Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Syros
- Rear seat space: a 6’5” tall person can fit behind a 6’ tall driver. Slide and recline function makes it super versatile.
- 390-465-litre boot space: on par with SUVs from one segment above. 60:40 split rear seats on offer too.
- Interior quality, fit, finish is among the best in class.
- Segment best feature set: Panoramic sunroof, L2 ADAS, 360° camera, 30” panoramic display.
- Choice of 1-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Both available with an automatic.
Maruti Suzuki XL6
- Captain seats are large and comfortable for wider passengers with dedicated armrests.
- Usable third row: Average-sized adults can be comfortable.
- Good practicality: Spacious glovebox, 4x 1-litre door pockets, seat back pockets and two cooled cup holders.

Kia Syros
- Ride quality is likely to feel slightly bouncy on highways.
- Fuel efficiency of turbo-petrol engine in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic is known to be poor.
- Design is very unconventional which doesn’t leave a good first impression.
Maruti Suzuki XL6
- A diesel engine option would’ve offered effortless performance on inter-state journeys.
- Misses some useful features like automatic day/night IRVM, rear window blinds and rear cup holders.
- Single-tone interior design has started to look old.
