Kia Syros launched in India, what to expect

Kia India has officially launched the Syros compact SUV, with prices ranging from Rs 9 lakh to Rs 17.80 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Syros is available in six trims, with two engine options and multiple transmission choices.

The Kia Syros takes design cues from global Kia SUVs like the EV9 and EV3, with a distinctive upright stance and low-set vertical LED headlights.

The interior features a clean, well-laid-out dashboard with two 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment and instrument cluster.

The Syros also comes with a range of features, including ventilation for all four seats, ambient lighting, reclining and sliding second-row seats, and a Level 2 ADAS suite.

The Syros is available with two engine options: a 120hp, 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol unit and a 116hp, 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel mill. Both engines can be mated to manual or automatic transmissions, with a 6-speed manual gearbox standard for both engines.

Kia India has been accepting pre-bookings for the Syros since January 3 for a token amount of ?25,000. Deliveries are expected to start from mid-February.
