Syros is the second compact SUV from the Korean auto giant after the Sonet in our market
The bookings for the Kia Syros will commence from January 3 onwards at a token amount of Rs 25,000. Note that the prices will be announced on February 1, while the deliveries will begin in mid-February. Syros is a slightly more premium SUV than the Sonet and sits below the Seltos. This is already a tricky space since the prices of the Sonet and Seltos overlap quite a bit. Still, Kia has managed to squeeze in the Syros to offer even more diversification for car buyers. Depending on the price and application, potential customers will have a lot more options.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Sr. VP and Head of Sales and Marketing, said, “With the Syros, we are proud to introduce a game-changing SUV that embodies the perfect blend of innovation, style, and comfort, designed to exceed the expectations of the young, aspirational India. As we open pre-bookings, we invite customers to be among the first to experience the future of motoring. We are confident that the Syros will set new benchmarks in the industry, redefining the SUV in the Indian automotive market.”
