Here’s a variant-wise price breakdown for the Kia Syros:

The ADAS package is an optional extra on the top-spec HTX+ trim and costs Rs 80,000. Price-wise, the Syros sits between the Sonet and Seltos. Prices for the Sonet petrol range between Rs 8 lakh and Rs 14.95 lakh, while the Seltos petrol is priced between Rs 11.13 lakh and Rs 20.51 lakh. Similarly, Sonet diesel prices range between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 15.70 lakh, while the Seltos diesel is priced between Rs 12.71 lakh and Rs 20.51 lakh.

Kia Syros design and colours

The Syros takes design cues from global Kia SUVs like the EV9 and EV3, packaged in a tallboy body measuring just under 4 metres. The fascia is quite distinctive, thanks to its upright stance and low-set vertical LED headlights that extend into the fenders. There’s generous usage of cladding all around the lower portion, and in the top-spec variant, the tri-petal design for the 17-inch alloy wheels looks striking.

It features body-coloured B-pillars sandwiched between all-black A-, C- and D-pillars, roof rails, flush-fitting door handles, and a flat glass area that sharply kinks upwards before wrapping around the rear. At the rear, the Syros sports high-mounted L-shaped tail-lamps that flank the rear windscreen. Lower down, the chunky rear bumper has a two-tone black and silver finish with vertical stop lamps and turn indicators on either side.

Eight colour options are available: Aurora Black Pearl, Frost Blue, Glacier White Pearl, Gravity Grey, Imperial Blue, Intense Red, Pewter Olive and Sparkling Silver.

Kia Syros interior and safety features

Kia has fitted the Syros with a clean, well-laid-out dashboard. Taking prominence on the centre console are two 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment and instrument cluster, bridged by a 5-inch screen for the climate control. The two-spoke steering wheel has a unique off-centre Kia logo, and the AC vents neatly run across the dashboard’s length. The tallboy form factor also helps maximise the Syros’ interior space, which, according to Kia India MD and CEO Gwanggu Lee, was a crucial design consideration for the compact SUV.

The Syros’ equipment list is brimming with features such as ventilation for all four seats, ambient lighting, reclining and sliding second-row seats with centre armrest and 60:40 split-folding function, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charging pad, a panoramic sunroof, powered driver’s seat, electronic parking brake and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. As for safety equipment, the Syros has six airbags, electronic stability control, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera and a Level 2 ADAS suite.

Kia Syros powertrain

The Syros comes with two engine options that can be mated to manual or automatic transmissions. Petrol Syros buyers get a 120hp, 172Nm, 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol unit. The diesel Syros packs in a 116hp, 250Nm, 1.5-litre four-cylinder mill. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard for both engines; buyers can opt for a 7-speed DCT with the petrol variant and a 6-speed torque converter with the diesel variant.

It competes with other compact SUV such as the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, the new Skoda Kylaq and the Hyundai Venue.
