Coming in second place is the Soluto subcompact sedan. In third place is the K2500 light commercial vehicle. The Carnival minivan also came in fourth, while the Seltos subcompact crossover secured the fifth spot. 

With regards to its total sales for last year, it looks like Kia is slowly getting back on its feet. We can say that since it garnered a much better sales figure compared to its total of 2,129 units sold in 2020 (a 76 percent increase). Then again, that lower figure from 2020 is unsurprising since most automotive brands did take a huge hit when the COVID-19 pandemic began to rear its ugly head. 

For those who are reading this who might want in on the Kia Stonic bandwagon, then be aware that it comes with a price range of Php 735,000 to Php 925,000 for its four locally available variants.

All Stonic trims are powered by a 1.4-liter inline-4 gasoline engine that can make up to 97 horsepower and 132 Nm of torque. The LX is the only variant that may come with a five-speed manual gearbox, while the rest use a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. 

The top-spec Stonic EX is well equipped with its eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a push-to-start button, automatic air-conditioning, and many other features.
