2025 Kia Syros engine details

A couple of months back, we had spotted the Syros test mule on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway and during its fuel top-up, confirmed its diesel powertrain. More details have emerged from that time and we can now confirm that the Kia Syros will offer two engine options — a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol and a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine. Expect similar power tunes as the Seltos along with both manual and automatic transmission options.

2025 Kia Syros launch, expected price and rivals

As we mentioned earlier, Kia India will launch the Syros sub-compact SUV on December 19, 2024. Once launched, it will go against other sub-compact SUVs like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Hyundai Venue and its own sibling — the Kia Sonet. The bigger differentiation between siblings would be the rear seat experience, which the Syros excel over the Sonet. Coming to its expected price, our educated guess reveals that the Kia Syros price could fall in the range of Rs 9 lakh and Rs 17 lakh ex-showroom.
