Kia India has unveiled the Syros EV, its second mass-market electric SUV for the Indian market. The new electric SUV promises an ARAI-certified range of up to 526km, making it the first model in its segment to cross the 500km mark. Pre-bookings have opened for Rs 25,000, with deliveries expected to begin later.
The Syros EV is available with two battery packs:
Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 168 hp, allowing the larger battery version to sprint from 0-100kph in 8.1 seconds.
Kia also claims a 10-80 percent DC fast charge in just 39 minutes using a 100kW charger. Other EV-specific features include battery conditioning, regenerative braking paddles with Auto Mode and i-Pedal, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), Digital Key, Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS) and a column-mounted shift-by-wire selector.
Along with the car itself, Kia is introducing several ownership benefits aimed at first-time EV buyers.
These include:

Inside, it features a 30-inch Trinity Panoramic Display combining:
Safety is another major focus, with the Syros EV offering Level 2 ADAS featuring 16 autonomous safety functions.
Other safety equipment includes:
The Syros EV will be offered in seven variants across the two battery pack options. Buyers can choose from nine exterior colours, including an exclusive X-Line-specific Matte Graphite finish.

The Syros EV looks like Kia’s most serious attempt yet at taking on the growing electric SUV segment. A claimed 526km range, fast charging and a comprehensive ownership package address some of the biggest concerns around EV ownership. If Kia manages to price it competitively, the Syros EV could become one of the strongest options in the mass-market electric SUV space.
