2024 Kia Stonic 1.0T GDi 98 2.5L DCT Petrol Estate

Description

So I’ve got this 2024 Kia Stonic – it’s a solid, well-maintained estate with a clean service history and everything you’d want in a practical family car. It’s actually Kia-approved, which means it’s been checked out by factory-trained pros and comes with a 7-year warranty plus two years of roadside assistance – that’s a big deal for peace of mind.

The car’s got a 1.0T engine, which is efficient and smooth, and it’s got a 98 horsepower, 2.5-litre unit with a DCT gearbox – no jarring shifts, just smooth power. It’s got 16-inch alloy wheels, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with voice control, which I love for navigating and music. The touchscreen has DAB radio, navigation, cruise control, and loads of driver aids.

Inside, it’s roomy, with climate control, heated rear window, electric folding mirrors, xenon headlights, and all-round electric windows with driver auto-up/down. There’s also lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, pre-crash prevention, rain sensors, and a hill start assist – all the usual safety stuff. The wipers are rain-sensing and speed-variable, which makes it feel more intuitive in different weather.

It’s been kept in great shape, has a full MOT cover for the first year, and I’ve had it serviced regularly – full service history is right there in the records. The paint is metallic, and it’s got a clean interior with no major wear.

I picked this one up through Vertu Kia, which is a well-known name in the UK – they’ve been around for years and have a solid reputation for quality and service. They’re based in Reading, Berkshire, and they’ve got a team of trained specialists who’ve worked on Kias for over a decade. The showroom gives you the option to chat live or go for a test drive – I’ve done both, and it’s a solid experience.

I’m not selling it just to get rid of it – I’m actually moving to a different area and it’s just going to be too much hassle to keep it around. I’ve been driving it for a few months and it’s been reliable, quiet, and comfortable. It’s not flashy, but it does everything you need for daily use – commuting, family trips, parking in tight spots.

It’s worth noting that the price is £16,375.50, which is fair for the package, especially with the warranty and support.

If you're looking for a reliable, practical estate with good tech and solid safety features, this one’s worth a look. I’m happy to answer any questions or help with a test drive.
