The Kia Syros has been launched with a range of petrol and diesel powertrain options. While the claimed mileage figures sound promising, the real-life story often paints a different picture. Here’s a breakdown of how each variant actually fares when it comes to fuel efficiency.
Here’s a quick look at the official vs real-world mileage numbers for each Kia Syros powertrain option.
The Kia Syros petrol manual variant claims a mileage of 18.20kmpl. In real-world driving conditions, including city traffic and occasional highway stints, it returns around 14.9kmpl. It's decent for a naturally aspirated petrol motor but not segment-leading.
The petrol DCT variant, with a claimed mileage of 17.68kmpl, the users of the Kia Syros report a real-life efficiency of around 14.2kmpl in mixed conditions.
If fuel efficiency is a priority, the diesel manual version of the Syros is a strong choice. It boasts a claimed mileage of 20.75kmpl and maintains a real-world figure of 17.5kmpl — impressive for mixed urban and highway driving scenarios.
The diesel automatic variant claims 17.65kmpl but in actual driving conditions returns around 14.5kmpl as per the current Syros owners.
