Kia Syros
- Dual Screen Setup - 10.25 Inch Infotainment touchscreen and 10.25 Inch digital driver's display. Now, Kia Sonet and Seltos in their top variants offer this dual screen setup, so its evident that Syros will feature that too, but with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- 360 - Parking Camera - Not necessarily the most exclusive feature, but definitely the most in-demand one - the 360-degree parking camera is now available in entry-level cars, so why not in the Syros?
- Bose Speakers - The Sonet comes with 7 Bose speakers, and the Seltos has 8. We don't know how many the Syros will have, but it could be 7, as it is a sub-4-meter car, and that many speakers should be sufficient.
- Panaromic Sunroof - It was pretty evident that Kia would offer it, and why not? In India, people often base their car-buying decisions on the size of the sunroof and how many people can stand when it's open. Kia also teased it in one of their teasers, and the Seltos gets one too. However, the Sonet only comes with a single-pane sunroof.
- Front Seat Ventilation - Both seats will offer a front seat ventilation option, and the driver's seat will feature power adjustment. It would be great if Kia provides the same functionality for the front passenger seat, like Skoda offers.
- Dual Zone Climate Control - Kia Seltos offers this, and most likely, the Syros will too. Dual-zone climate control essentially provides separate A/C settings for the front passengers. If you're the driver and are feeling really hot, but the person next to you is comfortable and finds 24 degrees fine, this climate control system allows you to set the temperature to your preferred level.
- ADAS - As per several media reports, ADAS Level 2 will be available in this SUV, with 19 autonomous features, including Lane Departure Warning, Smart Cruise Control, and Blind Spot Monitor, and much more.
Other Features I expect in this car:
- Ambient Lightning
- Cooled Glovebox
- Air purifier
- Over the air software updates
- Wireless charging pad
- Type C socket
- Multiple Drive Modes

Verdict
Kia is ready to rock and roll again with its last launch of the year. This is going to be a very interesting product from the brand, as they already have two great compact SUVs in their lineup. According to media reports, it will share the engine with the Sonet but will offer features and space similar to the Seltos. So, what will its pricing, placement, and more be?
