Kia Syros to Get These Features Over Sonet

Kia is ready to introduce Syros, a compact SUV in India on December 19, 2024. This latest version is more advanced, hence it is targeting customers for a premium experience. This Syros is distinguished as it offers several features that are not available in Kia Sonet.

Panoramic Sunroof

The Syros will have a panoramic sunroof. This adds a feeling of openness to the cabin. It makes the interior look bigger and lets in more light. The Sonet does not offer this feature, making the Syros feel more luxurious.

Level 2 ADAS

The Syros will have Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This makes driving safer and easier. It features lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning. The Sonet only offers Level 1 ADAS, with fewer safety features.

Ventilated & Powered Front Seats

The front seats of the Syros will be ventilated and powered. This implies that they will remain cool even in hot weather. You can also adjust them easily with buttons. Sonet's seats are ventilated but not powered. This gives the Syros an advantage.

Traction Modes & Drive Modes

The Syros will offer multiple drive and traction modes. These modes help the car adapt to different terrains like sand or mud. The Sonet has fewer options, making the Syros better for all kinds of road conditions.

Adaptive Cruise Control

The Syros will come with adaptive cruise control. This feature automatically reduces the car's speed for maintaining a safe distance from the car in front. Highway driving becomes comfortable and less stressful.

Launch Date and Price

Kia will launch the Syros on December 19, 2024. The launch is expected in January 2025, maybe at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. The probable starting price is Rs. 9 lakh (ex-showroom).

Engine Options

The Syros will benefit from the same engines as the Sonet. It includes:

• 1.2-litre petrol engine with 81.86 bhp, and 115Nm, with manual gearbox
• 1.0 litre turbo-petrole engine with 118.35 bhp, and 172 Nm. It gets two transmission options, either iMT or DCT options.
• 1.5 diesel engine with 114.41 bhp and 250 Nm that will be offered with multiple options of manual, iMT, or automatic transmissions.

The Kia Syros is an advanced product with powerful engines and a competitive price. This will give the challengers in the compact SUV category a run for their money.
