Inside, the Kia Syros offers a dual-tone cabin with leatherette upholstery, depending on the selected variant. It features dual 12.3-inch displays—one for infotainment and the other for the instrument cluster. The cabin also includes a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front and rear seats, a 5-inch screen for climate controls, a wireless phone charger, and 64-color ambient lighting. For safety, the Syros comes with six airbags, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
