Everything dark is not 'negative', it could be mysterious too. In the case of product launches, it always is about keeping the upcoming product a mystery.

re: Kia Syros: The company's third SUV to slot in between the Sonet & Seltos

Downloaded the Teaser images that Kia has released and played around with photo editing to tease out some more details.

The car looks quite promising to me. Looks like Kia has built on the Seltos platform, but with a boxy shape optimised for space. So we may get a car with space equivalent to a Seltos but with the footprint of a Seltos. A boon for the urban jungle and a formula the Wagon-R has used in the small car segment to good effect. It also reminds me a bit of the upcoming Tata Sierra.

That's a conscious effort to position themselves as the wild/badass option, compared to their traditionally appealing cousins (Hyundai)

The features defnitely makes it more upmarket than Sonet. But I really hope Kia is just being a disrupter for the segment below Sonet just like how they did it with Seltos for that segment.

re: Kia Syros: The company's third SUV to slot in between the Sonet & Seltos

I really like the boxy design of Syros. Looks quite radical. Off late we are witnessing Indian consumers accepting cars with quirky designs (2nd Gen creta, Nexon, Curvv, etc). From the teasers it's evident that Kia loaded this to the gills.

Major drawback of sub 4m cars are the lack of space. Hope Kia addressed this by going for the boxy design unlike Sonet which has a terrible rear seat space. Eagerly waiting for the official unveiling.

Autocar India renders are generally quite accurate, and you can bet your money on them. I’ve said this before, but I’ll repeat it again - I still believe the Syros will be Kia’s entry-level car in India. Price overlap with the Sonet, and possibly even with the base variant of the Seltos, is inevitable. However, I’m of the opinion that the car will have a very attractive, and most likely the lowest, starting price for the base model among all Kia cars. With Kia steadily expanding its dealership network, the Syros could really help the brand gain volume in the market.

I don't think the manufacturer has officially confirmed this, if I'm not wrong.

What if they are going to move Sonet and Seltos up in terms of price-segments and Syros as the starting car of Kia? Next gen Seltos, rumored to be with hybrid option has already spotted testing in India.

Though all looks good, what struck me are the ‘inverted’ audio & ADAS / MID controls on the setting. Generally the Koreans have the audio controls on the left and the other controls i.e. MID / ADAS on the right. Not sure why Kia chose to do it differently here.

Hyundai has done the same on their Verna, If I’m not wrong.

Seems to me like the Kia version of the Hyundai Inster with blackened out C pillar.

re: Kia Syros: The company's third SUV to slot in between the Sonet & Seltos

Kia Syros to get reclining rear seats.

The only other compact SUV with rear seat reclines is the Hyundai Venue.

Kia is aiming to offer a better rear seat experience than its current offering in the segment, the Sonet. One of the ways the Korean brand will ensure that is by offering reclining rear seats on the Syros.

Quote:
Kia Syros expected with more rear seat space than Sonet
Syros will also be more feature-rich than the Sonet
Syros’ price range, powertrains to provide some distinction
Prices are expected to be announced in January at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo
Expect Syros prices to start at around Rs 10 lakh and top out at around Rs 16 lakh.
