Where each one leads
Kia Stonic
- Against cars of the same age, the Kia Stonic comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 4% more often than average) than the Peugeot 2008 (passes 6% less often than average).
- Fewer Kia Stonic cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (1.2% against 1.7%).
- Measured by the cars' own fuel meters, the petrol Kia Stonic uses 6.4 l/100 km on the road, the Peugeot 2008 6.8.
Peugeot 2008
- New Peugeot 2008 cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 103 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 126 for the Kia Stonic in 2022.
Too close to call: real-world fuel use in Europe, petrol hybrid (l/100 km).
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
