KIA has revealed a special edition of its Stonic compact SUV which is due for release early next year.

The Quantum edition is priced from £21,600 and comes with a two-tone paint job and a yellow theme to the interior trim.

For the same price as the Stonic GT-Line, the Quantum offers a series of additional features including heated front seats, heated steering wheel, smart key with engine start/stop, rain-sensing front wipers and auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The car also offers a single colour scheme with the exterior featuring a grey body with yellow two-tone roof.

Inside, the cabin is finished with new black cloth and grey faux leather seats with yellow inserts, as well as a yellow interior package which Kia says lifts the cabin further with additional colour highlights.

Standard features on the Stonic Quantum also include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, reversing camera, 8.0-inch touchscreen navigation system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, privacy glass, front fog lights and bi-function projection headlights, and LED rear combination lights.

It also features driver assist technologies which are standard across the Stonic line-up, including forward collision-avoidance assist, hill-start assist control, lane keeping assist system, high beam assist, driver attention warning, electronic stability control with vehicle stability management and manual speed limit assist.

The Stonic Quantum is powered by Kia's 1.0-litre T-GDi engine, producing 99 bhp and powering the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
