Why is my Kia Stonic engine making a loud knocking noise?

I recently purchased a new Kia Stonic and have noticed that the engine makes a loud knocking noise when accelerating. It's really concerning and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi Alicia, a loud knocking noise from the engine could be a sign of a serious issue. It's important to have it checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.

Hi Alicia, the knocking noise could be caused by faulty engine components. I suggest taking it to a Kia dealership for a diagnostic test.

Hi Alicia, make sure you're using the correct type and grade of oil for your Kia Stonic. Using the wrong oil can cause engine knocking.
