This is Kia Stonic Vs Suzuki Vitara comparison for 2021. The Stonic is the entry level SUV for Kia and is one of the cheapest small ‘SUV’ for sale as a new model. It is based on the Kia Rio hatchback which was released in about 2017. In comparison the Vitara is one of the oldest and cheapest small SUVs still on sale dating further back to 2015 and it is still very popular world wide.<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Suzuki Vitara exterior comparison: Quite subjective as both models are based on the styling trend from the early 2010’s. While the Vitara is more individual purely due to age on sale, nothing else bar Chinese hommages that vaguely look like it in 2012. In comparison the Stonic looks like a bloated Kia Rio with it’s plastic cladding but typical SUV like. We this it looks much like the latest Renault Clio. Regardless both are due for more styling updates.<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Suzuki Vitara interior comparison: The Stonic interior is based on the Rio so it is decent enough for a lower priced SUV and modern enough purely due to the tablet style stereo screen. The Vitara uses a traditional T-bar design and looks decent enough. We prefer the space and ambience of the Vitara more than the Stonic.<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Suzuki Vitara engine and technology comparison: Underbody Vitara tech is amazing with such a weight reduction and with more durability compared to the Stonic. Safety systems are essentially the same dependent on model grade but it is the engines that differentiate them. The more powerful Vitara regardless of engine is the better drive than the sluggish Stonic with it’s perceived DCT issues are the real reasons why you should be buying a Vitara.<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Suzuki Vitara drive report : N\/A<\/p>\n

The conclusion and winner of the Kia Stonic Vs Suzuki Vitara comparison is the Vitara. The Suzuki Vitara has the better package when you choose the mid range model that competes with the top range Stonic. The Vitara also has AWD on the top ranger which is missing on any Stonic model. However we think that the most important factor is that\u00a0even in base trim the Vitara looks more expensive than the Stonic in top level trim.<\/p>\n
