Ahead of the official reveal, dimensions and specifications of the SUV have been leaked on the Internet.

Kia Syros Vs Seltos Dimensions

The Syros will be a sub-4 meter car and will be marketed as a lifestyle SUV. It rides on bigger wheelbase compared to the Sonet, which suggests that Kia's focus will be on offering spacious cabin and bigger boot. 

Syros Dimensions - it will measure 3,995mm in length, 1800mm in width and 1,665mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,550mm. The leaked info reveals that the new Kia Syros will offer a boot space of 465-litres, which is one of the biggest in its category. 

Seltos Dimensions - it is a mid-sized SUV and rivals the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara and others in the category.

Despite being a sub-4 meter SUV, the Syros offers a bigger boot compared to the Seltos. The Syros wheelbase is around 55mm longer than the Sonet, and 55mm shorter than the Seltos. Due to the boxy design, the Kia Syros manages to extract more space in boot. The Seltos is around 370mm longer than the Syros. However, the sub-4 meter SUV is 20mm taller than the mid-sized SUV.
