Kia India has revealed its newest car in India — the Kia Syros — to strengthen its position in the compact SUV segment. Positioned between the Kia Sonet and the Kia Seltos, this new SUV features a distinct design with unique b and c pillars that are a throwback to the Skoda Yeti. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Kia Syros SUV including its design details, features, specifications, and more.
Kia Syros design and dimensions
Kia has styled the Syros to look clearly distinct from its closest siblings, the Sonet and the Seltos. It takes cues from high-end Kia cars in India like the Carnival and the EV9. On the side are the unique b and c pillars that we spoke of earlier. The overall design is boxy and it looks like a scaled down version of the recently launched Kia EV9. The tail lamps are integrated into the rear windshield.
