There is much to discuss about Kia Syros's distinctive, boxy design. It is seen by some as refreshingly different and practical, by others as unappealing. But it does raise questions about how well the design will age over time. Sometimes cars with unconventional design can become iconic, like the Skoda Yeti, sometimes they can look dated very quickly. The Syros is clearly a function oriented design, a boxy shape in order to maximize interior space. But in a market where sporty, sleek designs are common, especially in the compact SUV segment, the Syros is a standout. But there's doubt as to whether its looks will grow on people over time, or if it will forever be seen as an oddity. It is especially important for those who are thinking about keeping the car for many years.
