The front fascia will have bigger, and aggressive-looking Tiger-nose grille, and cube-shaped LED headlamps with DRLs, which are stacked vertically, and appears identical to the ones offered in the latest Carnival. 

The Kia Syros comes with van-like silhouette with plain surfaces and a blacked-out C-pillars, squared-off wheel arches and muscular roof rails. The teaser also confirms that the lifestyle SUV gets flush-mounted door handles. The rear has L-shaped tail-lights, which seems not connected via LED bar.
