Known for equipping its vehicles with segment-leading features, Kia is likely to include amenities in the Syros such as a sunroof, touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, ventilated seats, and advanced driver assistance systems. Enhanced second-row seating is also expected, promising greater comfort than the Sonet.

Engine Options and Competition

The Syros is anticipated to offer two engine options: a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.0L turbo-petrol. Positioned as a small SUV, the Syros will take on competitors like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Mahindra XUV300. Rumours suggest that an electric variant could be introduced later, adding another dimension to Kia's compact SUV lineup.
