Trending Questions on Kia Syros - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Rajon Dec 23, 2025

I’m an NRI and visit India at least twice a year. During my visits, I travel frequently on highways and in cities. I’m looking for a car that will be used for about two months annually and driven up to 2,000 km per year. It should be comfortable for a family of five, with good boot space, ground clearance, and safety features. When I’m away, the car may be used by my single dad with a driver. Fuel efficiency and performance are not deal breakers, but comfort and features are important. My budget is ₹10-12 lakh. Please suggest.

The Kia Syros is an option worth considering. It's got an amazingly roomy cabin, good boot space and ample ground clearance for our road conditions. It packs in ample safety features and there's comfort in knowing that its a 5 star Bharat NCAP rated vehicle. The 1-litre turbo-petrol HTK Plus is within your budget and gets some key features such as a crisp 12.3-inch touchscreen. 

Other options you could look at include the Mahindra XUV 3XO in AX5 trim (though the boot isn't largest), Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXI (a well rounded package) and Nissan Magnite Turbo (service network isn't very widespread).

Asked by: Luke Jon Dec 22, 2025

Hi. I have been driving a Ford Figo for the last 13-15 years, and it has done only about 65,000 km, which shows how little I drive. This is mostly city driving. I am not a driving enthusiast and drive only because I have to. My family says it’s time to change and get a new car. We have been test-driving a few in the ₹15 lakh on-road price range. The ones we have shortlisted are the Kia Syros DCT and Hyundai Venue DCT. We also checked the Honda Bassalt and Skoda Kylaq.

For the family, the Kia Syros DCT is the most appropriate simply because the Syros has the most spacious cabin. The rear seats in particular are comfortable, offering more headroom and legroom than the Kia Sonet and Skoda Kylaq

The Syros is also superbly equipped, feels quite premium and has a large boot. The only issue is that the Syros pricing is a bit too high for a sub-4 metre SUV and not the best value.

Asked by: Jitendraon Dec 20, 2025

I want to buy a new manual car. My usage will be short city drives, nearby weekend trips, and 2-3 monthly trips to my hometown (approximately 300 km round trip). The car should have good ground clearance to handle poor roads in town. My budget is ₹10-12 lakh (on-road). My priorities are safety, comfort, mileage, and decent rear seat space. I also want a sunroof. I have shortlisted the 3XO, Syros, Nexon, and Kyaq, but I’m open to other suggestions. Are all five-star safety ratings equally safe? Should I choose CNG, petrol, diesel, or naturally aspirated or turbo?

Since your usage is limited, the premium you will pay for a CNG or diesel version over the turbo-petrol might not make sense. Hence, stick to their turbo-petrol versions only. Both, the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq are great options, with strong engines, a comfortable ride and confident handling. 

The XUV 3XO is more spacious, while the Kylaq has a bigger boot. The Kia Syros is an excellent, well-rounded car, too, but its entry-level variant, which is decently equipped otherwise, doesn't get a sunroof. 

Hence, since you want a sunroof, within Rs 12 lakhs, the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5 is the one for you.

Asked by: Akshay Patilon Dec 15, 2025

Hi team, my monthly driving is around 1,000 km. I want to buy a diesel car, and my budget is Rs 17 lakh. Please help me select the right vehicle. I am open to both manual and automatic options.

There are quite a few diesel-manual options available within your budget. You could go for a smaller but more feature-equipped vehicle or a larger, more powerful but less-equipped vehicle. Of the smaller vehicles within your budget, the Kia Sonet, Kia Syros, Hyundai Venue and Mahindra XUV 3XO should be on your shortlist. Among the larger vehicles, the Hyundai Creta and Mahindra XUV700 are worth a look. 

As for automatic gearbox options, the best pick would be the Kia Sonet diesel GTX+ AT. The refined 1.5-litre diesel engine and smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission work really well together to deliver a premium driving experience. Hyundai also offers the same combo on the new Venue, though you'll need to up your budget to get a feature-equipped model.

Asked by: Adarsh Chatraon Dec 12, 2025

I want to buy a car with an on-road budget of ₹10-12 lakh. My priorities are safety and mileage, with rear-seat space (for sleeping) as an optional preference. I do occasional long drives and typically drive about 100 km per week. I listed the Tata Nexon only to fill the form; please suggest the most appropriate car.

The Kia Syros is a great option for you due to its spacious cabin and backseats, which recline for more comfort. Furthermore, its boxy design enhances the sense of space inside this cabin. Another good, spacious option is the Citroen Aircross X, which is a large car for compact SUV money. If you have a Citroen showroom near you, it is worth considering.

Asked by: Neseth Prasadon Dec 11, 2025

How is the Citroen Aircross X AT? Is it worth investing in, and what would you suggest within a ₹16 lakh budget?

