    Ahead of its debut in the coming months, Kia India has dropped yet another teaser of the Syros compact SUV, this time confirming a panoramic sunroof. The Kia Syros will have a more premium positioning than the Sonet, and will pack in several other premium features such as ventilated and powered front seats, drive modes, traction modes, leatherette upholstery and a Bose audio system.

    1. Kia Syros will have a design inspired by EV9 and Carnival
    2. Will likely be offered with both ICE and electric powertrains
    3. Launch expected in early 2025

    Kia Syros: what do we know so far

    As we've reported earlier, the new Syros will differentiate itself from other compact SUVs by having a greater focus on rear-seat space and comfort. It features a boxy design with a flat roof and an upright rear, in order to liberate maximum cabin space. There are talks of the Syros having more interior room than the Sonet, and in a league similar to the Seltos, despite measuring under 4 metres.

    Teaser images from Kia have suggested design details that resemble the flagship EV9. It sports a rather unique silhouette with a clamshell bonnet that sharply swoops down to a tall and upright nose. A distinctive feature is the window line that rises up with a sharp kink for the rear quarter glass area. The break in the window line at the B-pillar, finished in body colour, is reminiscent of the Skoda Yeti.

    There are no details on the powertrain front yet, but sources have previously said it will get both ICE and electric powertrain options. Kia will likely launch it with the internal combustion engines first, and the EV version will arrive later. Both versions will be based on the same platform and will be offered in front-wheel drive guise.

    The upcoming compact SUV will be positioned above the existing crop of the sub-4m SUVs, like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza and the recently launched Skoda Kylaq. Although there’s no confirmation on this yet, Kia could showcase the Syros in production-spec at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Show in January 2025.
