Dimensions & Design
Kia’s electric SUVs, such as the EV9 and EV3, served as inspiration for the Syros’s boxy, upright appearance. Its features include:
- Tri-LED headlamps and vertical LED DRLs in a tall-boy stance
- prominently carved bumper and roofline that is flat over
- Blacked-out roof rails, flush-fit door knobs, and pillars
- 17-inch crystal-cut alloy wheels in two different colors
- LED taillights in the shape of a L and striking rear styling
With a length of just under 4 meters and a wheelbase of 2,550 mm, its small size makes it easy to maneuver in urban areas while maintaining roomy interiors.
Highlights of the Interior and Features
Kia has packed the Syros with premium features that are unmatched in the class:
- The enormous 30-inch panoramic “Trinity” display combines climate control, instrument cluster, and infotainment into a one sweeping panel.
- Segment-first front and back seats with ventilation, as well as second-row seats that slide and recline
- Harman/Kardon 8-speaker system, wireless charger, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, and 4-way motorized driver’s seat
- Smart cruise, lane-keep assist, a 360-degree camera, numerous airbags, ESC, and six airbags are among the connected technologies via Level-2 ADAS.
- Kia Connect 2.0 suite with over 80 connected features and OTA upgrades.
Trio Powertrain
There are two engine options available in various transmission configurations:
- With 6MT or 7DCT, a 1.0L turbo-petrol (T-GDi) produces about 118 horsepower and 172 Nm.
- 1.5L CRDi VGT Diesel: ~116 horsepower and 250 Nm, with 6MT or 6AT options
This allows consumers to choose between gasoline and diesel models based on factors including performance, efficiency, and driving inclination.
Competitiveness and Market Positioning
The Syros, which is priced in the middle of competitors like the Mahindra XUV3XO, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Maruti Brezza, attempts to set the standard with its luxurious interior and cutting-edge technology.
Kia is promoting the Syros as a game-changer in the sub-4-meter compact SUV sector with its distinctive design, segment-first features, and appealing starting price.
In India’s very competitive small SUV market, the 2025 Kia Syros is a formidable competitor, providing:
- An attractive pricing range between ₹9 lakh and ₹17.80 lakh
- Segment-first comfort and feature set, including movable second rows and ventilated seats
- Seldom seen in this class are connected and safety technologies.
- Both manual and automatic options are available for adaptable diesel and gasoline powertrains.
The outcome? A daring, technologically advanced SUV that will probably have an immediate effect after introduction.
