Kia India is gearing up to make a bold statement in the compact SUV segment with the launch of its all-new Syros
Scheduled for a global debut on December 19, 2024, the Syros aims to carve out its niche between the Kia Sonet and Seltos, offering a fresh design language, advanced features, and premium appeal. With teasers already creating a buzz, the Syros is poised to take on rivals in the compact SUV space.
Futuristic Design and Premium Styling
The latest teasers of the Kia Syros showcase a modern, futuristic design with attention to detail. Sporting a light blue paint scheme with contrasting black accents on the wheel arches and roof rails, the SUV exudes a sporty yet premium look. Chrome embellishments, flush-fitting door handles, and squared-off wheel arches further elevate its appeal.
At the front, vertically stacked headlamps paired with LED DRLs highlight the Syros’ bold face. The rear design features L-shaped LED tail lamps connected by a light bar, a sculpted tailgate, and a sporty bumper with integrated brake lights. Completing the look is a roof spoiler that adds to its dynamic stance.
Feature-Rich Interiors
Inside, the Kia Syros is expected to set new benchmarks with its premium features. A dual-screen setup, likely measuring 10.25 inches for the infotainment and driver display, will take center stage. The infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while a two-spoke steering wheel with Kia’s new logo adds a contemporary touch.
Passenger comfort is a key focus, with highlights such as rear AC vents, Type-C charging ports, a panoramic sunroof, and reclining rear seats. The interior is further enhanced by ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and a premium Bose sound system. Practical features like a cooled glove box, electrically adjustable driver’s seat, and a large center console add to its convenience quotient.
Safety and Technology
Kia is prioritizing safety with the Syros, equipping it with a stronger body structure aimed at achieving a high crash rating. Level 2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and collision avoidance systems will enhance driver confidence. Additional safety equipment includes side and curtain airbags, 3-point seat belts with reminders, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and electronic parking brakes.
Powertrain Options
While Kia has not officially revealed the engine lineup, the Syros is expected to borrow its powertrains from the Sonet. These could include a 1.2-liter petrol, a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-liter diesel engine. Transmission options may include 5-speed and 6-speed manual gearboxes, along with automatic and DCT variants. Kia is also likely to introduce an electric version of the Syros at a later stage.
Expected Price and Launch
Although pricing details are yet to be disclosed, the Kia Syros is anticipated to be positioned in the Rs 10-15 lakh (ex-showroom) range, making it a competitive offering in its segment. With its official debut set for December 19, the Syros is all set to challenge established players with its blend of style, features, and technology.