The Citroen Aircross X AT is a good SUV with a crucial USP being the extra set of seats in the third row. It isn't a 7-seater but more of a 5+2, which means the third row is good enough for kids and short adults for quick city drives. 

You can also remove the seats entirely and use the space as a big boot. The turbo-petrol engine is responsive and nice to drive, the ride is extremely comfortable, and it has a decent feature list too. If you want maximum practicality, the Aircross X is a good choice. 

The other option worth looking at would be the Kia Syros. The Syros has an unconventional design, but is excellent when it comes to space and packaging. It also has a higher level of quality throughout the cabin. Sure, it does not have an extra set of seats, but it has a spacious rear seat that gets ventilation for the base and a good degree of recline, too. 

Also, Kia's network is more widespread than that of Citroen, and that does help when it comes to after-sales and service.

Asked by: Jeethan Jacobon Dec 9, 2025

I want to buy another car which is spacious and comfortable and comes with an automatic transmission. I have a budget of around 15 lakhs. Which cars do you suggest?

Given your requirements of space, comfort and an automatic transmission, we’d suggest you have a look at the Citroen Aircross and Basalt. While the models aren’t very popular, they deliver with excellent ride comfort, ample space and a smooth powertrain. The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine works really well with the torque converter automatic transmission. The recent updates have also made the interior experience nicer. All in all, the Citroen cars are surely worth a serious look.
Of the other options, you could consider the Kia Syros (great cabin space and ambience but crashy ride), Honda Elevate CVT in V trim (roomy interior but average refinement) and the Mahindra XUV 3XO (good on space and comfort but limited boot space).

Asked by: Kashyapon Dec 2, 2025

My priority for getting a new car is a bit different from usual. I have three dogs (all medium-to-large breeds: Golden Retriever, Labrador and Indian Pariah), and I like travelling with them on long road trips once every quarter. My previous car was a 2014 Honda Amaze MT, which was very cramped. My requirements are an SUV that is powerful and safe. Maintenance and fuel costs can be a little high. My preferred budget is Rs 15 lakh, but I can stretch to Rs 20-22 lakh if it is worth it. I love driving and music and prefer a manual transmission, though I can consider an automatic. The EcoSport’s flatbed was interesting for my use case.

You may consider the Kia Syros for its roomy cabin. Its boxy shape makes it surprisingly spacious on the inside, and its rear windows roll down almost fully, which your four-legged members will appreciate.
The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine of this Kia car is adequately powerful, and its controls are light, making it quite user-friendly. Its music system is quite good too. You could also consider entry-level variants of the Mahindra XUV700 for its sheer size and cabin space.

Asked by: Asifon Nov 30, 2025

I own a 2013 Swift VDI that has done 80,000 km. I recently switched jobs, and my monthly usage has increased to roughly 1,500 km, with 65% highway usage. I am planning to upgrade to an SUV, but due to parking constraints, I can only consider a sub-4-metre SUV. Should I go for a diesel again or opt for a turbo-petrol, since I have not had to worry about DPF issues so far? Also, which car and variant below ₹15 lakh would suit me? Please exclude Tata and Mahindra.

Given your increased usage of 1500km per month, you should definitely stick with a diesel car. Yes, DPF is a new consideration you will have to make, but given your usage, a lot of which is on the highway, the regeneration process should happen naturally. And even that aside, it's not too much of a hassle if you look after your vehicle properly.
As for the SUV itself, the only diesel compact SUVs that aren't made by Tata or Mahindra are the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Kia Syros - which use the same 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine. Of the three, while the Sonet is relatively affordable, the Venue feels like a slightly better value, as it has newer tech, more space and better comfort overall, so it is the one we recommend.

Asked by: Saagaron Nov 28, 2025

I’m planning to buy a new petrol automatic and would like suggestions based on my needs. My monthly running is about 800 km (mostly city) with occasional highway trips carrying five passengers. My priorities are comfort, practicality, reliability, fuel economy, and stability. Must-have features are a sunroof, reverse camera, cruise control, and modern tech and safety. I’m considering Syros HTK Plus DCT, Nexon Creative Plus DCA, Venue HX8 DCT, Brezza ZXI AT, and 3XO RevX A, but I’m open to better alternatives.

Considering your requirements, the Kia Syros fits the bill and will offer everything you need in one package. 

The petrol engine has enough grunt for daily city driving, and the DCT gearbox is easy to use, especially if you’re not expecting high performance. The drive modes also help it adapt better on highways. It has the roomiest cabin among the SUVs you’ve mentioned.

The rear seat with the recline function is very comfortable. The panoramic sunroof brings in a lot of light and makes the cabin feel more open. The features and equipment list are excellent, and the overall build quality is very impressive.

The only area where it may fall slightly short is fuel efficiency, though the difference isn’t much.

Overall, it’s a fantastic package and works as a great all-in-one car.
