Kia’s highly anticipated compact SUV, the Syros, is gearing up for its global debut on December 19, 2024. In the latest teaser, Kia has offered a glimpse into the Syros’ feature-rich interior. From its stylish new two-spoke steering wheel to terrain modes, advanced tech, and luxury features, the Syros is set to make waves in India’s competitive SUV segment.
All about Kia Syros
New Steering Wheel and Terrain Modes
The Kia Syros debuts a two-spoke steering wheel, inspired by the Kia EV3, featuring the brand’s modern off-centre logo. The wheel is equipped with buttons for infotainment and a dedicated Terrain Modes function. Like the larger Seltos, the Syros’ Terrain Modes will likely include Mud, Snow/Wet, and Sand, improving grip across challenging surfaces.
Feature-Rich Interior: Technology and Convenience
The teaser highlights several advanced features, including:
- Wireless smartphone charger for added convenience.
- Push-button start and controls for parking sensors and cameras.
- Two USB-C ports in the center console.
- Large infotainment touchscreen, likely a 10.25-inch unit, and a digital instrument cluster for higher trims.
- Panoramic sunroof and ADAS suite on top variants.
Engine Options: Petrol, Diesel, and an EV in the Pipeline
The Kia Syros will come with two engine options to differentiate it from the Sonet:
- 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine
- 1.5-litre diesel engine
Automatic transmissions will likely be available for both. While the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol will remain exclusive to lower Sonet trims, an all-electric version of the Syros is expected six months after the initial launch.
Market Position and Launch Timeline of Kia Syros
Positioned between the Kia Sonet and Seltos in India’s SUV line-up, the Syros aims to offer premium features in the compact SUV segment. Kia is expected to announce prices in January 2025 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, with the EV version following later in the year.
