Kia has debuted its new compact SUV, the Syros, for which the bookings will begin on January 3, and the launch will happen in February. The Syros will be available with two engine options and in six trims. Here, we find out just how well-equipped these six trims are, the powertrain they come with and the colours available.

Kia Syros colours

All variants of the Syros get eight monotone colour options, including a new one called Frost Blue. The other seven exterior finishes, namely Glacier White Pearl, Sparkling Silver, Intense Red, Imperial Blue, Pewter Olive, Gravity Grey and Aurora Black Pearl, can be seen on either the Sonet or Seltos.

Kia Syros engine and gearbox

The unveiling has confirmed our previous report of the Kia Syros being powered by familiar turbocharged engines – a 120hp, 172Nm, 1.0-litre petrol and a 116hp, 250Nm, 1.5-litre diesel. As for gearbox options, a 6-speed manual is standard on both. However, the petrol has a 7-speed dual-clutch auto option from the lower-spec HTK+ trim, while the diesel has a 6-speed torque convertor automatic option from the higher-spec HTX+ trim.
