Kia's latest compact SUV, the Kia Syros, has rolled out its red carpet in India, making the country the global launchpad for this highly anticipated model. Bookings for the much-awaited model will open on January 3, 2024, and it is set to be showcased publicly for the first time at the Bharat Mobility Show 2025.
Designed with a strong emphasis on cabin comfort and advanced safety features, the Kia Syros aims to elevate the rear seat experience. Compared to the Sonet, the Syros is 10mm wider, 55mm taller, and has a 50mm longer wheelbase, offering superior interior space. Its 465-liter boot space also outshines its sibling. Here’s a look at the top 10 standout features of the Kia Syros.
