Kia UK has officially announced pricing and full specifications for the refreshed Kia Stonic. Order books are now open from 1 October 2025, with first customer deliveries expected later in Q4 2025. This significant update represents the Stonic’s second major refresh since launch, bringing a bolder look, new technology, and simplified trim levels.
Major Design & Tech Overhaul for 2025
The Kia Stonic first received a light facelift in 2020, introducing the sporty GT-Line and GT-Line S trims. Five years later, the popular B-segment crossover receives a comprehensive redesign inside and out, aligning its styling with Kia’s latest petrol and EV models such as the Picanto and Sportage.
The cabin benefits from new digital displays, enhanced connectivity, and improved driver assistance systems — helping the Stonic remain competitive in the increasingly crowded small crossover segment.
