In a significant stride for automotive safety in India, the newly launched Kia Syros has achieved a prestigious 5-star rating from the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP). This accomplishment not only underscores Kia's commitment to safety but also sets a new standard in the subcompact SUV segment.
Impressive Crash Test Performance
The Kia Syros underwent rigorous testing, including frontal offset, side impact, and pole side impact assessments. It scored an outstanding 30.21 out of 32 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 44.42 out of 49 in Child Occupant Protection (COP). These scores reflect the vehicle's robust structural integrity and advanced safety features.
Advanced Safety Features Across Variants
From the base model upwards, the Syros is equipped with six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill-start assist, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. Higher trims offer additional features like a 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake, and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.
Powerful and Efficient Engine Options
Under the hood, the Syros offers a choice between a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 118 bhp and a 1.5-litre diesel engine delivering 114 bhp. Both engines are paired with manual and automatic transmission options, catering to diverse driving preferences.
