I finally got the opportunity to check out Kia's all-new compact SUV - Kia Syros - in person, and I must say this is the new benchmark now when it comes to spaciousness, quality, fit & finish, features and flexibility. Though the Kia Syros is based on the same platform as the Sonet, its structure has been reinforced to achieve better safety and a longer wheelbase. Its wheelbase is about 50mm longer than the Sonet, and the Korean carmaker has managed to extract so much space in the car despite having the largest boot. The Syros SUV will be available in both 1.0L T-GDi and 1.5-litre diesel engine options in both manual and automatic versions. It won't be getting the 1.2-litre NA engine, though. While the launch is stilll away, we expect its public debut at the upcoming 2025 Delhi Auto Expo.
