Kia India is gearing up to launch the Kia Syros SUV which will feature two engine options: a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine and a 1.5-liter diesel engine. The Syros is set to make its global debut on December 19, 2024, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2025.
Syros SUV Engine Options and Performance
The Kia Syros will be powered by a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, which produces 120 hp and 172 Nm of torque. This engine option will come with a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), offering a versatile driving experience. Additionally, the Syros will offer a 1.5-liter diesel engine that delivers 115 hp and 250 Nm of torque. The diesel variant will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission, catering to different driving preferences.
Design and Features
The Syros boasts a bold and modern design, featuring a prominent front grille, vertically-stacked LED headlights, L-shaped LED taillights, and a chunky front bumper. The sleek and aerodynamic body of the SUV is designed to appeal to urban buyers looking for style and substance. Inside, the Syros offers a spacious and feature-rich cabin with a host of premium amenities.
The interior includes a panoramic sunroof, providing an airy and open feel to the cabin. The dual-screen setup, which features a touchscreen infotainment system and a digital driver display, ensures that the latest technology is at the driver’s fingertips. The infotainment system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, offering seamless smartphone integration. Other advanced features include ventilated seats, automatic climate control, wireless smartphone charging, and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
Market Positioning and Pricing
Positioned between Kia’s Sonet and Seltos, the Syros aims to cater to buyers looking for a compact SUV that offers more cabin space and premium features. While the exact pricing details have not been announced, it is anticipated that the Syros will be priced higher than the Sonet due to its additional features and size. The official price announcement is expected to take place at the Bharat Mobility Show in January 2025, where more details about the variants and pricing will be revealed.
