Kia refreshes Stonic SUV as Suzuki unveils July 2026 Turkish price list

Kia has given its smallest petrol SUV, the Stonic, a mid‑life makeover for the 2026 model year. The redesign includes a new family‑look exterior, updated interior trim and a 1.0‑litre turbocharged mild‑hybrid engine rated at 113 bhp. The GT‑Line version is priced at £25,995 in the United Kingdom. In a head‑to‑head test, the Stonic is slower to 0‑60 mph (10.2 seconds) than the Seat Arona (9.2 seconds) and its steering feels lighter, though it still offers confident handling. Ride comfort is adequate on motorways but the car is more sensitive to bumps on slower roads.

In Turkey, Suzuki released its July 2026 price list for new‑car buyers. The lineup includes the Swift, Vitara, S‑Cross and Jimny, with hybrid versions priced between 2,079,000 TL and 2,253,000 TL. Promotional offers feature trade‑in support for 4x4 models, a 0 % interest credit of 300,000 TL for six months for corporate customers, and specific discounts such as Vitara Hybrid at 2,063,000 TL and S‑Cross Hybrid at 2,153,000 TL.
