Dimensions
The Syros is designed to offer more space and comfort than its sibling, the Sonet. It measures 3,995 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,665 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,550 mm. This makes it 50 mm longer, 10 mm wider, and 55 mm taller than the Sonet, ensuring improved cabin space, particularly for rear-seat passengers. The boot space is also generous at 465 litres, making it ideal for long journeys.
Exterior Design
Drawing inspiration from Kia’s global models like the EV9 and EV3, the Syros stands out with its bold and boxy design. The headlights are positioned lower on the front bumper, giving it a unique face, while the side profile features flush-type door handles, heavy cladding, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The tall-boy stance further emphasizes its rugged and modern appeal.
Interior Features
Inside, the Syros offers a tech-savvy and premium cabin loaded with advanced features. It boasts dual 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, complemented by a 5-inch screen dedicated to HVAC controls. The 2-spoke steering wheel is a fresh addition, and the overall cabin layout feels luxurious. Premium features include Level 2 ADAS, a panoramic sunroof, all four ventilated seats, OTA updates, a 360-degree parking camera, and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
Engine Options
Under the hood, the Syros comes with two tried-and-tested engines: a 1.0L tGDi petrol and a 1.5L CRDi diesel. The petrol engine delivers 120 bhp and 172 Nm of torque, while the diesel unit produces 115 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. Both engines are available with manual and automatic transmission options, ensuring versatility for different driving preferences.
Launch Highlights
The Syros’ February 1 launch will include its price announcement, and it is expected to be competitively priced to attract buyers in the compact SUV segment. The model’s blend of premium features, enhanced dimensions, and efficient engines positions it as a strong contender in the sub-4-meter SUV category.
With its launch around the corner, the Kia Syros promises to set new benchmarks in style, comfort, and technology in the Indian market.
