2026 Kia Syros: What’s New?

The 2026 Kia Syros gets a refreshed look with a redesigned front bumper that includes new body-coloured aero inserts, glossy black skid plates, and LED fog lamps. At the rear, it features an updated bumper, along with glossy black roof rails and ORVMs, plus a body-coloured garnish in profile for a more cohesive design.

In the higher HTX and HTX(O) trims, Kia has added new 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels paired with striking neon brake callipers. The Syros also gets three new shades: the Magma Red (which replaces the Intense Red), Ivory Silver (available in both Matte and Gloss finishes that replaces the existing Sparkling Silver hue).
