The month of February is expected to witness several major car launches. According toHT Auto, at least three highly anticipated vehicles are set to be launched, with multiple carmakers confirming releases in the coming weeks.

Kia Syros

As per the publication, Kia is poised to unveil the price of its newest subcompact SUV, the Syros, on February 1. Having been showcased in India in December and featured prominently at the Auto Expo 2025, the Syros is set to slot in between Kia’s popular Sonet and Seltos models. This tallboy SUV promises to stand out with a distinctive boxy design and boasts several first-in-segment features aimed at offering a more comfortable ride.

Inside, the Syros features a roomy interior with unique touches such as sliding and reclining rear seats, rear-seat ventilation, and a three-screen setup that spans an impressive 30 inches. Powering the vehicle is a choice of two engines: a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel variant. Both engines are available with manual, automatic, and DCT gearbox options. Kia claims the Syros will offer impressive fuel efficiency, with mileage ranging from 17.65 kmpl to 20.75 kmpl, depending on the variant.

Audi RS Q8 Performance

Audi is set to bring its most powerful SUV to India on February 17, with the eagerly awaited 2025 RS Q8 Performance.
