Kia India has officially teased its upcoming Syros compact SUV, confirming a panoramic sunroof and hinting at premium features. Expected to launch in early 2025, the Syros will bring a mix of internal combustion (ICE) and electric powertrain options, along with a bold, EV9-inspired design.
Kia Syros: Panoramic Sunroof and Premium Features Confirmed
The teaser reveals the panoramic sunroof, setting the Syros apart in its segment. In addition, it promises features like:
- Ventilated and powered front seats
- Drive and traction modes
- Leatherette upholstery
- Bose premium audio system
This focus on luxury ensures the Syros will be positioned above compact SUVs like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet.
Design Inspired by Kia EV9 and Carnival
The Syros adopts a bold, boxy design with a flat roof and upright rear, maximizing interior space. Inspired by Kia’s flagship EV9 SUV, the Syros showcases:
- Clamshell bonnet with a sharply angled nose
- Unique window line with a sharp kink near the rear quarter glass
- Break in the window line at the B-pillar, reminiscent of the Skoda Yeti
ICE and Electric Powertrain Options Expected
While technical details remain sparse, the Syros is anticipated to launch first with ICE options, followed by an electric variant. Both versions will share a common platform and feature front-wheel drive.
Premium Positioning in the Compact SUV Segment
The Syros will cater to those seeking more rear-seat space and comfort, rivaling SUVs in the sub-4m category like:
- Hyundai Venue
- Kia Sonet
- Maruti Brezza
- Skoda Kylaq
With more cabin space than the Sonet and rivaling the Seltos, the Syros aims to redefine premium compact SUVs.
Launch and Debut Details of Kia Syros
The Kia Syros is expected to debut in production-ready form at the Bharat Mobility Show in January 2025, with its official launch slated for early 2025. The electric version could follow soon after.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Kia Syros is shaping up to be a compelling entry in the compact SUV segment, blending luxury, practicality, and innovation. With its panoramic sunroof, premium features, and options for both ICE and electric powertrains, it promises to cater to a wide range of customers. Its bold design, inspired by Kia’s flagship EV9, further sets it apart from competitors. As we anticipate its official debut in early 2025, the Syros is undoubtedly one to watch for those seeking a feature-packed, future-ready compact SUV.
