The Syros has many strengths in its armour, but there are a few things that stop it from getting that perfect score!
Before getting into the pros and cons of the Kia Syros, let’s first understand what it is. In India, we already have plenty of subcompact SUVs like the Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Tata Nexon. Essentially, the Syros is also a subcompact SUV as its length is just under the 4-metre mark. But, it brings a new flavour to the segment, a premium one! It not only is loaded to the brim with features but also has a very spacious rear seat which will make your experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Amidst the multiple pros, trust me on this, every car has its share of cons as well. So in this report, we take you through the strengths and weaknesses of the Syros in detail:
