2026 Kia Syros Price in India, Specifications and Features

Kia has officially launched the 2026 edition of the Syros sub-four-metre SUV in India, introducing a range of cosmetic upgrades and a restructured variant line-up. Originally debuted in 2024, the updated model features a revised exterior design with new front and rear bumpers, body-coloured aero inserts and glossy black finishes on the roof rails and ORVMs. The refresh aims to enhance the visual appeal of the tall-boy SUV while maintaining its signature upright stance and premium elements like flush-fitting door handles.

Beyond the aesthetic changes, the South Korean carmaker has expanded the trim options to provide a better distribution of features across different price points. The update includes the introduction of four new trims, HTE, HTE (O), HTK+ (O) and HTX (O), making the SUV more accessible to a wider range of buyers. While the mechanical configurations and the extensive equipment list remain consistent with the previous version, the 2026 Syros offers improved value through its revised pricing strategy and the addition of new exterior colour palettes. Tesla Model Y L 6-Seater Launch in India on April 22; Check Expected Price, Specifications and Features.
