Kia's newest compact SUV — distinctive design with segment-first features
The Kia Syros is one of Kia's newest additions to India, bringing a distinctive, vertically-oriented design language that sets it apart from conventional compact SUVs. It targets buyers who want to stand out from the Creta-Nexon-Brezza crowd with something genuinely different.
Despite its compact dimensions, the Syros prioritises rear passenger comfort with segment-leading rear legroom and an optional rear entertainment system — features usually seen only on premium executive sedans. This makes it particularly suitable for families where rear passengers frequently get driven.
Available with both petrol and diesel and DCT automatic, it covers the core powertrain needs of compact SUV buyers.
