Kia UK has revealed the Stonic ‘Quantum’, a new special edition of its popular B-segment SUV.

The ‘Quantum’ edition sits at the heart of the Stonic line-up (above the ‘GT-Line’ and below the ‘3’) and is designed to offer maximum value to customers. It offers a comprehensive list of standard features and equipment, combined with an affordable purchase price of just £21,600 on-the-road.

For the same on-the-road price as the Stonic ‘GT-Line’, the ‘Quantum’ offers a series of additional features to entice customers. These include heated front seats, heated steering wheel, smart key with engine start/stop, rain-sensing front wipers and auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The ‘Quantum’ model also offers a single bold colour scheme, with the exterior featuring a Storm Grey body with yellow two-tone roof. Inside, the cabin is finished with new black cloth and grey faux leather seats with yellow inserts, as well as a yellow interior package which lifts the cabin further with additional colour highlights.

Standard features on the ‘Quantum’ also include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, reversing camera, 8.0-inch touchscreen navigation system with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, privacy glass, front fog lights and bi-function projection headlights, and LED rear combination lights. It also features driver assist technologies which are standard across the whole Stonic line-up, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (City / Pedestrian / Cyclist), Hill-Start Assist Control, Lane Keeping Assist System, High Beam Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Electronic Stability Control with Vehicle Stability Management, and Manual Speed Limit Assist.

The Stonic ‘Quantum’ is powered by Kia’s popular 1.0-litre T-GDi (Turbocharged-Gasoline Direct injection) engine, producing 99 bhp and powering the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

Order books for the Kia Stonic ‘Quantum’ are now open across Kia’s UK dealer network, with first customer deliveries due to start in early 2023.
