The Syros offers a spacious and thoughtfully designed interior. A 2,550mm wheelbase provides ample cabin space, featuring segment-first sliding and reclining rear seats, along with 60:40 split-folding seats for flexible cargo space. Further enhancing the interior are front and rear ventilated seats, a 76.2cm (30”) Trinity Panoramic Display panel, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, creating a luxurious and practical environment.

An 8-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound System, a wireless smartphone charger, and call center-assisted navigation further enhance the driving experience.
