With a radical appearance, innovative characteristics and real blue-skai thinking, Kia Siros is breaking the mold of what an SUV can be.
Look, let’s be honest – the design is subjective. This has always been. But there is a significant difference between good design and great design, and it is located at the intersection where the form meets the function. Striking that perfect balance between the two can be a difficult path, but when you correct it, there are amazing things. And this fact is completely born into the radical new Kia Siros. It is just more than a car; This is a statement on the wheels. Clean lines, cowardice, future elements, and long, confident stance set tone for all experiences, which then once moves up to a new level after stepping inside.
To do justice with this striking design, I had to take the car to a destination that was equally fitting. So I found myself at the Smriti Service Museum in western Gujarat. Back in January 2001, Bhuj experienced one of the worst earthquakes to rock our nation. And after this massive destruction, the people of Gujarat grew together to rebuild the city at the cultural center. And then, in 2022, Bhuj opened the doors of an Ode, Smriti Earthquake Memorial and Museum for the flexibility of the human soul. An excellent work of the design was carved into the hill on the outskirts of the city, a compelling miracle of architecture that it was awarded the prestigious Prix Versay Award for Architecture and Design in 2024.
The large 30-inch trinity panoramic display makes a great way to interact with the intelligent seros.
On the long, straight highways of Gujarat, Siros’ punch 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine was smoothly away from far away as I made my path west, in which slick-shift DCT gearbox was always choosing future fears and right proportion. And with the infrastructure of the road as a car as modern, I can deploy state -of -the -art level 2 Adas features, as well as relax in this knowledge that they will keep me safe during their blissful cruise. This left me to soak me in the beauty of a 30 -inch trinity panoramic display panel, which was encountered with me and a crowd of inner facilities. Kia has gone extra miles with Siros, offering over-the-air updates for 16 onboard controllers, as well as with Kia Connect Diagnostics that diagnoses you from a distance and resolves any issue directly with your service team.
Relaxed cocoons by luxurious and refined cabin, rolled by miles, and before I knew it, I was driving through the gate of the Smittivan earthquake monument. Spread over 470 acres, this memorial park is a tribute to flexibility, in which more than 5 million trees have been planted in memory of lost people. It is a place designed to mix in the landscape, with a check dam, sunset points and an 8-kilometer route that guides visitors through reflection and renewal. The museum in its heart includes a seven -themed blocks spread up to 11,500 square meters, each of which is telling a separate part of the story: rebirth, rediscover, restoration, reconstruction, reconsideration, rethinking, and renewal.
Interactive displays and installations transform the Smutable Earthquake Museum into a truly immersive experience.
As you walk through these galleries, you are taken on a journey through the history of this region, learning what it makes special. More than the disaster, however, this museum shines a spotlight after rebirth, rethinking and reorganization. In the same way that the Siros SUV is rethinking the space, breaking the mold of what an SUV can be. It is definitely shaking things at this place, and while talking about shaking things, Smivan is also home to the world’s largest earthquake simulator – an experience that was powerful and unnecessary. It is a place that does not just perform history – it experiences you, like the best designs in the world. This is the great design. It does not just exist – it interacts. Like Siros, where every line, every feature, every detail is not only for the beauty of the aesthetics, but not for a large calling of a large experience.
Visually striking performances inside the museum were equally informative.
A car and a museum. Two completely different things are yet to be run by the same philosophy – Farm Meeting Function. Smitivan tells a story through space. Siros tells a story through motion. And together, they prove that when the great design is correct, it does not marry just the form and work, it moves you from within.
