Kia Syros

The Kia Syros will be the brand’s second sub-compact SUV after the Sonet that is expected to go on sale sometime in early 2025. It will be positioned between the Sonet and Seltos in Kia’s India lineup. Teaser images and spy shots have hinted at a tallboy design inspired by the latest EV9 SUV. This will also have a bearing on its interior space that will have a greater focus on rear seat comfort, addressing a major shortcoming of the Sonet. In Kia’s words, the interior will be “lounge-like”, with “futuristic features and an innovative seating layout”. Sources say the Syros will get both ICE and electric powertrain options, with the internal combustion variants arriving first, followed by the EV at a later stage.
