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.

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.
