This variety ensures that buyers can choose a version that best suits their budget and feature preferences, making it a versatile choice for different customer segments.
Engine
The Syros comes with both petrol and diesel engine options. The 1.0L turbo petrol engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission, offering a mileage of 18.2 kmpl, or a 7-speed DCT automatic, which delivers 17.68 kmpl.
Meanwhile, the 1.5L diesel engine comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, providing 20.75 kmpl, or a 6-speed automatic, which delivers 17.65 kmpl. These fuel efficiency figures make the Syros a strong competitor in its segment, offering buyers a good balance between power and economy.
Design
The Kia Syros stands out with its bold design and practical dimensions. It has an overall length of 3,995 mm, a width of 1,800 mm, and a height of 1,665 mm, ensuring a solid road presence.
The wheelbase of 2,550 mm provides more cabin space, while the 465-litre boot capacity makes it a practical choice for families and long trips. Its taller stance, longer wheelbase, and increased boot space make it a better option over the Sonet when it comes to practicality and comfort.
Interior Themes & Features
The Kia Syros offers four different interior themes, allowing buyers to customize the cabin according to their style. Even the base variant comes well-equipped with modern features. Some of the most notable highlights include 17-inch crystal-cut alloy wheels, sleek LED DRLs, and a panoramic sunroof that enhances the cabin’s airy feel.
It also boasts first-in-segment ventilated seats for all occupants, making drives more comfortable. A 30-inch Trinity Panoramic Display adds a premium touch, while the rear seats with reclining and sliding functions ensure passengers enjoy maximum comfort. These features collectively make the Syros a premium and well-rounded compact SUV.
Safety & ADAS
Kia has equipped the higher trims of the Syros with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), ensuring an extra layer of safety. This includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking, which help prevent accidents and enhance the driving experience. With these advanced safety features, the Syros is designed to provide peace of mind to drivers and passengers alike.

The Kia Syros is available in eight striking color options: Glacier White Pearl, Sparkling Silver, Gravity Grey, Imperial Blue, Intense Red, Aurora Black Pearl, Pewter Olive, and Frost Blue. With such a diverse palette, buyers can choose a shade that best reflects their personal style.
