Kia India has officially unveiled the "Syros", a groundbreaking SUV designed to redefine urban mobility and adventure with its bold design, advanced technology, and unparalleled safety. Positioned as a “new species of SUV,” the Syros combines Kia’s signature innovation with segment-first amenities, including Level 2 ADAS, sliding and ventilated rear seats, and a 30-inch panoramic display, setting a new benchmark in the competitive automotive market.

Design

The Syros embodies Kia’s “Opposites United” philosophy, blending muscular aesthetics with practical versatility. Its exterior features the striking Digital Tiger Face grille, star map LED lighting, and 17-inch crystal-cut alloy wheels, creating a dynamic road presence. Streamlined door handles, puddle lamps with Kia logo projection, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof further elevate its premium appeal.

Inside, the cabin reimagines comfort with a 2,550mm wheelbase – the longest in its class – offering ample legroom. The 60:40 split rear seats slide, recline, and include ventilation, a first-in-segment innovation. Paired with front ventilated seats, 64-color ambient lighting, and a sporty double D-cut steering wheel, the Syros transforms every drive into a luxurious experience.
