Real-world fuel consumption

16,372 Kia Stonic cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 6.4 l/100 km on the road, against 5.7 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 12% more.

Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

On real-world figures the petrol Kia Stonic uses 6.4 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 960 litres: €1,701 at this week's average price in Spain, its largest market in Europe.
