Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens
- Looks unique, in a good way.
- Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
- Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
- Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
- Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
- Automatic transmission option with both engines
Kia Syros
- Rear seat space: a 6’5” tall person can fit behind a 6’ tall driver. Slide and recline function makes it super versatile.
- 390-465-litre boot space: on par with SUVs from one segment above. 60:40 split rear seats on offer too.
- Interior quality, fit, finish is among the best in class.
- Segment best feature set: Panoramic sunroof, L2 ADAS, 360° camera, 30” panoramic display.
- Choice of 1-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Both available with an automatic.

Kia Carens
- Missing some premium features
- Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
- 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile
Kia Syros
- Ride quality is likely to feel slightly bouncy on highways.
- Fuel efficiency of turbo-petrol engine in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic is known to be poor.
