Another great review . Hope to see the Kia stinger next !
I was actually reading the review till i saw a this youtube review regards kia stonic!! And now!! U are making to get one :) a nice review!! Thank you so much syed..
Hey nice review. A break of all sport cars these few weeks. Do abt kia stinger
absolutely spot on about resting your arms on the centre console . thought it was just me lol
Great video! Feels very comfortable with your style of reviews. Like the vibe of it. Please do make a Toyota - Raize review soon !!
Yes definitely ! been trying to get the car for a review
Thanks for the Stonic review. And I agree that putting DCT into a light SUV is not what the average consumer would need. from Melbourne.
Thanks nice review
Love that car... it is my dream car 💥💥🔥
Good review keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do :)
Great video and very informative. How is the fuel consumption like?
My stonic sx coming during feb bro haha anyway great video. Can’t wait for my stonic 😂
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the car :)
Nice content! Please review Mazda 3
Impressed by ur video. Waiting for its launch in india..
hi bro ! request that you do a review on a Volkswagen Scirocco!
Nice review
Thank you ! 🙏
thoughts on whether to go for the EX or SX trim?
Love your videos bro pls do a civic type r review next
which gen? 😆
When it will be launch in india plz confirm the date
Nice review. How is the FC ?
I averaged about 11-13 km/l with this car when driving in the city and occasionally driving fast 😅
Kia uses a DCT probably because it can get more out of the small 1L turbo engine?
i like this car. good size, nice interior, and u are right the engine response is quite good .. only problem is the looks i think mazda cx-3 is nicer
u mean cx-30?
Pls do the new mhev versions.. cheers
Nice review bro Syed!👍 Im still waiting for the stinger review. 😊✌
I’m also waiting to get my hands on a Stinger 😩
Car Life Singapore lol
Hello Syed, how do you feel about sound insulation? Does the car take in many outside noise? TIA
Hey you can refer to this POV drive video. I don’t rmb too much NVH on this car other than the engine vibration at idle. th-cam.com/video/RdG0lpZaibw/w-d-xo.html
How is the Stonic compared to the Suzuki Swift 1.0A turbo in term of the performance? Can do a review on the Suzuki Swift 1.0A turbo? Thanks
If I get the chance to drive the turbo swift 👍🏻
Will you feel the vibration while idling? Because 3cyl is known for the vibrations
Yes you can, I also mentioned this at about 11:06 👍
CVVD Engine?
Drove my friend’s stonic and it’s a blast! Also very good value for the price . Wonder why there aren’t more on sg roads
i think it's the looks. not that great looking and looks more like a hatchback vs a crossover
justanotherT R pricing
NobleStar Lion I would go for Hyundai or Kia because of European looks and gadgets they offer...
Who wish to get kill in action except stinger maybe.
would you have gotten this or suzuki swift 1.0L boosterjet? both are 1.0L turbo and priced quite closely...
Haven’t tried the new swift so I can’t say sorry. All else being equal, this is branded as a small SUV whereas the swift is a small hatchback 👍🏻
Does the DCT engine heat up during traffic jam if I creep forward?
Hey, I’ve heard about that issue. But there aren’t too many reports on overheating right now so I can’t be sure
Drove this and I would say, I liked the power. I got a feeling that Kia was being a little conservative of the acceleration timing - quoted as 10.6 seconds. Some guy in a manual Stonic with the same engine and 17-inch wheels did it in 10.0 seconds (he was shifting a little slowly). The DCT should be faster than the manual. Another video showed a DCT Stonic, stock, accelerating to 100 in 8.8 seconds (in that video, the ambient temperature was low - hence, in Singapore I would say that the 1.0 base model with 15 inch tires is easily a sub 10-second car to 100). Excellent performance for the price.
Excellent review!
The reason why DCT is also in a Stonic is it saves fuel as well according to Kia if you Google,other than performance wise-DCT is also known to be fuel economical according to Kia. Thanks for reviewing the Kia Stonic in 🇸🇬’s context! Perhaps review the Kia Seltos next?
