The Kia Syros has been my daily partner for a while now, helping me with my 50km office commute through heavy traffic and rainy days. Overall, it has been a mix of good and not-so-good experiences.
What I Like:
- The auto-hold function makes traffic jams easier to deal with.
- A rear wiper is very useful in rains and even works automatically in reverse gear.
- Cup holders that fold away when not in use, and can store small things like keys or a wallet.
- Keyless entry and start make life easier.
- The 360-degree camera and blind-spot monitor are a big help while parking or avoiding careless bikers.
- The second-row seats are spacious and comfortable, with good legroom. Ventilated seats also add comfort.
What Could Be Better:
- The fuel efficiency is low for a diesel automatic, giving only about 11kmpl.
- The engine feels noisy at higher revs and doesn’t feel as refined as in other Kia models.
- The headlamp throw is weak, which can be tricky on dark roads.
- The door handles confuse some passengers as they don’t pop out automatically like in other premium cars.
