Visually, the Syros follows Kia’s latest design language used in global markets meaning its design is in line with models such as the Kia EV9, EV5 and EV3. Up front, the car features low-set headlamps with vertically stacked projectors that extend towards the sides, towards the wheel arches. The Syros also sports a large air dam up front, split down the middle. In profile, the Syros has a boxy silhouette, with a flat roofline and a tall glasshouse. Another noticeable design element is the generous use of cladding around the wheel arches. Towards the rear, the Syros gets a unique tail-lamp design with L-shaped units sitting along the edge of the windscreen and secondary lighting units lower on the bumper. The bumper also features a notable use of cladding and a faux skid plate element to give the SUV a more muscular look.
