Comparison: Boot space Kia Stonic vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this SUV?

From daily commutes to weekend road trips, boot space remains an essential aspect of a vehicle's practicality. Enter the KIA Stonic, a compact crossover SUV that doesn't compromise on storage capacity. The latest model of KIA Stonic offers a generous 352 liters of boot space - not too shabby for a small SUV. But how does it compare to previous generations and its closest competitors? Let's dive into the journey of the KIA Stonic's trunk evolution and evaluate its storage capacity in relation to other models.

Kia Stonic - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

While the KIA Stonic is relatively new, with only one generation (the YB 2017-now) under its belt, it's still worth exploring the progression of its boot space over the years. Although no past generations exist to compare, it's worth noting that the current model's boot space sits at a respectable 352 liters, providing ample storage for all sorts of cargo. With rear seats folded, capacity increases to a cavernous 1155 liters. It's safe to say that over its (albeit short) existence, the KIA Stonic has consistently delivered a practical trunk space for its drivers.

The boot space compared to other Kia models

So how does the KIA Stonic's boot space compare to other KIA models? Well, it undoubtedly finds itself in a sweet spot. While models such as the KIA Picanto (255 l), KIA e-Soul (315 l), and KIA Rio (325 l) offer smaller trunk volumes, the Stonic still comfortably accommodates more storage than its siblings. That said, it falls short when compared to KIAs with larger boot spaces like the KIA Ceed (395 l), KIA Sportage (591 l), and the roomy KIA Sorento (697 l). Nonetheless, when it comes to KIA's lineup, the Stonic asserts itself as a well-rounded option, stride for stride with other models in terms of boot space.

How does the boot space of the Kia Stonic compare to it's nearest competitors?

What about the competition? Let's take a look at how the KIA Stonic's 352-liter boot space stacks up against its closest rivals. With the likes of the SsangYong Korando (486 l), VW T-Cross (455 l), and Nissan Qashqai (430 l) sporting larger trunks, Stonic falls behind in comparison. However, don't discount the Stonic just yet! It does outclass cars such as the SEAT Arona (400 l), Hyundai Kona (361 l), and most impressively, outshines SUVs like the Ford EcoSport (355 l), Nissan Juke (354 l), and KIA Soul (354 l). All in all, the KIA Stonic holds its own when it comes to boot space within its competitive segment. SsangYong Korando, VW T-Cross and Nissan Qashqai are its toughest rivals in terms of boot space, but do not underestimate the Stonic for its practicality and overall storage capabilities.
