Why does my Kia Stonic engine keep overheating?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I've noticed that the engine tends to overheat after driving for a short while. What could be causing this issue and how can I prevent it?

It's important to regularly check your coolant levels and make sure they are at the proper level. Low coolant levels can lead to overheating. Additionally, check for any leaks in the cooling system and have them repaired immediately. If the problem persists, it may be a sign of a larger issue that should be addressed by a professional mechanic.

Make sure to check your radiator cap as well. If it's not sealing properly, it can cause the engine to overheat. You can also try using a higher quality coolant or even flushing and replacing the coolant entirely.

Another common cause of overheating is a faulty thermostat. If the thermostat is stuck closed, it can prevent coolant from properly circulating through the engine. Have it checked and replaced if necessary.
