Sitting alongside it is the gear lever for what looks to be an automatic gearbox. Moving further up we see a wireless charging pad and type-C USB charging ports at the base of the centre console.

On the powertrain front, expect the Syros to offer both petrol and diesel powertrain options with more details likely to be revealed in the build-up to its global debut.
