A Bold New Design

The Kia Syros offers the all-new Kia signature exterior design language to express today’s modern sophistication married by functional practicality.

Well-profiled hood design features characteristic lines and a sporty, integrated rear with prominent use of LED taillight assemblies. A floating roofline, emphasized by a chrome strip, adds to its premium feel.

Kia is offering the Syros with multiple powertrain options to cater to diverse consumer preferences. Buyers can choose between:

1. 1.5L Turbocharged Petrol Engine: Delivering 160 PS and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT.
2. 1.5L Diesel Engine: Generating 115 PS and 250 Nm of torque, available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
3. Hybrid Variant: A 1.5L petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, emphasizing fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

All variants promise a smooth and responsive drive, making the Syros suitable for city commutes and long road trips alike.

Advanced Features

Kia has packed the Syros with cutting-edge technology and premium features, ensuring it stands out in a crowded market. Key highlights include:

• 12.3-inch Dual Displays: A fully digital instrument cluster and an infotainment touchscreen with seamless integration.
• Connected Car Technology: Kia’s UVO Connect suite offers over 60 smart features, including remote start/stop, live tracking, and geofencing.
• ADAS Suite: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems such as lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking enhance safety and convenience.
• Panoramic Sunroof: Adding a sense of space and luxury to the cabin.
• Premium Upholstery: With ventilated front seats and leatherette trims, the interior exudes comfort and sophistication.

The Syros also boasts generous cabin space and a boot capacity of 420 liters, ensuring practicality for everyday needs.

Safety First

Kia has emphasized safety in the Syros, and it is fitted with a number of features that keep the occupants safe. The SUV comes with six airbags as standard along with ABS, ESC, hill-start assist, and all-around parking sensors. The high-strength steel body structure ensures enhanced crash protection, while the ADAS suite elevates active safety standards.

Competitive Pricing and Booking Details

Although the Kia Syros hasn’t revealed the prices as yet, sources from the industry believe that Kia Syros would begin from a relatively aggressive price tag of approximately INR 12 lakh, ex-showroom. With this kind of aggressive pricing, Kia would put up a very strong competition in the compact SUV category to the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and the MG Astor.
Booking for the Kia Syros will commence on December 25, 2024, across all authorized Kia dealerships and online through the company’s official website. Customers can secure their booking with a token amount of INR 25,000, which is fully refundable.

Market Expectations

The Kia Syros is expected to generate quite a buzz in the market, considering its stylish design, feature-rich offerings, and Kia’s reputation for quality and reliability. Given the growing demand for SUVs in India, the Syros can play a crucial role in strengthening Kia’s foothold in the market.

Closing Thoughts
