Kia Syros Debut Date Out, Launch Expected Soon
The Kia Syros is set to be showcased on December 19, and is reported to slot between the Sonet and Seltos SUVs in Kia’s Indian lineup
It was in early November that Kia started teasing its new and upcoming SUV for the first time. The new model, called the Kia Syros, has now been confirmed to debut on December 19 in India. It’s reported to slot between the Sonet and Seltos SUVs in Kia’s Indian lineup. Here’s what we know so far about the upcoming Kia SUV:
Kia Syros Design
Given the previously released teasers, we have already seen its vertically stacked 3-pod LED headlights and the long LED DRLs, big window panels, and a kink in the window beltline towards the C-pillar. You can also notice that it has flared wheel arches, a strong shoulder line, and flush-fitting door handles. Other key exterior details include elongated roof rails, L-shaped tail lights, and an upright tailgate.