Thanks 😊 CVTs are also efficient and optimal in getting power out of a small engine which was why I’m curious. Performance is not the key selling point of this car either.. but it’s interesting that Kia still went ahead with a DCT in this. No complaints though ✌️
Car Life Singapore Agree that CVTs are also optimal and efficient in getting power out of a small engine but in Kia Motor parts bin-DCTs then were readily available and it does not make sense economically for Kia to develop a whole new gearbox just for Stonic-therefore my take is Kia readily used the DCTs applied to numerous models in their line-up. If it were a CVT-I would have re-considered getting other ride...😅.
My english is not good but i have a question .Is this car more expensive than Kia Rio x-line or Volkswagen Polo in your country?
i dont think we have the Kia Rio anymore. yes its much cheaper than the polo in sg
I dont know why only now Kia is selling this globally.. it was long time since it was introduced..
Close to 100k for this car 😵😳
what??? $82k Sgd?? that's around 2mill plus here in PH hahaha, then another $25 tax per year?? you might be so damn rich my friend owning one there, hehe actually, I'm on the waiting list for the base model which just cost me around $19k Sgd with roof rails, hahaha were so lucky here in PH, got NA engine though but no problem with that, but mainly reason driving around SG from point A to B roads seems a legal holiday here in PH hahaha, love to go back in SG sometime next year for the F1. nice vlogs btw.
Thanks but i do suggest you watch Carwow review and lean from it.
E.g. he would put a luggage at the boot to show the space and sit 3 adult at rear to check the comfortable. Fyi
Thank you for the suggestion 😊 we can explore that in future videos
When ypibsay 90,000$, are you talking about USA dolars??
Its Singapore Dollar my friend.
I think i saw u I’m a Subaru Forester xt wearing a red shirt and glasses in near amk hub taxi stand
Any japanese cars with similar pricing?
Suzuki Swift, Honda Jazz , Hyundai Accent (Korean) , Mazda 2, Toyota Vios
opel astra pls
Didn’t get to test the speakers during test drive when u say the speakers quite good do you mean that I can still hear those power power base when listening to rnb? Like those boom boom boom 😂
Oh I meant that the audio quality for a stock system in a relatively cheap car - it’s good , it was clear and I couldn’t hear much “noise” from the background. Either that or the reception that day was very good 😂
@@CarLifeSG hahaha thanks for the update 😊 hope there is still the bass bass quality there hahahah
idk why Malaysia don't have this model ~
Mazda cx 30 beats kia stonic for me, not a bad car though, but no new technology. Hyundai Tucson is very futuristic, compact Suvs better start following their trends.
This or Honda Jazz for a first car?
for me it would be a honda jazz - its cheaper, has a good reliability track record, simpler, easier to maintain and slightly smaller i believe. but if you want abit more power and a more fun drive - stonic is good :)

Never thought cheap car and singapore is allowed to be in the same senctence
Hmm I can't concentrate on the review, I keep seeing you as Tony Jaa.
Its price is not cheap 4800000 RS in India we can purchase luxury sedans in this price
"Can I advise you something?"
Yes Rosmah ?
1L car leh. 11-13m/L?! That's horrible . They claim 5.9L/100km you know. Terrible terrible
The downside of this video is the annoying background music
Oops! Will take note of that
what you say is wrong, fuel consumption is very high, not a good point of this car, I have this car, in city traffic is 10 litres for 100 km. It burns fuel like a 2.0 !
Why DCT? Because Hyundai/Kia have only that automatic transmission type!
Hi, you got 10km/l in city traffic. I was getting 11-13 in a mix of highway and city driving. Also, FC is affected by many factor such as weight, tire size, driving style, driving conditions etc. Which could be different from yours.
There are different types of automatics, DCT being one of them. Just because cars in sg typically come with automatics doesn’t mean they come with autos in other markets 😊
Very freaking cheap :) can buy 4 better cars in australia kangaroos bangers already :) wonderful brillant marvelous bravo simply cheapest
who needs a car in singapore?a pint size country with efficient transport system..my province in the philippines is bigger.but with our transport system what we need is cars that is built for war..
This is a SUV. Small Unusable Vehicle. Just an opinion.
Why do u say that?
@@CarLifeSG calling such a small hatchback a SUV without the real functionality of a SUV is simply misleading and inappropriate. Car itself not a problem - the marketing plot is.
