Kia India is all set to introduce a brand new model – the Syros – which will debut in India on December 19. The new model will slot between the Sonet and Seltos in the carmaker’s portfolio. Kia has been teasing this upcoming SUV for some time now and if these teasers have made you keen to know more about it, here’s what you can expect:
Boxy Exterior Design
Recent teasers of the Kia Syros suggest that it will feature a boxy shape inspired by the Kia Carnival and Kia EV9. The design sketches suggest large window panels, a kinked beltline near the C-pillar, squared out wheel arches, a prominent shoulder line and flush door handles. At the front, the teasers reveal vertically stacked 3-pod LED headlights and LED DRLs, while the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) seem to incorporate turn indicators. It will also have sleek L-shaped tail lights, elongated roof rails, and a flat tailgate, completing the boxy aesthetic.
