Kia Motors is officially launching the much-anticipated Syros SUV in India on Saturday. The vehicle, which aims to rival models like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Tata Nexon, comes packed with advanced features and is expected to be competitively priced between ₹9-14 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Syros boasts a modern design, a spacious interior, and a host of tech-driven features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, connected car technology, and advanced safety features such as six airbags, electronic stability control, and a 360-degree camera. It will be available in both petrol and diesel variants, with manual and automatic transmission options.
Bookings for the Syros have already commenced, with Kia reporting strong customer interest. The launch comes at a time when the Indian automotive market is seeing increased competition in the compact SUV segment.
The Syros is expected to strengthen Kia’s position in India, where it has already seen success with models like the Seltos and Sonet. Industry experts believe the Syros could disrupt the segment with its combination of style, performance, and affordability.
