2025’s Kia Syros Compact SUV: All Key Details
A number of new models, including the next-generation Carnival premium MPV, the EV9 flagship seven-seater electric SUV, a brand-new compact SUV, and a variety of other electric vehicles, are about to be released by Kia India. The company has been testing a car on public roads that is rumored to be internally designated the Clavis.
The Clavis from Kia, which takes its cue from the widely popular Soul, will have noticeable design features including tall pillars and upright proportions.There will be several powertrain options available for the Clavis, including BEV and hybrid configurations.
The trademark registration of the Kia Clavis in India suggests that the ICE version of the car will probably be released under the production name Kia Syros. It seems like a smart decision for Kia to introduce another high-volume SUV in the Indian market, especially after their successful efforts with the Seltos and Sonet. At least in its base trim levels, the well-known 1.2L NA petrol engine is anticipated to power the Kia Syros.
It is anticipated that the Kia Syros will continue to produce 114 Nm of peak torque and 82 horsepower. An automatic manual transmission or a five-speed manual might be fitted to this powerplant. There is also a chance that a CNG version will be offered. In addition, Kia might think about expanding the Syros lineup to include a more powerful 1.0L turbocharged petrol engine.
Six airbags will be included as standard equipment on all Kia Syros models, providing complete occupant protection. A wide range of cutting-edge technologies, including as a digital instrument dashboard, automated climate control, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a sunroof, disc brakes on all four wheels, an ADAS, and more, might be available on the top-spec model.
In addition, the Kia Syros will include leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and 16-inch alloy wheels with diamond cuts. The Syros is anticipated to provide a roomy cabin and plenty of boot space because of its greater dimensions in comparison to the Sonet, as well as its lofty pillars and longer wheelbase. It may also be exported from India and introduced to international markets.
