Kia Syros ProsA well-engineered all-rounder with lots of tricks up its sleeveRadical styling makes it stand out in a crowdHas a sturdy build and excellent fit & finishAvailable with turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel engines, both offering optional ATsMature on-road behaviour, including at highway speeds. Good brakes as wellExcellent use of interior space with comfortable seating for 4 adults and useful storage areas. Rear seat space is fantastic!

You’ll either love it or hate itFirm suspension. Liveable, but bad roads will bother you (especially on 17″ wheel variants)Back seat’s width makes it better for 2 adults and a kid, rather than 3 adultsDual-clutch ATs (like the Petrol DCT) have a history of poor reliability in IndiaBuzz felt on idling in the cabin (1.5L diesel). Diesel’s engine noise could be better controlled tooOutput from the Harman-Kardon sound system is just averageHave to mention the misses (thinner spare tyre on top trims, rain-sensing wipers…)Cheaper & simpler 1.5L naturally-aspirated petrol isn’t on offer (nor is its butter-smooth CVT)Read Team-BHP’s detailed 2025 Kia Syros Review here.
