Kia’s Syros EV spotted in India, coming soon to shake up the electric SUV segment. This affordable electric SUV will take on the likes of Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400.

Design That Gets Attention

The heavily camouflaged Syros EV retains the upright, boxy silhouette of its ICE sibling but gets EV-specific updates like a closed-off grille and charging port on the front left fender. Lime-green brake calipers on the test mule hint at a sporty character, while aero-optimized alloy wheels add to efficiency. For buyers, this means a fresh look that’s both premium and practical – hard to ignore in city traffic.

Power and Range

Underneath, the Syros EV is based on Kia’s K1 platform with a single electric motor driving the front wheels. You can choose between two battery packs: a 42 kWh for around 300 km or a 49 kWh for up to 355 km. That’s enough for daily commutes and weekend getaways. DC fast charging and possibly dual charging ports means less time plugged in.

Comfort and Tech Galore

Step inside and you get a feature-loaded cabin for the segment. Expect dual 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and digital instrument display with EV-specific software for battery charge and range. Comfort won’t be compromised either – panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, 360-degree cameras and premium sound system will make for a great driving experience. This one’s designed to keep families and tech enthusiasts happy.

With a price range of ₹14 lakh to ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom), the Kia Syros EV offers great value without compromising. It’ll take on the Nexon EV and XUV400, so a great option for those looking for affordability, technology and style in one package.
