Exterior dimensions: Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic: exterior dimension (length, width, height, wheelbase, ground clearance)

Subcompact SUVs are not meant to be large and spacious. In fact, their target audience is probably looking for a small and maneuverable city car with higher seating position. Both Kia Stonic and Hyundai Kona can provide just that. Their length of 164 and 165 inches (around 4,15 meters) guarantees to squeeze them into tightest parking spaces around shopping malls with no problems. For those who still think every inch or centimeter is important than Kona is a bit bigger than Stonic.

Interior dimensions: Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic: interior dimensions (legroom, head room, shoulder room)

Those few centimeters difference in the exterior measures is somehow mirrored into the interior dimensions. In most categories, Kona offers a bit more space (shoulder room front & rear, rear legroom), while Kia Stonic has more legroom front and headroom rear. On paper, these differences are really small and almost unnoticeable.

Kona vs Stonic luggage compartment

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic: luggage compartment/cargo volume

If you are going to choose between Kia Stonic and Hyundai Kona based only on the size of the trunk then we tell you that there is no difference. So whether find a different criterion or write down the names of both cars on two sheets of paper and simply draw a lucky prize winner.

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic engines

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic: engines (petrol, diesel, max power, max torque)

The first noticeable difference between Hyundai Kona and Kia Stonic in the engine range. They both offer petrol and diesel versions, but the engines in Hyundai Kona have more power and more max torque compared to the ones in Kia Stonic. A big plus for Kona here, undoubtedly.

In fact, the weakest Kona almost has more power than the most powerful Stonic.

Performance: Kona vs Stonic

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic: performance (top speed, acceleration 0-100 km/h, 0-62 mph)

Stronger engines, of course, are also reflected in better performance.

Therefore, Hyundai Kona achieves much higher top speed and reaches the speed of 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) much quicker than Stonic. Only if you choose the fastest Stonic and compete in a drag race against the slowest Kona, then you will win.

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic price

Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic: price comparison (USA, Germany, UK, France)

Kia has no plans to bring the Stonic to the United States, so the price comparison in the United States is not possible.

In Europe, base model Stonic is generally cheaper than base model Kona. Depending on the country, the difference can be actually over 25 percent. But there are also some countries, where the base model Kona is, in fact, cheaper than Stonic.

Final comparison: Kona or Stonic? Main differences.

Both Stonic and Kona are new and fresh models in the subcompact SUV world. Dimensionally, there are practically no differences. Maybe Kona is a little bit bigger. And we really mean a little bit. The luggage compartment is also practically the same.

We think the biggest advantage of Kona over Stonic is in its engines. More powerful engines are more attractive and can offer higher top speed and quicker acceleration. Especially if you live in the country where there is no difference in base model price.

    Hyundai Venue vs Kia Stonic

    Hyundai Venue Vs Kia Stonic: Exterior

    In terms of exterior, the Hyundai Venue is 4,040 mm x 1,770 mm x 1,565 mm in length, width, and height in terms of dimension. The crossover also comes fitted with a wheelbase of 2,520 mm and a ground clearance of 170 mm.

    Meanwhile, the corresponding Kia Stonic parameters are 4,100 mm x 1,735 mm x 1,532 mm, the wheelbase is 2,570 mm, and the ground clearance is 185 mm.

    Also, 1.117 kg is the Stonic’s weight. Else, at 1.232 kg, the Hyundai Venue is a little heavier than Stonic.

    In short, the Stonic seems to have more ample ground clearance, wheelbase, and higher overall weight. The Hyundai Venue looks taller and broader in return.

    

    Speaking of exterior features, halogen headlights and LED taillights are available in both models. Nevertheless, the Kia Stonic comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, and rails for the roof, while the Venue has only 15-inch wheels with an extra repeater.

    Hyundai Venue Vs Kia Stonic: Interior

    Overall, up to five individuals can accommodate any of these two Korean crossovers. The color gamut in the entire cabin is usually subject to dark colors.

    

    Moreover, the interior styling of the Stonic seems more angular than that of the Venue. The Kia Stonic is uniquely fitted with a flat-bottom steering wheel and has a default capacity of 352 liters in the storage compartment.

    The Venue has a steering wheel that is more typically rounded and has a much greater storage capacity — 355 liters. Owing to the ability to change tilt and glass easier, the Venue has greater steering power.

    

    One remarkable point about the Stonic EX, which the Hyundai Venue does not have, is the cruise control system. Nonetheless, Venue’s electric folding rearview mirror is available, but it does not exist on the Kia crossover.

    You could easily change both cars’ drivers’ seats. The power start button, 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB port, and 12-volt accessory socket are available on both items.

    Hyundai Venue Vs Kia Stonic: Performance & Engine

    With a 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder petrol engine using an automatic 6-speed torque converter type transmission, the Venue GL can produce 151 Nm of torque and 121 hp of maximum power.

    On the other side, the Kia is fitted with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) and a four-cylinder, 1.4-liter inline petrol engine that can generate 132 Nm torque and up to 97 hp of power.

    Based on these capacity parameters, it’s possible to conclude that the Stonic is about 100 kg lighter than the Venue, but the Stonic is not as strong as the Venue.

    Hyundai Venue Vs Kia Stonic: Safety

    

    Both Korean cars come with dual front airbags, stability control and ISOFIX, electronic brake-force delivery antilock brakes, and rear parking cameras.
