Kia has opened the order books for the Syros SUV, which is the Korean automaker's premium SUV entry into the crowded sub-4-metre segment. You can book your own Syros by paying a token amount of Rs 25,000. The SUV is available in six different variants, comes with a premium cabin loaded with features and is offered with multiple powertrain options.
Read on to take a detailed look at the Syros:
The Kia Syros is a more premium alternative to the Sonet while being positioned below the Seltos in Kia’s lineup. You can choose from six different variants: HTK, HTK (O), HTK+, HTX, HTX+, and HTX+ (O).
Its eight colour options include: Frost Blue, Sparkling Silver, Gravity Grey, Imperial Blue, Intense Red, Pewter Olive, Glacier White and Aurora Black.
The Syros stands out among the herd of conventionally styled sub-4-metre SUVs and has a personality of its own! The modern design language of the Syros will remind you of Kia’s flagship EV9.
The Syros’ boxy and tall-boy stance gives a rugged and muscular appearance overall. It sports vertical headlamps, L-shaped DRLs, flush-type door handles and a flat rear end. For a closer look at its design, check out this story.
Step inside and you will be welcomed by a premium interior featuring a dual-tone interior theme (three options). The dashboard design and layout is unlike any other Kia SUV and has its own charm. Streaks of ambient light (64 colours), a large panoramic sunroof and a spacious second row make the interior a nice place to be in.
