Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sonet
- Looks better than before with a better lighting setup.
- Added features, borrowed from a segment above, make it one of the most loaded SUV in its segment.
- Most number of powertrain options in the segment, with 3 engines and 5 transmission options to choose from.
- One of the best all rounders in the segment.
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 Sonet
- Borrowing powertrains and features from a segment above has made it pretty expensive.
- Cabin insulation could have been better.
- Turbo-petrol engine option, in Sport mode, feels jerky to drive in traffic.
- Rear seats could have had better cushioning and better space
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.
