Along with a ton of luxurious creature luxuries, the list also has some helpful safety technology.
The Kia Syros and Skoda Kylaq are two of the most recent models to enter the sub-4m SUV market. Both are high-end SUV models with an abundance of safety features and technology. Nevertheless, the Syros is anticipated to be priced marginally higher than the current lineup of sub-4m SUVs, which includes the Kylaq. The top ten attributes that the Syros will have over the Skoda SUV are listed in this article.
Bigger Screens
Both of the Syros’s 12.3-inch screens—one for the infotainment and one for the instrumentation—can be customized based on the drive modes, and the latter supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The all-digital driver’s display is only available on the higher-spec HTX Plus and HTX Plus (O) variants, while the 12.3-inch touchscreen is available starting with the entry-level HTK variant.
Between the two larger screens that can be used to manage the climate, the Syros additionally has a little 5-inch screen that is only available on the higher models.
Panoramic Sunroof
A sunroof is currently one of the most desired amenities in automobiles. The Syros has a larger panoramic sunroof, whereas the Kylaq just has a single-pane one. Kia provides it starting with the Syros’s mid-spec HTK Plus model.
Rear Seat Ventilation
Additionally, the Syros has a segment-first feature: back seat ventilation. Additionally, for the first time in the market, it has adjustable rear seats. The mid-spec HTK Plus version of the Syros is equipped with rear seat reclining and sliding, while the higher-spec HTX Plus and HTX Plus (O) trims are the only ones with this functionality.
360-degree Camera
A 360-degree camera is one of the most popular convenience and safety features that consumers today choose since it reduces blind spots and makes parking easier. While the Skoda SUV only has a rudimentary back parking camera, the Syros is equipped with this feature. The 360-degree layout is only available on the range-topping HTX Plus (O) edition of the Kia SUV.
64-colour Ambient Lighting
With its 64-color ambient lighting arrangement, the Syros is the best in its class. Choosing a color for the door pad, center console, and dashboard is possible. It is exclusively available on the higher-spec HTX Plus and HTX Plus (O) models from Kia.
Front And Side Parking Sensors
Parking sensors are another helpful safety element, particularly in congested parking lots or in urban traffic. Kia has gone above and above by adding front and side parking sensors to the Syros, even though both SUVs have rear parking sensors. While side sensors are exclusive to the HTX Plus (O) trim, front parking sensors are standard on the Syros.
Air Purifier
An air purifier is among the high-end devices that should be included in automobiles. Kia has maintained this practical feature in all of its mass-market vehicles with the Syros. Only the more expensive HTX Plus and HTX Plus (O) trims have it.
ADAS
One of the newest SUVs on the market with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is the Syros. It has Level-2 ADAS technology, which includes automated emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assistance. The HTX Plus (O) variation is your sole option if you want the Syros with ADAS.
8-speaker Music System
The Syros comes with an 8-speaker Harman Kardon system, while the Kylaq receives a 6-speaker system. Even the 8-speaker branded audio system is exclusive to the top two trims, HTX Plus and HTX Plus (O), like many other goodies on this list.
Electronic Parking Brake
By adding an electronic parking brake with an auto-hold feature, Kia has further improved the Syros’ safety package. It starts with the mid-spec HTX version. Rear disc brakes are also included with the Syros, although only in the automatic versions.
Bonus- Dashcam In Lower Variant
Nowadays, a dashcam in a car is a useful safety device. The dual-camera dashcam configuration that is offered on the HTX Plus model is what Kia is delivering on the Syros.
Kia Syros Launch And Expected Price
Prices for the Kia Syros are expected to start at Rs 9.70 lakh (ex-showroom) when it goes on sale on February 1. The Mahindra XUV 3XO, Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, and Renault Kiger are some of the vehicles that the Syros will compete with in addition to the Skoda Kylaq.
