Kia has released a teaser of its upcoming compact SUV for the Indian market. The new sub-4 metre SUV could be called 'Syros' and is expected to go on sale sometime next year.

The teaser reveals an unconventional design inspired by the Kia EV9. The compact SUV has an upright front fascia with vertical LED DRLs and L-shaped LED taillights at the back. Other exterior details include flush-fitting door handles, blacked-out C-pillars and roof rails.

The new compact SUV from Kia is likely to feature a dual-tone interior with a 2-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel and dual screens. The car could get features like ADAS, front parking sensors, a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera.

Kia’s new compact SUV is expected to be positioned above the Sonet and could be offered with both ICE and electric powertrain options.
