Kia Syros unveil live: What features can be expected?
Kia appears determined to play the SUV game stronger still. The Syros is likely to create a segment of its own while banking on its SUV body type to strike a chord with Indians. Expect it to be more premium, especially in the cabin, than the Sonet which is a fairly well-kitted car in its own right. Expect a dual-screen setup with a touchscreen infotainment system and a digital driver’s display, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof and 360-degree camera. But while even these premium features have become fairly common in mass-market vehicles, the Syros could pack in ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance System.
Kia Syros unveil live: What’s cooking, Kia?
Kia has taken big strides since making its India debut back in 2019. It is still one of the newest car brands in the country and despite the Covid years, the Koreans have emerged as one of the leading players in the Indian passenger vehicle space. The company has its manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh from where it rolled out its first-ever India model – Seltos. This was followed by the launch of Carnival, Sonet and EV6 premium electric car. The Carnival was taken off shelves only to be brought back earlier this year in a single, fully-loaded version. But while Carnival and EV6 aren’t number grabbers in terms of sales, the Sonet and Seltos have both fared strong despite fierce competition in the sub-compact and mid-size SUV spaces, respectively.
