The Kia Stonic is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) manufactured by Kia Motors. Its name is derived from the words "speedy" and "tonic". The Stonic debuted in Frankfurt on 20 June 2017 and in South Korea on 13 July 2017, and was released in the fourth quarter of 2017. It is marketed as the Kia KX1 in China.
Overview
The Kia Stonic made its debut at the 2017 International Motor Show Germany. It is the smallest in Kia's SUV lineup, below the Niro, Sportage, and Sorento. The Stonic shares its platform and interior with the fourth generation Kia Rio.
The Stonic is offered with a choice of four engines: a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, and a 1.6-liter CRDi four-cylinder diesel engine.
It was discontinued in South Korea in September 2020 due to sluggish sales.

Kia KX1
The Kia KX1 is the variant built by the Dongfeng Yueda Kia joint venture for the Chinese market. Despite the high resemblance between the KX1 and the Stonic, the KX1 was slightly restyled for the Chinese market, featuring a modified hood, redesigned bumpers, improved DRL and a circular fuel tank cap. Compared to the international model, the Chinese-made version are marginally shorter, with a full body length of 4,100 mm instead of 4,140 mm, and round fog lamps instead of boomerang-shaped LED lights. It lacks AEB, blind zone monitoring and cruise control compared to the Korean-made version.
The KX1 is powered by a single 1.4-liter petrol aspirated engine producing 100 hp. The transmission is either 6-speed manual transmission, or a six-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the top of the trim KX1 receives advanced multimedia, climate control, video surveillance cameras and a sports aerodynamic body kit.
The Chinese-made KX1 is exported to Philippines under the Stonic nameplate since October 2020.
