The second engine is a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, turbo diesel with 115hp power and 250Nm torque. It is paired with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter automatic.In terms of design, the new Kia Ciros features a completely new design and follows Kia’s global design language. Its design is inspired by the Carnival, EV3 and EV9. The Sciros features a boxy and upright design, with vertically stacked LED headlamps mounted on the sides of the bumper. These headlamps feature three LED projector units and a unique drop-down LED daytime running light design, similar to what we have seen on the new Carnival. The upper part of the front fascia is sealed and looks almost EV-like. The air intake is integrated into the black lower section, accented by a contrasting silver trim.
