Kia has officially introduced the facelifted 2026 Stonic, a compact crossover known for its affordability and urban-friendly design. The refreshed model brings updated styling, new interior tech, and improved efficiency to stay competitive in the global market.
Design and Features
The 2026 Stonic gets sharper LED headlights, a redesigned grille, and sportier bumpers for a bolder look. Inside, it features a larger infotainment screen, enhanced connectivity, and upgraded driver-assist systems for better safety and convenience.
Powertrain Options
In select regions, the crossover will offer mild-hybrid powertrains to boost fuel economy and reduce emissions, aligning with Kia’s sustainability goals.
Global Launch
The facelift debuted on September 1, 2025, with production beginning later this year in South Korea and Slovakia. Sales will start in early 2026 in Korea and Europe, then expand to Australia, the Middle East, and South America by mid-2026. A North American release is expected in late 2026.
Pakistan Outlook
The updated Stonic may arrive in Pakistan by 2027 or 2028, depending on demand, import policies, and pricing challenges. Currently, Lucky Motors offers the pre-facelift Stonic in EX and EX+ trims, priced between PKR 5.7–6.3 million.
The facelift’s arrival in Pakistan remains uncertain, as Kia continues to prioritize higher-selling models like the Sportage and Sorento.
