Test drove the new Kia Syros: 7 reasons why I think its underrated

Once a person falls in love with it, they will replace this tall boy designed car with another one.

I had called Kia at Raipur for a test drive. They were kind enough to give me a long test drive.

First Impressions:

• Kia Syros Diesel Automatic Top Variant
• Never judge a book by its cover. Similarly don’t go by the outside looks or measurements. Even though it looks small on the outside, it had a lot of space on the inside.
• I found the front seats to be comfortable. Rear seats were okay too. Rear seats too have a slide and recline function.
• The steering had a flat bottom. Good for ingress and egress.
• The display is crisp and all functions were available.
• It is filled to the brim with features which are needed everyday and some more. The sunroof was massive.
• The car had come with 51 psi +\- 2 tyre pressure. I took it to a nearby petrol station and reduced the pressure to 34Psi across all tyres. This helped improve the ride on breakers.
• I was surprised by the fuel economy. The car returned 10-11 km/L in my drive of 20 km approx. I was surprised by this but 1 other friend confirmed the same.
• We have a tendency to repeat our purchases. Like we purchased 3 Wagon R’s. Like the first one was replaced by the second one and likewise. Similarly 3 Maruti Ritz’s too. Syros is something similar. Once a person falls in love with it, they will replace this tall boy designed car with another one.
• Diesel Automatic Variants are loaded trims. Hence, they are priced on the higher side. 20 big ones for a Sub 4 Meter car.

All in all, it’s a wonderful car with very few misses.
