the brand’s popular B-segment crossover. Order books for the heavily updated model open today (1 October 2025), with first customer deliveries commencing later in Q4 2025.

In 2025, the new Stonic has undergone a significant second update. It first received a mild facelift in 2020, along with the introduction of ‘GT-Line’ and ‘GT-Line S’ grades for the first time. This second update sees the Stonic receive a major exterior and interior redesign, bringing it in line with Kia’s latest electric and petrol models. It also brings plenty of technological enhancements with it, introducing new technologies to the small car segment.

The new Stonic range starts from just £21,795 in the UK, making it one of the most affordable entry points to the Kia line-up in the UK, second only to the Picanto.

With each variant equipped with a wide range of features, the Kia Stonic buying process is as simple and understandable as possible. The only ‘optional extra’ is premium paint.
