Kia Syros Fuel Efficiency Figures Revealed

Kia India will announce the prices of the Syros on February 1, 2025, and ahead of that, it has announced the fuel efficiency figures of its second subcompact SUV. The Syros comes with two engine options – a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine a 1.5-litre diesel engine. 

The petrol engine has a fuel efficiency figure of up to 18.20 kmpl (claimed), while the diesel engine has a fuel efficiency of up to 20.75 kmpl (claimed). Both these figures are for 6-speed manual transmissions. Surprisingly, the 1.5-litre diesel with the 6-speed automatic has the least claimed fuel efficiency figure, 17.65 kmpl, which is even lower than the 17.68 kmpl figure of the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol with the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. 

Kia India has already amassed more than 10,000 bookings and its production is underway at the brand’s Anantapur plant in Andhra Pradesh. Bookings for the Syros commenced on January 3, 2025, and it can be booked by paying a token amount of ₹25,000. 

The Syros packs a lot of features which are segment firsts. It comes with a triple-display setup with two 12.3-inch units (one for the infotainment and the other for the driver’s display) and a 5-inch screen to control the HVAC panel. It also gets rear seat recline and sliding functionality as well as ventilation, a feature seen in cars from a few segments above. 

Prices for the Syros are expected to start around ₹9.5 lakh and could go up to ₹15.5 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It will rival the likes of the Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3X0, Hyundai Venue and even Kia’s own Sonet.
