Kia Cyros compact SUV will be equipped with many modern features including panoramic sunroof and ADAS.
Kia India recently confirmed the name of its upcoming compact SUV Sciros and it is now set to debut on December 19, 2024. The Kia Sciros will be positioned between the Sonet and Seltos in the brand’s domestic lineup, offering a new option in the highly competitive 5-seater compact SUV space.
The Kia Sciros is set to offer larger dimensions which enhance interior space and practicality. The teaser shows a bold front design, with vertically stacked LED projector headlamps and slim vertical LED DRLs. Its styling is inspired by models like EV9 and Soul.
The compact SUV has straight pillars and a flat roof and we expect it to be spacious. Its rear design is highlighted by L-shaped LED tail lamps that integrate with the pillars, adding to its boxy silhouette. The Kia Sciros will offer three engine options, which will include a 1.0 liter turbocharged three-cylinder petrol, 1.2 liter NA petrol and a 1.5 liter four-cylinder diesel engine.
The Kia Sciros will likely offer a variety of transmission options including a 6-speed manual and dual-clutch automatic units. The interiors will come with modern features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital instrument console with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Additionally, the equipment list will include ventilated front seats, layered dashboard design, automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof as well as ADAS technology. It will get six airbags, ESC, EPB, traction control, 360-degree camera system, adjustable headrest, wireless smartphone charger, rear AC vents and more as standard.
Kia may expand the Sciros lineup in the future with the introduction of hybrid powertrain options and a fully electric version. Apart from this, the company will also launch Kia Carens facelift next year and it is expected that the electric version of Sonet will also be launched next year.
