Trending Questions on Kia Syros - Answered by Autocar Experts
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Hi, I currently drive my car for 6,500-7000 km a year. 85% of my drive is within the city (mainly home-to-office) and 15% on NH. Looking to buy an Automatic Petrol car (SUV) with a Rs 15-16 lakh budget. Interested in a car with good handling, which is comfortable for 6-foot-tall people to sit, and has annual maintenance not in excess of Rs 10,000. Please advise.
