Kia has finally unveiled in India the highly anticipated Kia Syros, a new sub-compact SUV placed exactly between Kia Sonet and Seltos. With impressive design and advanced features, it’s all set to give enough jolt in the Indian automotive market. The SUV is slated to begin deliveries in February 2025, with the option for customers to place bookings online or directly at Kia dealerships across the country. Let’s take a deeper dive into what the Kia Syros brings to the table in terms of its design, features, pricing, and performance.
Kia Syros Launch Date and Booking Details
Kia India has confirmed that the official pricing for the Kia Syros will be announced on February 3, 2025. The price is still a secret, but early estimates are that the Syros could be priced between Rs 9.7 lakh and Rs 16.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The actual price will depend on the variant and engine configuration that the customer chooses.
Bookings for the vehicle are now open, and anyone interested in taking a Kia Syros home can do so online by visiting Kia’s official website or directly at a dealership near them. Deliveries will start in February 2025. Depending on where in the country one is located, deliveries may vary as this type of launch always does.
Kia Syros’ Bold New Design
Kia has made the Syros look fresh, modern, bold, and sophisticated. Inspired by some of Kia’s global models, such as the Carnival, EV3, and EV9, the Syros has an aggressive, boxy look that makes it really stand out on the road. The design contains several key elements that make this SUV stand out.
Front Design:
The front of the Syros is immediately eye-catching, thanks to the vertically stacked LED headlamps integrated into the bumper. These headlights are paired with three projector units and unique drop-down LED daytime running lights, inspired by the Kia Carnival. The upper fascia is sealed, giving it a sleek, EV-like look, while the air intakes below are accentuated with silver trim, adding a touch of sophistication.
Side Profile:
Modern design themes are continued by the side profile of the Syros, as A-, C-, and D-pillars are blacked out and B-pillars are painted. The flush-fitting door handles and heavy-duty plastic cladding over the wheel arches lend a tough feel to the SUV. Dynamic stance is also contributed by 17-inch three-petal alloy wheels. There is also a kink at the rear window line which is quite a characteristic feature to enhance the character and make the side view a more interesting affair.
Rear Styling:
At the rear, Syros carries a bold, tall-boy stance; it is actually a minivan with high-mounted L-shaped tail lamps that sweep around the rear windscreen. Two-tone rear bumper in black and silver makes it sporty-looking, more energetic, and more youthful.
Interior of Kia Syros: Feature Rich
The exterior looks similar to the inside, with well-furnished interior hosting features of high-end class that significantly enhance the driving experience.
Two 12.3-Inch Displays: The Syros boasts two larger-sized 12.3-inch screens, one for the infotainment system and a separate for the instrument cluster that will give it a state-of-the-art feel with a modernized interior.
Wireless Connectivity: This SUV has wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and wireless charging so that the occupants stay connected during the journey without any wire mess.
Premium Comfort: Kia has put in all the efforts for comfort through ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat, and 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system to make an audio experience as real as it can get.
In the convenience feature area, a panoramic sunroof adds to the airy feel of the cabin. An electronic parking brake and reclining/sliding second-row seats with 60/40 split function enhance passenger convenience.
Safety Features: The Kia Syros doesn’t compromise on safety, equipped with six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS. The ADAS suite includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring, ensuring a high level of protection for both the driver and passengers.
Kia Syros: Engine Options and Performance
Under the hood, the Kia Syros offers two engine options, both designed to deliver a balance of performance and efficiency.
1.0-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine: This 3-cylinder engine delivers 120 horsepower and 172Nm of torque. It is available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), allowing drivers to choose between a more engaging drive or smooth automatic shifting.
1.5-Litre Turbo-Diesel Engine: The 4-cylinder diesel engine churns out 115 horsepower and a punchy 250Nm of torque which makes it perfect for individuals looking for a diesel engine. In fact, the diesel is offered with a choice between 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter auto-gearbox.
The engines are the same units found in other models that have already made their mark with excellent reliability. There is the Hyundai i20 N-Line, Venue, and Kia Sonet. It goes without saying that these Syros come with tested powertrains for the Indian roads.
Conclusion
Kia Syros seems to be the real game-changer in the sub-compact SUV space. So there comes a car such as the Syros, packed with bold designing, feature-stuffed interior and reliable engine choices, which aims to cater for the needs of a diverse market. Whether the buyer is going to look forward to a very tech-rich experience, top-end safety, or solid performance – the Syros seems to do it all right.
