2022 Kia Stonic Lx-T

2022 Kia Stonic GT-Line — The Smart Buy for Right Now Reluctantly selling. Genuinely gutted. But life doesn't always cooperate. This car has been a genuine joy to own, and if upgrading to something larger for the family wasn't forcing my hand I wouldn't be letting it go. But here we are — and that's your gain.

Why this car, why now? Let's talk about timing. Anyone who has filled up recently knows the pain at the pump is real — and the trajectory of global oil prices shows no sign of reversing anytime soon. With Middle East conflict continuing to rattle international supply chains, fuel costs in New Zealand are climbing in a way that is fundamentally changing how smart buyers think about their next vehicle. In that environment, what you drive matters enormously. This Stonic GT-Line runs a turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine producing 74kW and 172Nm, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic — and claims just 5.4L/100km on the combined cycle. That's genuinely class-leading efficiency in a compact SUV. Every time fuel prices climb, this car becomes a better investment.

What you're getting Performance that punches above its displacement. Kia's 1.0L Turbo Petrol engine provides 74kW of power and 172Nm of torque —

GT-Line spec. Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Follow Assist, and a reverse camera.

The bottom line The 2022 Stonic GT-Line sits at the sweet spot: small enough to be brilliantly economical right when fuel costs are biting hardest, large enough to be genuinely practical, and loaded enough to feel like a premium purchase every single day. Fuel-efficient vehicles aren't a nice-to-have right now. They're a financial decision. I've loved this car. I hope the next owner does too.
