Kia has filed a new trademark in India for the 'Kia Syros' nametag. Latest reports suggest that the upcoming Clavis compact SUV could called Syros at launch.

As per the trademark filing, the Kia Corporation applied for it on March 19, 2024, and it was 'Accepted and Advertised' on April 29, 2024. The new compact SUV is expected to be launched in India by the end of this year. It will be positioned between the Sonet and Seltos. 

Spy images suggest that the Clavis / Syros is likely to get features like ADAS and front parking sensors, a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system. Top-spec models could get a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and more.
