Kia Syros Delivery Timeline
Until now, Kia hasn’t revealed the prices of the different Syros variants (and there are quite a few). However, that will change on February 1, 2025, which is the official release date for the vehicle. After the release, the company will start delivering units in mid-February.
The Syros should also arrive at showrooms around the same time as its release date. Once that happens, customers can check out the vehicle in person and take test drives to make up their minds.
Kia Syros: A Brief Overview
For those catching up, the new Kia Syros is based on the same platform (K1) as the Inster EV. Though the vehicle measures the same length as the Sonet, it is wider and taller than the popular offering. The additional millimeters add more space to the inside of the car.

We already know that the Syros SUV will be available in six variants: HTK (the base variant), HTK (O), HTK+, HTX, HTX+, and HTX+ (O). There’s a possibility that the company could add a new HTE after a few months, but nothing can be said about it with surety.
