Kia Syros: A New Benchmark in India’s SUV Landscape
Kia India just demonstrated their new SUV, the Syros. It’s a small but wonderful car that is **positioned** exactly in the middle of two of their other cars, the Sonet and the Seltos. They’re trying to change things in the SUV world with some special features and a special, rare look. This new car makes it five SUVs that Kia has released in India, showing they really want to give many different choices to people who are shopping for cars.
Distinctive Design Philosophy
The Kia Syros brings a new sensation to the Indian market, thanks to the Design 2.0 philosophy from Kia, and it takes cues from the EV9 model. It stands out with its vertical LED daytime running lights up front, a tough-looking front bumper, and a strong posture. If you see its side, you notice it has a flat roof, door handles that are level with the body, and big 17-inch wheels that mix two colors. Going around to the back, you’ll see L-shaped LED taillights that stretch up and rather blend into the roofline, making it look modern and unique.
Spacious and Feature-Rich Interior
Inside, the Syros offers a premium experience with a 30-inch panoramic dual-screen setup that includes a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, complemented by a digital driver’s display. The cabin is designed for comfort, featuring ventilated seats for both front and rear passengers, a sliding and reclining second row, and a panoramic sunroof. Additional amenities include a wireless charger, twin USB-C ports, a 360-degree parking camera, and front parking sensors, enhancing convenience and safety.
Advanced Safety with Level 2 ADAS
In the Syros, making fully sure everyone is safe is vitally important. It comes with Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and it has 16 features that change based on what’s happening, such as helping the car stay in its lane. It’s also understood standard features to keep you safe, such as six airbags — something that helps the car stay balanced — and something else that assists when you begin driving on a hill to make sure everyone inside is well protected.
Versatile Powertrain Options
The Syros gives you different engines to choose from, with options for both petrol and diesel. The petrol one has a 1.0-litre turbo engine that gives out 118 bhp and 172 Nm of torque. You can get it with either a six-speed manual or a really nice seven-speed double-good automatic gearbox. For the diesel fans, there’s a 1.5-litre engine that produces 116 bhp and 250 Nm — you can match it with a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
Booking and Launch Timeline
Starting from January 3, 2025, you can place your orders for the Kia Syros; the price will be announced at the Bharat Mobility Show in January 2025. After that, Kia plans to start delivering the cars in early February 2025; the Syros is going to strengthen drastically the competition among small SUVs, competing directly with Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, and, not to forget, the soon-to-arrive Skoda Kylaq.
