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 iMT 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 iMT returns 18.2 kmpl and the DCT 17.68 kmpl on the rated cycle. 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.
