Blue Kia Syros compact SUV

The Kia Syros specifications give a real choice of turbo petrol or diesel power. Both engines pair with more than one gearbox, so the spec sheet rewards a close read. There is no plain petrol, so every choice has real character.

The 1.0 litre turbo petrol makes 118 bhp and 172 Nm, offered with a 6 speed manual or a 7 speed DCT. The 1.5 litre diesel makes 114 bhp and a strong 250 Nm. That torque band runs from 1500 to 2750 rpm for solid mid range pull. It comes with a manual or a 6 speed automatic.

On fuel, the diesel manual leads at 20.75 kmpl, with the diesel automatic at 17.65 kmpl. The turbo manual is quoted at 18.2 kmpl and the DCT at 17.68 kmpl. Real world figures drop in heavy traffic and with hard driving. To line these up, compare the Syros mileage by engine.

The body measures 3995 mm long and 1680 mm tall on a 2550 mm wheelbase. That height creates the roomy cabin and the 465 litre boot. Sliding rear seats let you trade cabin room for boot space when needed. Ground clearance of 190 mm helps on broken roads, and the tank holds 45 litres. You can also weigh up each Syros trim price.

Seen together, the figures explain why the Syros feels bigger than it is. A tall body, strong torque and a flexible rear seat do the heavy lifting. It is easy to park and easy to load, a genuinely usable small SUV. It is a practical spec sheet with a peppy side.

Kia Syros power and torque explained

The Kia Syros gives you a genuine choice of engines. There is a 1.0 litre turbo petrol and a 1.5 litre diesel, and the two feel quite different to drive.

The diesel is the low-down puller, with a thick 250 Nm ready from just 1500 rpm. The turbo petrol would rather rev, saving its full 120 PS for 6000 rpm high up the dial.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.5L CRDi VGT Diesel spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.5 litre diesel is the muscle of the range. Its full 250 Nm lands at just 1500 rpm and holds to 2750 rpm, so it surges away from low down. Peak power is 116 PS at 4000 rpm, giving a wide 2500 rpm band of strong pull that lets you hold one gear through most city and highway driving. It feels effortless with a full car, so pick it if you rack up big miles or often drive loaded. The diesel trims that pair this engine with an automatic are worth comparing before you commit.

The 1.0 litre turbo petrol is the lighter, keener choice. It serves 172 Nm from 1500 rpm and holds it flat to 4000 rpm, so it feels nippy around town with little effort. Full power of 120 PS comes high at 6000 rpm, so this engine likes to be revved, and its broad 4500 rpm band keeps a strong kick ready for overtakes. It suits city commutes and daily errands, and it opens the Syros range on the entry turbo trim. To see what that costs where you live, look up the turbo petrol on-road prices for your city.
