Why is my Kia Stonic engine hesitating while accelerating?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I've noticed that the engine hesitates while accelerating. This happens especially when I'm driving at a low speed and then suddenly press on the gas. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

This could be due to a clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump. Have a mechanic check these components and replace them if needed.

Your Kia Stonic may be experiencing a misfire, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as worn spark plugs or a malfunctioning ignition coil. Get a diagnostic test done to determine the exact cause.

If your Kia Stonic has a turbocharged engine, the issue may be with the turbo itself. It could be a boost leak or a worn turbocharger. Make sure to regularly check and replace the turbo and its related components.
