Acko Drive Best of Show at Auto Expo 2025: Kia Wins Best Interactive Experience Award For Syros Smart Drive Experience

Kia India had a very interesting interactive experience at its pavilion at the Auto Expo 2025. For this, Kia India bagged the Best Interactive Experience Award at the Acko Drive Best of Show at Auto Expo 2025 for its interactive simulator for the Syros allowing the public to experience the car first-hand. Acko Drive’s editor-in-chief, Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, has been key in organising the awards for years where we recognise the best candidates at the Auto Expos. Alongside him, the jury included eminent names like Yogendra Pratap, Renuka Kirpalani, Hani Musthafa and members of the Acko Drive team. 

The Syros Smart Drive Experience had a Syros parked at the pavilion, surrounded by screens, giving the visitors a feel of what the subcompact SUV would be like to drive. It also gave the audience a chance to experience the interior of the new Kia Syros. But the interesting part was the interactive setup from the Korean carmaker which had a simulator 

Kia India’s second subcompact SUV made its global debut late last year but its prices will be announced on February 1. The Syros comes with a triple-screen layout - a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch virtual cluster and a 5-inch HVAC panel. It also comes with front and rear seat ventilation, a panoramic sunroof, ADAS and many more features. It also gets a choice of two engine options – a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. 

Other noteworthy nominees include MG My Moment, which won the Best Immersive Display award, Mercedes-Benz G-Turn, Hyundai ADAS, BMW Drifting and the TVS Console Experience for Android Auto.
