Kia Announces name of upcoming compact SUV; It will be called the Syros

The name is Syros, Kia Syros !

Kia has revealed that the Syros will be the name of their next small SUV. The Kia Syros, also known internally as the AY, is anticipated to make its global premiere in the upcoming weeks, with a launch date most likely set for early next year.

According to sources, Kia first contemplated calling the small SUV the Clavis, but ultimately decided against it because the Carens and Carnival MPVs begin with a’C’. The firm decided to continue using the ‘S’ in the names of its SUVs, such as the Seltos and Sonet, as the Syros is being marketed as a ‘small SUV’.

As previously reported, the new Syros will set itself apart from rival small SUVs by emphasizing comfort and rear-seat room more. In order to maximize interior capacity, it has a boxy shape with an upright back and a flat top. There are rumors that the Syros is in a league with the Seltos and has greater internal space than the Sonet.

The internal combustion engine version will probably be released first by Kia, followed by the electric vehicle version. Both models will be available with front-wheel drive and share a same basis.The upcoming compact SUV will be positioned above the existing crop of the sub-4m SUVs, like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, and also the recently launched Skoda Kylaq.

Syros will be a groundbreaking vehicle that embodies the perfect blend of new age stunning bold design, advanced technology, and mythological heritage. Syros will be the first Kia 2.0 SUV offering after Carnival and EV9. It will represent a new chapter in Kia’s journey, blending tradition with innovation.
