Where each one leads
Audi Q2
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Kia Stonic
- Fewer Kia Stonic cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (1.2% against 1.7%).
- New Kia Stonic cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 126 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 137 for the Audi Q2 in 2022.
- Measured by the cars' own fuel meters, the petrol Kia Stonic uses 6.4 l/100 km on the road, the Audi Q2 7.1.
Too close to call: MOT pass rate against cars of the same age.
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
