Do the Kia Syros' sliding rear seats actually make sense, or are they just a gimmick?

For someone tall with a small kid, it’s amazing. And I can have my seat all the way back and still have the kid comfortable behind me. These small things can make a big difference in the daily use.
Is this a fancy WagonR or does the Kia Syros have what it takes to be a game changer for urban families?

This is definitely more than just a fancy WagonR. Sliding rear seats and ventilated seats are the game changers for families. Yes it is boxy, but this allows for more interior space. For a family car, I’d take practicality over looks any day.

Just a glorified WagonR with a Kia badge, come on. A few features don't justify a price hike. If I wanted a practical family car, I could have bought the Maruti Ertiga that is a proven product.

I dont think its fair to compare it with the WagonR. Clearly this is targeting a different segment. It's a compact package, but the features and the space it offers, it's more of bigger cars. For families needing space but living in tight city parking, it could be perfect.

Game-changer? Hardly. This is Kia attempting to start a new segment for the purpose of justifying higher prices. It's a mess of a design, and I don't think it'll age well. A proper compact SUV like Sonet or Venue would have families in a better state.

I actually like the design. It's different and it's noticeable. And the practicality factor is huge too. In this segment, sliding rear seats is a big deal. This could be a hit with young families who want something practical but don't want to look like they are driving their dad's car if the price is right.
Will the Kia Syros eat up sales from the Sonet and Seltos or find its own space?
06 January 2025 07:32
I believe it'll find its own niche. Its sliding rear seats and boxy design are unique enough to draw in the right set of buyers. If you don't want the bulk but need SUV like space, this is just the thing.

Clearly, Sonet sales are going to be eaten into. So why would anyone buy a Sonet when you can get more space and features for a bit more money in the Syros? Kia are shooting themselves in the foot here.

I don't think it'll cannibalize a lot of sales. The Syros is more of a tall hatchback, the Sonet and Seltos are proper SUVs. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

In fact, it might end up helping Kia get more market share. The middle option is now for those who find the Sonet too small and the Seltos too big. Kia has done a smart move to fill every possible gap in the market.

I fear it's just going to confuse buyers. This seems to be trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist when Kia already has a solid lineup. Instead they should have worked on improving the Sonet.

06 January 2025 07:32
Honestly, it could go either way. It could create a new segment if priced right. But if it gets too close to the Sonet or Seltos in terms of pricing, it will definitely cannibalize sales. This one is a tricky one for Kia to tread.
For its price, can the Kia Syros challenge the Hyundai Exter?

But let’s not forget the Sonet still exists, which can be had for a good deal less money. That said, if priced too close to the Sonet, it will be tough to sell. Kia has to be really careful with its positioning here.
Are sliding back seats on the Kia Syros a gimmick, or a game changer?
24 December 2024 15:42
The real question is how much cargo space you do actually gain. But if it’s a few centimeters, then it doesn’t make sense to spend the additional complexity and cost.
Will the Kia Syros steal sales from Sonet or Seltos?
24 December 2024 15:42
I expect a price war – watch this space. To make this work, and to maintain profit margins, Kia will need to adjust prices through the range. That might be good news for us buyers!
Is the Kia Syros too boxy for its own good?
23 December 2024 07:19
I actually dig the boxy look! After seeing too many cars try to be swoopy and aerodynamic, it's refreshing to see a car that remains utterly unapologetic in all its rounded glory. That shape has plus points, though: With more headroom and a roomier feel inside.
Is the Kia Syros too boxy for its own good?
23 December 2024 07:19
Nah, it's too much. It looks like a Rubik's cube had a baby with a delivery van. It’s all practicality but surely there has to be a way to have a roomy interior without the look of a rolling shoebox.
Is the Kia Syros too boxy for its own good?
23 December 2024 07:19
It's growing on me, honestly. First I thought it was ugly, but then the more I see it, the more I enjoy the boldness. In other words it's the Kia Soul's bigger, more practical cousin.

I think it's suited for the Indian market. As much as we love our space in it, this design screams practicality. It's not the prettiest thing on the road, who cares as long as it can swallow all your luggage?
Is the Kia Syros too boxy for its own good?

That’s definitely polarizing, but perhaps that could be a good thing. Amid a sea of samey looking crossovers, the Syros is a breath of fresh air. Buyers will want something different and won’t be afraid to attract attention, good or bad.
