Kia Syros Teased Again; Panoramic Sunroof Confirmed | V3Cars

2025 Kia Syros To Get Panoramic Sunroof

The latest teaser video released by Kia India offers a partial glimpse of the Syros’ boxy design. It also confirms the Syros will come equipped with a panoramic sunroof, a much sought-after feature among domestic car buyers. Currently, the Sonet comes with a single-pane sunroof while the Seltos is offered with a panoramic sunroof from the HTK Plus variant onwards. The fact that the Syros will offer a panoramic sunroof suggests Kia will indeed offer the Syros as a more premium compact SUV alternative to the Sonet. Compared to the Sonet, the new Syros will prioritise space and comfort while offering an innovative seating layout and lounge-style interiors.

Apart from the panoramic sunroof, the latest teaser video also gives us a glimpse of the upcoming Kia Syros’ vertically-stacked, tri-LED projector headlamps and L-shaped LED DRLs up front. The rear seems inspired by the latest Kia EV9 SUV as the Syros features a similar L-shaped LED tail lamp and wide rear haunches. Expect the upcoming Kia SUV to feature faux silver skid plates at the front and rear and black cladding all around.

Kia Syros Expected Powertrain Specs

While Kia India are yet to confirm the powertrain options for the Syros, we believe it could get the same engines and gearbox options as the Sonet.

Additionally, the new Kia Syros could also offer an all-electric powertrain at a later stage. We expect the Syros EV to launch only after the Seltos-based EV though.

Kia Syros Expected Price And Rivals

We expect the upcoming Kia Syros to slot above the Sonet, which is priced from Rs. 7.99 lakh. Given its unique positioning, it can afford to carry a high price tag and still attract enough buyers to justify the R&D expenses and setting up the production line.

The question now is: what production capacity are they setting up for this new SUV? If they only choose to set up a small capacity production of say 1,000 - 2,000 (monthly), then you can expect it to cost as high as Rs. 16.0 lakh to Rs. 18.0 lakh and only come in a couple of loaded variants. Such an approach will limit its availability and make it exclusive.

However, if they intend to produce, say 8,000 - 10,000 units a month, then they may price it a bit more attractively to be able to achieve those volumes. In this case, we can expect it to cost between Rs. 12.0 lakh to Rs. 16.0 lakh. That’s still high but it’s justifiable because of its unique value proposition.
