Frost blue shade on the Syros is one of the popular choices.

The soon-to-be-launched Kia Syros’ top two trims are seeing more bookings than the rest of its line-up, thanks to unique features such as rear-seat ventilation, say dealers. Bookings for the Kia Syros have crossed the 10,000 mark ahead of its February 1 price announcement. The Syros is Kia’s second compact SUV for India and made its public appearance at the Auto Expo earlier this month.
