AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Kia Stonic and the Hyundai Bayon feature steering wheels that are pleasant to hold, but you will also encounter hard, scratchy plastics throughout both cabins. When cruising at higher speeds, wind and road noise are noticeable in each car, though neither leans much as you tackle bends. The Bayon gives you a healthy amount of legroom in the back, whereas legroom is tighter in the rear of the Stonic. If luggage space is key, the Bayon also provides a bigger boot.
