Overview
Kia India has added a new subcompact crossover SUV called the Kia Syros. This model sits in the middle of the company's SUV range, between the Sonet and Seltos, and is designed to bring together a combination of an SUV's presence and utility for everyday use. The Syros competes with others in the sub-4-meter SUV segment, featuring modern design elements, a spacious cabin and interiors with top-tier features that are more than you would expect given the price point. The tall roofline and long wheelbase give passengers plenty of headroom and legroom while providing an elevated road presence. It offers a very premium experience inside with a sunroof and three-display setup available on higher trims, along with a host of additional comfort and technology features. The four- and five-star safety ratings demonstrate that it prioritises safety while providing a balanced ride that's suited for both highway and city driving. Models start under ₹10 lakh ex-showroom and top out in the mid-₹15 lakh range for buyers seeking all the style, comfort, and interior spaciousness, while keeping the price from going beyond what's considered affordable.

Kia Syros User's Review 3.8
"The car is great, but the best models are pricey. If you don't need all the technology, lower trim levels make more sense. "
" The Syros appears smaller from the outside, but inside it feels much larger. The cabin feels luxurious, and the rear seats are very comfortable. Even on rough roads, suspension is comfortable. "
" I mostly bought it for safety and how easy it is to drive. The steering is light, the visibility is good, and the five-star safety rating makes you feel safe. The mileage is good, but not the best in its class. "
"The right size for driving and parking in the city. The ride is smooth and the cabin is well-insulated. Parents can sit comfortably in the back seat. "
" It feels very contemporary thanks to the screens, sunroof, and ADAS features. On highways, a diesel engine feels comfortable and has a lot of pulling power. "
