Set to launch in 2025, the Syros represents Kia’s next step in expanding its diverse SUV lineup, blending innovative technology, bold design, and a focus on sustainability.

This goes it great alignment with Kia’s broader global strategy to transition toward cleaner mobility solutions.
The Syros joins Kia India’s growing portfolio, which already includes popular models like the Seltos, Sonet, and Carens. Positioned as a mid-size SUV, the Syros is expected to appeal to urban families and adventure enthusiasts alike, bridging the gap between practicality and premium styling.
