Kia Syros news

The Kia Syros in the top-spec diesel automatic spec is Rs 51,000 more affordable than similarly priced mid-spec HTX (O) diesel manual variant of the Kia Seltos

The Kia Syros is the most expensive offering in the subcompact SUV space in India

The Syros’ base variant costs Rs 1 lakh but offers some more features than the Sonet’s base-spec variant. But is the premium justified? We tell you the answer here

The Skoda Kylaq and Kia Syros sit in the same segment and will have overlaps in price. But as similar as they seem, they cater to very different buyers!

Last week we saw the launch of the Kia Syros, the commencement of deliveries of the Skoda Kylaq, and exclusive news about the facelifted Kia Carens

The Syros is Kia's second sub-4m SUV in our market, featuring a distinct boxy design and an upmarket cabin with tech like powered ventilated seats and Level-2 ADAS

Kia has taken a different approach in developing the Syros by making it a premium sub-4m SUV that will be positioned between the Sonet and Seltos in its Indian lineup

Next month, we will witness the launch of yet another Kia sub-4m SUV, as well as a sporty SUV from a German brand

The manual transmission on both the engines of the Syros isn’t offered with the higher-end HTX Plus and HTX Plus (O) variants as these two variants as they are offered with an automatic transmission o

The Kia Syros will be launched on February 1 and will be available in six broad variants: HTK, HTK (O), HTK Plus, HTX, HTX Plus, and HTX Plus (O)

The model pictured is the HTX variant of the Kia Syros as it is seen with all-LED lighting, LED DRLs, and a rear wiper with a washer.

The list is flooded with many premium creature comforts but also includes a few useful safety tech as well

Although the Syros shares a couple of engine options with the Sonet, it does not deliver the same fuel economy as its sibling

The Kia Syros is the first sub-4m SUV to feature reclining and sliding rear seats with ventilation function

Although the Skoda Kylaq is available with only a single 1-litre turbo-petrol engine, it delivers better claimed mileage than some popular sub-4m SUVs
