2026 Kia Syros gets styling enhancements and expanded variant list while the engine and powertrain options have been retained
Kia India has introduced the updated MY26 version of the Kia Syros with a refreshed design, expanded variant lineup and improved accessibility to premium features. Prices now start at Rs 8.39 lakh (ex-showroom) and the biggest update comes in the form of a revised trim structure.
The Korean auto major has brought in new variants including HTE, HTE(O), HTK+(O) and HTX(O). Additionally, the brand has expanded automatic options especially for diesel customers with automatic transmission now available from the HTK+ trim onwards. On the styling front, the MY26 update brings noticeable visual enhancements.
The front fascia gets a sportier and more prominent look with a redesigned bumper, body-coloured aero inserts and glossy black skid plates integrated with LED fog lamps. At the rear, the bumper has been reworked along with a new LED high-mounted stop lamp. The side profile also looks sharper thanks to gloss black roof rails, ORVMs and body-coloured side garnishes.
