Kia Syros Design
The Kia Syros comes with a boxy aesthetics when compared with other SUVs in the brand's lineup. The Syros SUV has triple LED headlights and boomerang-shaped DRLs, which reminds me of the all-electric EV 9 SUV. The Syros's bonnet exudes a big and uplifted appeal. The overall bodywork and styling of the Syros remain similar to the EV9 SUV.
Kia Syros Engine and Power
The all-new Syros is offered with two engine options, which are similar units available with the Sonet SUV. These include a 1-litre petrol engine, a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. While the former generates 118 bhp and 172 nm, the latter is capable of making 115 bhp and 250 Nm. For transmission, it gets a 6-speed manual gearbox, which is available as standard with both engines, but the turbo petrol also gets a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox. The diesel mill gets a 6-speed torque converter for an automatic.
Kia Syros Fearures on Board
While the Syros derives features from the Sonet, it offers many more things. The Syros has features such as 1st in segment-ventilated seats for both rows, 1st in segment display panel, Harmon Kardon premium 8-speaker sound system, remote window ventilation, and call center-assisted navigation.
