Kia India has officially revealed the name of its upcoming SUV, the Kia Syros. Positioned between the Kia Seltos and the Kia Sonet, the Syros promises to offer a fresh option in the competitive SUV market. The Kia Syros will be the first India-made SUV to showcase the company’s new Design 2.0 philosophy, part of the Kia 2.0 strategy.
Here’s what to expect in Kia Syros
This new design approach draws inspiration from Kia’s global models like the EV9 and the Carnival Limousine, ensuring that the Syros will boast a modern, eye-catching aesthetic.
The SUV is expected to feature a striking three-element vertical LED headlight design with integrated DRLs, providing it with a bold and contemporary front profile. Additionally, the Syros will come equipped with roof rails, larger windows that contribute to a sense of spaciousness inside, and newly designed four-spoke alloy wheels that add to its premium look.
The SUV will likely offer both petrol and electric vehicle (EV) variants, with petrol options potentially including a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. To appeal to a broader customer base and maintain competitive pricing, there may also be a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol variant. Transmission options for the Syros will include a 6-speed iMT (intelligent manual transmission), a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and a 6-speed manual transmission for the diesel models.
