In this article, we’ll compare the dimensions of the Kia Syros with that of the Sonet and Seltos SUVs. The 2025 Kia Syros is set to launch on December 19, 2024. Although the Syros will compete in the B2-segment alongside the Sonet, it is expected to offer a more luxurious interior with premium features, including a panoramic sunroof.

Kia Sonet, Syros And Seltos Dimensions Compared

Kia Syros Vs Sonet Vs Seltos – Dimensions Comparison

Check out the table below to see how the new Kia Syros’ dimensions compare against the Sonet and Seltos SUVs:

KIA SYROS VS SONET VS SELTOS DIMENSIONS COMPARED
Model	Syros	Sonet	Seltos
Length	3995mm	3995mm	4365mm
Width	1800mm	1790mm	1800mm
Height	1665mm	1610mm	1620mm
Wheelbase	2550mm	2500mm	2610mm
Boot Space	393L	385L	433L

While the Kia Syros and Sonet share the same length, that’s where their similarities end. The Syros is 10mm wider, 55mm taller and has a 50mm longer wheelbase than the Sonet. Thanks to the slightly larger dimensions, the Kia Syros is expected to offer a more spacious cabin than the Sonet, especially in terms of shoulder and headroom. The longer wheelbase also results in an 8 litre larger boot. Additionally, the Kia Syros will offer reclinable 2nd row seats. Only the Hyundai Venue and the now-discontinued Ford EcoSport offer this feature in the B2 segment.

The Kia Seltos, which is a C-segment SUV, is 370mm longer than the Syros. However, it is 45mm shorter than the Syros. Both SUVs share the same width of 1800mm. The Seltos, however, offers a 60mm longer wheelbase, resulting in a 40 litre larger boot. The additional height of the Syros should help it offer more headroom for all passengers. Although the Syros is not as long as the Seltos, we expect both SUVs to offer similar amounts of legroom.

Kia Syros Powertrain Options

Here’s a look at the engine specifications of the Kia Syros:

KIA SYROS 2025 PETROL, DIESEL ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS
Powertrain	Petrol	Diesel
Engine	1.0L turbo	1.5L turbo
Displacement	998cc	1497cc
Cylinder	3	4
Power	120PS @ 6000rpm	116PS @ 4000rpm
Torque	172Nm @ 1500 - 4000rpm	250Nm @ 1500 - 2750rpm
Manual	6-speed	6-speed
Automatic	7-speed DCT	6-speed TC

It’s interesting to see that the Kia Syros won’t get auto-clutch manual transmission. Customers seem to have rejected this transmission, which is why in the last year or so, Kia have begun offering full-manual (3-pedal) with their engines — at least as an option.

However, the Syros will be the first car in Kia’s portfolio to get the 1.0L turbo petrol engine with a full-manual transmission.
