The 2026 Kia Stonic gets a facelift with a more powerful 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine and 48V mild-hybrid system, boosting power to 88kW, improving fuel efficiency to 5.0L/100km, and reducing CO2 to 116g/km. It features a new "Opposites United" design, 25mm longer length, and 352L of boot space. Interior upgrades include dual 12.3-inch screens, new controls, USB-C ports, and a black interior with Clear White standard paint. Pricing starts at $28,180, up $2,020, with Sport and GT-Line trims adding Kia Connect and enhanced safety. The seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty remains, but ANCAP safety ratings are no longer available after the 2017 five-star rating expired.
