Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the Kia Stonic registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (45,319 cars), engine power from 27 countries, kerb weight from 28 countries. Source: EEA COâ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).
Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 61 kW (82 hp) | 1,145 kg | 2019 | 15 |
| Petrol | 73 kW (98 hp) | 1,230 kg | 2021 | 21 |
| Petrol | 88 kW (118 hp) | 1,213 kg | 2019–2021 | 211 |
Plus 2 variants with fewer than 10 cars (13 cars in total).
Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep).
