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.
Skoda Kushaq
- Elegant styling: Individual elements in connected LED lighting and illuminated Skoda wordmark at the rear looks chic
- Boot space: Not the biggest on-paper, but very practical in real life
- Driving dynamics: Feels fun to drive without any big compromise in ride comfort
- Performance: Both 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines offer good performance
- Value: Base variants offer a really good functional and convenience feature package

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.
Skoda Kushaq
- No ADAS features could be a miss for people who do long intercity trips
- Rear-view camera: Really poor quality and no dynamic guidelines render it almost useless in anything other than broad daylight
- Powertrain options: No CNG, diesel or hybrid powertrain option for people looking for low-running costs
