Form is very important to the Filipino buyer. Case in point is the 2021 Kia Stonic. While crossovers are all the rage these days, the choices below the sub-million-peso range are slim. Thus, in an enlightened moment of product genius, Kia took the Rio/Soluto, raised its ride height then added roof rails and plastic wheel arches. The result is this: one hip, fashionable, and above all, an unbeatable value-for-money soft-roader. Watch out, sub-compact sedans, this one’s going after your lunch money.
