9 Feb
Summary
- Kia Syros electric SUV spotted testing in Delhi NCR.
- The EV will likely share battery options with Hyundai's Inster.
- Spy shots reveal potential ADAS features and disc brakes.
Kia India is gearing up to introduce an electric powertrain version of its Syros SUV, following the model's launch in February 2025. The electric Syros was recently observed undergoing testing in the Delhi NCR area, hinting at an expanded presence for Kia in India's electric vehicle market. Spy footage reveals that the camouflage-clad test vehicle retains much of the design from its internal combustion engine counterpart, with the charging port positioned on the front fender.
Further examination of the test vehicle suggests the incorporation of disc brakes on all wheels and aerodynamic alloy wheels. The presence of front and rear parking sensors also points towards the potential inclusion of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) package. While interior details remain scarce, it is anticipated to mirror the ICE variant, possibly featuring a dual-tone theme and enhanced EV-specific software for its displays.
Built on the K1 platform, the electric Syros is expected to feature a front-wheel-drive setup. It may adopt battery pack options from the Hyundai Inster, ranging from 42 kWh to 49 kWh, offering estimated driving ranges of 300 km and 355 km respectively. This aligns with Kia's strategy to expand its electric offerings in the Indian automotive landscape.
