Trending Questions on Kia Syros - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am currently driving a Hyundai i10 Era 2012 model with 61k on the odometer. I am the first owner, and these days my monthly driving is a maximum of 400 km. Now I am planning to purchase a new car. I mostly drive with family in 80% of cases, with 4 adults and 1 child, along with a fully loaded boot. My priorities are safety, mileage, and a good infotainment system. I drive 70% on highways and 30% in the city. I am open to both sub-4 metre and above-4 metre cars, and I prefer an SUV. Which car is best?
My monthly running is 3,000 km. Which car should I opt for in the range of ₹10-16 lakh? Usage is half city, half highway. Petrol, diesel or EV? Manual or automatic?
Hi Team! I have started driving a car since 3 years and currently own wagon r 2013 model. Now I am planning to buy a car at a budget of 14 lakhs on road in Ahmedabad (Can stretch by 1lakh if needed). I travel 45kms daily on SG highway where my avg speed is 40-70kmh. I hardly go outstation so this car will be mainly for city driving. Can you suggest me 2 options with model with my priorities being a practical car, smooth transmission, decent mileage and stress free ownership. (Suggest Options other than Suzuki).
The Hyundai Venue 1.0 Turbo DCT HX6 is a good option for your requirements. The Venue is an easy-to-drive compact SUV with a peppy engine and smooth DCT gearbox that suits your usage. It's practical too, with good space for four adults and a large enough boot. Hyundai's service is good, and you will have a stress-free ownership experience.
Alternatively, you could look at the Kia Syros Turbo DCT HTK Plus. It has the same engine and gearbox as the Venue and is nice to drive. It's also got a very roomy cabin and also packs in a few more frills than the Venue HX6, such as a panoramic sunroof and a larger touchscreen.
The Syros does have a slightly firm ride, but this should not be too much of a deal breaker on smooth highway roads. Kia's service is also more than satisfactory, making the Syros an easy option to recommend.
I’m planning to buy a new fully automatic car for a family of four. About 90% of the driving will be in Bangalore city. The driver is 6’1”, and the budget is around ₹15-20 lakh.
Among the automatic options in your budget, here's a shortlist of models well-suited to Bangalore city driving, as well as a tall driver.
1) Kia Seltos IVT - Very smooth engine and gearbox, roomy cabin, high-quality interior
2) Tata Sierra 1.5 NA DCT - Smooth gearbox, most spacious interior, great ride comfort. Performance is dull, though
3) Renault Duster 1.3 DCT - Smooth gearbox, punchy engine, great ride comfort. Not as spacious as rivals
4) Kia Syros 1.0 DCT - Spacious interior, feature-packed. Negatives include firm ride comfort, and the gearbox can feel jerky at times
Hello Autocar Team, I hope you’re doing well. I’m planning to buy a new car within a budget of around ₹15 lakh (on-road), and I’ve been quite confused between the Hyundai Venue and the Kia Syros, especially in the diesel automatic variants. To give you some context, I’m based in Nagpur, and after-sales service is a big factor for me. I already own a few Hyundai cars in my family, and honestly, the experience with their service network has been smooth and reliable. Because of that, I’m naturally inclined towards the Venue and feel a sense of trust there. That said, the Kia Syros has really caught my attention, mainly because of its interior design and overall cabin feel, which just seems more premium and modern, which is making the decision a bit difficult. However, there are a couple of things holding me back from the Syros. The headlight placement feels a bit too exposed and low, which makes me slightly concerned about it being prone to damage in daily city conditions. Also, I’m still a bit unsure about the overall exterior design. It hasn’t fully grown on me yet compared to the more familiar and balanced look of the Venue. My usage will mostly be city driving with occasional highway runs, so I’m looking for something that’s comfortable, easy to drive in traffic, and not too stressful to maintain in the long run. Some of my key expectations are: Diesel automatic option, good real-world mileage, and reasonable running costs. Practical features like a 360-degree camera and genuinely useful driver assistance features (not just gimmicks). A smooth, lag-free infotainment system with a good UI, comfortable seating and ride quality for daily use. I’m also slightly concerned about long-term ownership. Factors like service quality, parts availability, resale value, and overall peace of mind matter to me more than just initial impressions. From your experience and real-world testing, which of the two would you recommend for someone like me? Would it make more sense to stick with Hyundai, given my past experience and reliability factor, or is the Syros compelling enough in terms of features and overall package to take that leap? Looking forward to your honest advice. Regards, Heet Kariya.
Hi, I’m planning to buy an SUV with a budget of around ₹15-16 lakh, and I would really appreciate your advice on which car would be the best choice for my requirements. Most of my driving will be in Delhi NCR, primarily commuting between Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon for work. I enjoy driving and prefer a car that offers good performance and driving feel, but at the same time, my top priorities are features, comfort, safety and an overall premium experience. Currently, the cars I am considering are: Kia Seltos, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Creta, and Hyundai Venue. However, I’m also open to other SUVs if they provide better features, safety, driving experience and comfort within my budget. For example, cars in this segment often offer features like large infotainment screens, ADAS safety tech, sunroofs and premium interiors, depending on the variant. My key priorities (in order) are: maximum features and technology, comfort and premium cabin feel, safety, and good driving experience and performance. Could you please suggest which SUV would be the best option for my usage and budget, and which variant/engine option would make the most sense?
Please suggest an automatic SUV within a budget of ₹20 lakh. My primary usage will be daily commuting in Mumbai, with a weekend drive of around 200 km once a month. I would prefer features like a 360-degree camera and good safety features, with ADAS being optional. My wife will also be driving the car, so it should be easy and comfortable to drive in city traffic.
In your budget, the Hyundai Venue and the Kia Syros are good options. Both come with the 1.0-litre engine and DCT gearbox, which should be a good fit for your usage. The engine offers good performance,
and the DCT is generally quite smooth, with only occasional hesitation.
In terms of safety, both come very well equipped, with six airbags as standard, and a 360-degree camera and ADAS available on the top variants. The Syros has also scored five stars in the Bharat NCAP crash tests, and while the Venue is yet to be officially tested, it is based on the same platform as the Syros.
Hi, I currently drive a 2015 Honda Jazz diesel with 200,000km on the odometer . I have got the best in everything from the same. Most of my travel is in Pune city, where I clock around 100 km per day, and once a month, I travel 1000 km outstation. So in total, around 3000 km approximately in a month. My budget is ₹15 to ₹18 lakh, but I need a better 5-seater SUV and expect a strong balance of mileage, power and style. Kindly suggest, as I am a big fan of diesel cars.
I am planning to replace my current car and would appreciate your expert advice. I currently drive a Maruti Suzuki Ritz, and over the past 10 years, I have driven around 65,000 km, so my usage is relatively low. I mainly use the car occasionally on weekends and for highway trips, rather than daily commuting. My key reasons for upgrading are better safety and improved comfort. I live in Bengaluru, so city traffic and parking are also important factors. I am currently confused between two options: the Tata Nexon top-end variant with DCA (automatic), so my wife can drive it easily, and the Tata Sierra mid variant (likely Pure Plus manual) due to budget constraints. Could you please advise which would be the better choice for my needs?
Given your requirements, the Tata Nexon DCA is the better option. The Nexon's smaller size will make it easier to drive and park in the city. There's also the convenience of the DCA or dual-clutch automatic, which will really take away much stress from driving.
Do note that while the Nexon is a good choice, it's not the best option in the segment. We would recommend you also check out petrol-automatic versions of the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Kia Syros, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq that offer punchier performance, which you will appreciate on highway drives.
