The
KIA Stonic 2026 price in Pakistan now covers both the existing EX and EX Plus variants and the newly introduced Turbo S and Turbo X. The EX and EX Plus keep the familiar 1.4-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, while the new Turbo variants come with a smaller turbocharged engine that delivers much more torque.
So there are now two different Stonic setups, and it helps to know the difference before you book one. The prices of the two Turbo variants have now been officially announced, and here is how the full line-up looks:
- Stonic EX: PKR 48.62 lacs, 1.4-liter petrol, 6-speed automatic
- Stonic EX Plus: PKR 59.99 lacs, 1.4-liter petrol, 6-speed automatic
- Stonic Turbo S: PKR 58.99 lacs, 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol
- Stonic Turbo X: PKR 54.99 lacs, 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol
KIA has opened bookings for the new Turbo variants, with both versions carrying the same engine and transmission.
Changes With the New Turbo Variants
The biggest change is underneath the bonnet. The
Stonic Turbo S and
Stonic Turbo X use a 998cc 1.0-liter Turbo GDI petrol engine producing 100 PS and 172 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and sends power to the front wheels. That gives the new Stonic a very different character from the existing EX and EX Plus. The current versions use a 1.4-liter MPI engine producing 100 hp and 133 Nm with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Exterior Design and Road Presence
The new Stonic keeps the compact crossover shape but gets a more modern equipment package, particularly in the Turbo S. The Turbo S comes with:
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- LED projection headlamps
- LED daytime running lights
- LED front fog lamps
- LED rear combination lamps
- Roof rails
It also gets a power tilt-and-slide sunroof, giving it a more premium appearance than the standard versions.
The Turbo X uses 16-inch alloy wheels with 195/55 R16 tyres, while the Turbo S gets 205/55 R17 tyres. The Turbo S also sits higher, with 183mm of ground clearance compared with 165mm on the Turbo X. For Pakistani roads, that clearance difference is more than a styling detail. The extra height can be useful around large speed breakers, uneven streets and steep ramps.
Interior and Everyday Features
Inside, the Turbo S gets an 8-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 4.2-inch Supervision TFT instrument display and a six-speaker audio system. The cabin uses a black and medium-grey two-tone theme with cloth and artificial-leather seats. The Turbo S also includes features that are useful in everyday driving:
- Smart key with push-button start
- Cruise control
- Drive Mode Select
- Electric parking brake
- Auto Hold
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Rear camera
- TPMS
- Electrochromic rear-view mirror
- Six-speaker audio system
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
The Turbo X keeps the same basic infotainment and mechanical package but has a simpler interior and equipment list. It uses cloth seats, a conventional day/night rear-view mirror and does not get the power sunroof. It also uses a keyless entry system with a folding key rather than the Turbo S smart key and push-button start.
Engine, Power and Transmission
This is where the new KIA Stonic price in Pakistan 2026 needs to be considered alongside the actual mechanical upgrade. The Turbo S and Turbo X both use the same 998cc 1.0-liter Turbo GDI engine. It produces:
- 100 PS maximum power
- 172 Nm maximum torque
- 7-speed dual-clutch transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- 998cc displacement
- Petrol fuel
Maximum power is produced at 6,000 rpm, while the 172 Nm torque output is available between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. The important number here is torque. Compared with the existing 1.4-liter Stonic's 133 Nm, the turbocharged engine produces substantially more torque at a much lower engine speed. That should make the new car feel more responsive during acceleration and overtaking, although real-world performance and DCT behavior still need local road testing.
Fuel Economy and Driving Expectations
KIA has not published a confirmed Pakistan fuel-economy figure for the Turbo S and Turbo X in the currently available specifications. The new turbo engine and 7-speed DCT may offer a different balance of performance and economy from the outgoing 1.4-liter automatic, but quoting a fixed mileage figure before local testing would be misleading.
For the existing EX and EX Plus, the KIA Stonic fuel average is listed at around 12 km/L. Actual mileage will depend on traffic, driving style, road conditions, tyre pressure and air-conditioner use.
Space, Ground Clearance and Practicality
The Turbo S measures 4,165mm long, 1,760mm wide and 1,520mm tall. It has a 2,580mm wheelbase, 183mm ground clearance, 352-litre boot and 45-litre fuel tank. The Turbo X shares the same length, width, wheelbase, boot capacity and fuel-tank size, but its height and ground clearance are lower.
With five seats and a 352-litre boot, the Stonic remains more suited to city families and daily commuting than large-family touring. The rear seat can handle normal family use, while the boot is adequate for everyday shopping and moderate luggage.
Safety Features Buyers Should Know
Safety equipment is another area where the Turbo S gets a strong specification. It comes with six airbags, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Hill-Start Assist Control, Multi-Collision Brake and ISOFIX child-seat anchors. The Turbo S also gets front and rear parking sensors and a rear camera, which should make parking easier in crowded urban areas.
The Turbo X also retains six airbags, ESC, HAC, Multi-Collision Brake, parking sensors, rear camera and TPMS, so the lower-priced variant does not mean giving up the core safety package.
The Good & The Bad

- 172 Nm torque

Cons

KIA Stonic Compared with Its Rivals
The new Stonic will enter a compact crossover market where buyers can also look at vehicles such as the
Suzuki Fronx, Toyota Yaris Cross, and other similarly sized crossovers. The Fronx is particularly relevant because its GLX Hybrid combines a 1.5-liter petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance and a 6-speed automatic. It also offers features such as a 9-inch infotainment screen and rear AC vents.
