Kia has added a new mid-spec HTK (EX) trim to its compact SUV Syros, pricing it at Rs 9.89 lakh for the petrol variant and Rs 10.64 lakh for the diesel. Like the Kia Carens Clavis HTE (EX) trim, which launched on the same day, the Syros HTK (EX) makes available some exterior features at a lower price point in the line-up.
- Syros now has seven trims; HTK (EX) gets both turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
- HTK (EX), third from base, introduces all-LED exterior lighting at over Rs 2 lakh less
- Other HTK (EX) features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a single-pane sunroof
