Kia has officially revealed its all-new SUV coupe — the Kia Syros 2025. Positioned as a compact yet futuristic crossover, the Syros features a bold coupe-like silhouette, electrified powertrain options, and advanced ADAS safety tech. Designed to appeal to young urban buyers, the Syros is expected to shake up the compact SUV segment with its sporty aesthetics and connected features — all in a price range under ₹15 lakh (expected).
Bold & Aerodynamic Coupe-Inspired Styling
The 2025 Kia Syros introduces a new design direction for the brand’s entry-SUV lineup. It sports a sloping coupe-style roofline, connected LED DRLs, a sculpted bonnet, angular bumper elements, and diamond-cut alloy wheels. The rear gets a full-width LED taillamp bar, integrated spoiler, and matte black cladding, giving it a premium yet athletic presence on the road.
Electrified Powertrain Options with Efficient Performance
Under the hood, the Kia Syros is expected to offer multiple powertrain choices — including a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.0L turbo-petrol unit, and a mild-hybrid setup with smart regenerative braking. Power output is likely to range from 85 PS to 120 PS, paired with either a 5-speed manual, 6-speed iMT, or 7-speed DCT. Mileage figures are expected to hover around 19–22 kmpl depending on the variant, with the hybrid delivering even better efficiency.
Feature-Rich Cabin with Premium Touches
Inside, the Kia Syros offers a contemporary cabin layout with a large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, automatic climate control, and push-button start. Premium fabric upholstery, dual-tone interior themes, and ambient lighting enhance the cabin’s youth-centric appeal. The coupe design doesn’t compromise much on rear headroom, thanks to smart packaging.
Level-2 ADAS and Safety Tech
Kia is pushing the envelope in the safety department with the Syros by offering Level-2 ADAS features in higher variants. These include lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, high-beam assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Syros will also feature 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill-start assist, and ISOFIX child seat mounts — making it a feature-rich compact SUV in its class.
Compact Yet Practical Dimensions
Despite its stylish coupe profile, the Kia Syros is expected to offer decent cabin space and a boot capacity of around 350–380 liters. The elevated ride height, wide stance, and premium suspension setup ensure confident city driving and occasional highway sprints. It will also come with roof rails, a sunroof, and 16- or 17-inch wheels depending on the trim.
Expected Launch Timeline & Pricing
The Kia Syros 2025 is expected to launch globally in late 2024 and make its way to the Indian market by early 2025. Positioned between the Sonet and Seltos, the Syros will likely be priced from ₹9.5 lakh to ₹14.5 lakh (ex-showroom), offering strong competition to models like the Tata Curvv, Hyundai Exter EV, and Maruti Fronx Turbo.
Conclusion:
With its striking coupe design, electrified powertrains, ADAS safety, and youthful appeal, the Kia Syros 2025 aims to be the most futuristic compact SUV coupe in India. If priced competitively, it could redefine how young India views budget crossovers — making premium style and tech more accessible than ever before.
