Both models have their strengths – but which one suits you more?
Compare performance, efficiency, price and space directly: Kia Stonic or Peugeot 2008?
The compact SUV market is teeming with options, but two models that have garnered significant attention are the Kia Stonic and the Peugeot 2008. Each brings its unique flair and innovative features, making it challenging for prospective buyers to choose between them. Let’s dive into the technical aspects and innovations that define these two formidable contenders.
When it comes to power, the Peugeot 2008 offers a more robust lineup. It includes petrol, petrol mild hybrid, and fully electric versions. The petrol models range from 101 to 136 HP, while the electric version kicks things up with 156 HP. The Kia Stonic, however, relies solely on petrol and petrol mild hybrids, delivering a maximum of 100 HP. This difference gives the Peugeot 2008 a distinct edge in versatility and performance options.
In terms of acceleration, the Peugeot 2008 again shines, boasting a swift 0-100 km/h time of 8.3 seconds in its fastest variant, compared to the Kia Stonic's quickest sprint of 11.3 seconds. Additionally, the Peugeot attains a top speed of 206 km/h, while the Stonic maxes out at 179 km/h.
The efficiency of both models varies significantly depending on the chosen powertrain. The Kia Stonic's petrol and mild hybrid engines have a consumption range between 5.5 and 5.8 L/100 km. On the other hand, the Peugeot 2008's petrol variants consume between 5 and 5.7 L/100 km, whereas its electric version utilizes 15.5 to 15.9 kWh/100 km and offers an impressive electric range up to 406 km.
The CO2 emissions further highlight their differences, with the Peugeot 2008 incorporating an electric motor boasting zero emissions, while the Kia Stonic's efficiency class peaks at D with CO2 emissions starting from 125 g/km.
Space is an essential aspect of any SUV, and both models accommodate five passengers. However, the Peugeot 2008 offers a larger trunk capacity of 434 liters compared to the Kia Stonic's 352 liters, providing more room for luggage or gear.
In terms of dimensions, the Peugeot 2008 is slightly more considerable, measuring 4,304 mm in length, compared to the Stonic's 4,140 mm, which might appeal to those who prefer a roomier interior space.

Both vehicles offer advanced transmission options, with the Peugeot boasting a dual-clutch automatic as well as a manual gearbox. The Kia Stonic matches these offerings but sticks strictly to petrol and mild hybrid, which might appeal less to tech-savvy customers interested in electric options.
Choosing between the Kia Stonic and the Peugeot 2008 boils down to personal preferences and priorities. While the Stonic offers a straightforward approach with its focus on petrol-driven systems, the Peugeot 2008 provides a broader array of powertrains, including an appealing all-electric variant.
