The Stonic, with its SUV styling, also seats five, offering a trunk space of 352 L, slightly larger than that of the Jazz. Small details such as ergonomic seating and user-friendly technology add to the overall comfort for both driver and passengers.
Honda is known for its focus on safety features, and the Jazz is no exception. It comes equipped with Honda Sensing, which includes a suite of advanced safety technologies such as collision mitigation braking, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control.
Kia, on the other hand, offers an array of driving aids with the Stonic. Its safety features comprise lane assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear-cross traffic alert. Technology-wise, the Stonic also boasts a modern infotainment system with smartphone integration.
