Kia India has introduced the Model Year 2026 update to its Syros SUV, adding four new trims — HTE, HTE(O), HTK+(O) and HTX(O) and revising prices to start at ₹8,39,900 (ex-showroom), with the stated aim of making the car's automatic and diesel powertrain options accessible to a wider set of buyers.
The MY26 update extends diesel automatic availability from the HTK+ trim upwards, priced from ₹12,73,900. Previously, the diesel automatic was not available at that price point. Across the revised lineup, the company has redistributed features to cover a broader range of trims.
On the exterior, the Syros MY26 receives a new front bumper with body-coloured aero inserts, glossy black skid plates and LED fog lamps. The rear gets a new bumper and an LED high-mounted stop lamp. Glossy black roof rails, ORVMs and body-coloured side garnish are added to the side profile.
The HTX and HTX(O) trims receive new R17 (43.66 cm) crystal cut alloy wheels with neon-coloured brake calipers. Three new colour options: Magma Red, Ivory Silver Matte and Ivory Silver Gloss are also introduced.
Retained features include the 76.2 cm Trinity Panoramic Display, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, ventilated front and rear seats, second-row recline and slide with 60:40 split, and the five-star BNCAP safety rating.
"Customer insights have guided the Syros MY26 evolution, with design enhancements and a revised trim and feature lineup delivering more meaningful value, along with greater choice across trims and powertrains. Syros has been highly recognized by the auto experts, winning multiple awards since launch. And this latest update further strengthens its appeal to a wider set of customers. This thoughtful evolution exemplifies Kia's consumer-first innovation, blending great cabin space, and comfort with city-friendly agility while making premium convenience more accessible than ever. We invite customers to visit their nearest Kia dealerships to experience the Syros MY26," said Atul Sood, Sr. Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Kia India.
