Kia Syros Milestone – Surpasses 15,000 Unit Sales Mark with Strong Market Demand

Published On:
Kia Syros

Kia India has struck gold once again, this time with its latest compact SUV – the Syros. Launched on 1 February 2025, the Syros has already crossed 15,986 units in sales, proving that it’s not just another SUV in the already crowded sub-four-metre segment. With its fresh design, modern tech features, and competitive pricing, it’s no surprise that buyers are showing strong interest.

In March alone, Kia clocked a total of 25,525 unit sales across its lineup, and the Syros clearly played a key role in boosting those numbers.

Launch

When Kia rolled out the Syros, it had one goal in mind – to dominate the compact SUV space. And judging by the early numbers, it’s off to a strong start. Priced from Rs. 9 lakh (ex-showroom), the Syros has been positioned as a tech-loaded, value-for-money package. Available in six variants—HTK, HTK (O), HTK Plus, HTX, HTX Plus, and HTX Plus (O)—the lineup has something for every kind of buyer, whether you’re after the basics or all the bells and whistles.

Features

The Syros isn’t just about price—it’s about presence and features. For starters, you get ventilated seats in both front and rear rows, which is a big plus in Indian summers. There’s a dedicated screen for AC controls, making the cabin feel more high-tech and premium.

But the standout feature has to be the Level 2 ADAS suite. It’s rare to find such advanced safety and driver-assist features in this price bracket. Combine that with a panoramic sunroof, and recline and slide functions for the rear seats, and you’ve got a package that feels like it belongs to a segment above.

Variants

Here’s a quick look at the six variants of the Syros:

VariantKey Features
HTKStandard features, manual transmission
HTK (O)Adds more convenience and infotainment updates
HTK PlusEnhanced styling and touchscreen upgrades
HTXMid-range with premium interior finishes
HTX PlusIncludes ADAS, sunroof, advanced controls
HTX Plus (O)Top-end variant with full feature list

Engine

Kia has also made sure the Syros delivers on performance. You get two engine options—a 1.0-litre turbo petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Both can be paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, offering flexibility depending on your driving style and usage. Whether you’re tackling city traffic or cruising down highways, the Syros is built to handle both with ease.

Competition

The compact SUV market in India is super competitive, but the Syros seems ready for the fight. It’s going head-to-head with the likes of:

  • Tata Nexon
  • Mahindra XUV 3XO
  • Hyundai Venue
  • Skoda Kylaq
  • Maruti Suzuki Brezza
  • Renault Kiger
  • Nissan Magnite

That’s a serious lineup, but the Syros brings enough to the table—tech, looks, and features—to make a strong case for itself.

With this kind of performance just two months post-launch, the Syros is clearly striking the right chord with Indian car buyers. It blends premium features with sensible pricing, and that’s a combo that never goes out of style.
