[THE INVESTOR] Kia Motors said on June 21 it will begin selling its Stonic subcompact SUV in Europe in the third quarter.

In a media preview held in Amsterdam on June 21, Kia Motors for the first time unveiled its Stonic SUVs mated with a 1.6 diesel or a 1.6 gasoline engine, the company said in a statement.

The maker of the K5 midsize sedan and the Sorento SUV plans to launch the Stonic in Western Europe sometime during the third quarter, it said.

The B-SUV segment is rapidly growing in Western Europe and about 1.1 million subcompact SUVs were sold last year, accounting for 7 percent of overall vehicle sales there, Kia Motors said.

The Stonic will be unveiled in South Korea later this month, the company said.
