Scoop: 2025 Kia Syros Details — All You Need To Know (Top Features, Specs, Variants) | V3Cars

Update: Full ADAS is for top model only --- HTX Plus (O). Earlier, we had accidently mentioned ADAS being available in HTX (O).

2025 Kia Syros Top Unique Features

The Syros will get the following unique features:

• 3-screen setup
  • 12.3-inch instrument cluster
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen (Available from HTK (O) onwards)
  • 5-inch auto AC controls
• Rear seat slide and recline (29 degrees)
• Rear seat ventilation (Seat base only)
• 8-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system
• Full ADAS suite (HTX Plus (O) only): We expect to see the following ADAS features in the Syros:
  • Forward collision warning
  • Forward collision avoidance assist (Car, pedestrian, cyclist, junction turning)
  • Lane departure warning
  • Lane following assist
  • Lane keep assist
  • Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go
  • Leading vehicle departure alert
  • Auto high beam
  • Driver attention warning
  • Blind spot collision warning
  • Blind spot collision avoidance assist
  • Rear cross traffic collision warning
  • Rear cross traffic collision avoidance assist
  • Safe exit warning
  • Blind-spot monitoring in instrument cluster
• Flush outside door handles (manual only)
• Panoramic sunroof (HTX & HTX (O))

The main USP of the Syros seems to be rear seat ventilation with slide and recline. Rest all of the features are also available in the Mahindra 3XO. So, it's mostly Kia playing catchup to earn back the tag of most feature-loaded B2 SUV.

2025 Kia Syros Engine Specifications

The Syros will get the following powertrain options:

• 1.0L turbo petrol with 6-speed manual
• 1.0L turbo petrol with 7-speed DCT automatic
• 1.5L turbo diesel with 6-speed manual
• 1.5L turbo diesel with 6-speed TC automatic

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

It’s interesting to see that the Kia Syros won’t get auto-clutch manual transmission. The 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.

Kia Syros 2025 Variant-Powertrain Combinations

The Syros will come in the following variants:

• HTK
• HTK (O)
• HTK Plus
• HTX
• HTX Plus
• HTX Plus (O)

Here’s a look at the variant-powertrain combinations of the upcoming Kia Syros 2025 based on the leaked information:

2025 Kia Syros Dimensions

The following table presents the dimension details of the Syros 2025:

*Tyre size is estimated; wheel size is based on leaked information

The most notable thing here is that the Kia Syros will get 17-inch alloy wheels. It’s not the first B2 SUV to get the 17-inch wheel option. The XUV300 was the first but then Mahindra dropped that feature only to re-introduce it with the XUV 3XO. Now, the Skoda Kylaq is another car with 17-inch wheels in the B2 SUV space.

Another notable thing here is that this is the first time one of the variants of their car will get their 1.0L turbo petrol engine AND 15-inch wheels. Lower rotating mass of the smaller wheels with a punchy turbo petrol engine should make it a fun car to drive. While you may not be able to notice any performance differences if the wheel size is only 1-inch larger. But, between the 15-inch wheels of the base variant and the 17-inch of the top variant, there will certainly be enough difference that even a non-enthusiast will be able to perceive it.

How To Pronounce Kia Syros?

Kia would like you to pronounce Syros as ‘See-Ross’. The presence of ‘Y’ in the name makes us want to naturally pronounce it as ‘Saaye-Ross’.

Thankfully, the pronunciation is also heavily dependent on the person’s natural accents. As long  as the message gets communicated in a clear manner without any ambiguity, there’s nothing wrong with calling it even ‘Saa-Ross’ or whatever you like.

Kia Syros Colour Options

The Syros 2025 will get the following 8 colour options:

• Metallic white
• Silver
• Blue
• Grey
• Red
• Black
• Green
• Light blue

Frost blue (similar to light blue) is a new colour for the Indian market and it first debuted with the Kia EV3:

It’s unclear if the last 2 colours (Pewter Olive/Green and Frost Blue/Light Blue) will be available from day 1 or come at a later date.
