Kia Syros Surpasses 20,000 Bookings; Top Variants Account for 46% of Demand

The brand-new Kia Syros has amassed over 20,163 orders in India, driven by strong demand for petrol variants, which account for 67% of sales. Diesel models, on the other hand, make up 33% of customer preferences. Kia states that buyers are showing a strong inclination towards upscale features, with nearly half (46%) opting for the higher trim levels. As for colours, Glacier White Pearl is the most popular option, making up 32% of all bookings, followed by Aurora Black Pearl and Frost Blue, which account for 26% and 20% of orders, respectively. The Kia Syros compact SUV is priced from Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base HTK petrol-manual variant, going up to Rs 17.80 lakh for the fully-loaded diesel-AT variant with ADAS.
