Kia Syros EV spotted. What to expect

Kia Syros EV is one of the upcoming electric cars among the most expected ones in India. The carmaker is currently working on the Syros EV, and a test mule with a complete camouflage wrap has been spotted for the very first time. The Kia test mule was spotted plugged in at an electric vehicle charging station. However, despite the camouflage wrap, the Kia Syros EV's key elements can be figured out.
The Kia Syros EV's upright stance and boxy proportions are evident from the prototype despite the heavy camouflage. Expect the electric car to come with a design identical to the standard Kia Syros. This could come in line with what Kia has done with the Carens Clavis EV, which sports an identical design to the Kia Carens Clavis.
Some of the design elements of the upcoming Kia Syros EV would include squared off wheel arches, short overhangs and a tall glasshouse. Adding the distinctiveness to the electric SUV will be unique aero-styled wheels with Kia branding, which suggests a focus on efficiency. It will come with vertically stacked headlamps, positioned on the edges of the bumper, while the vertical taillight clusters flank the tailgate. Also, it gets a flat roofline, an upright tailgate. Notably, the charging port is mounted on the front left fender, not at the front like the Carens Clavis EV.
With its global debut expected in the coming months, the Kia Syros EV is expected to be positioned below the Carens Clavis EV in the brand's India lineup. The technical details of the EV remain undisclosed, but expect it to be available with multiple battery pack options. Expect the top-spec Syros EV to come promising 300–400 kilometres of range per charge. Kia Syros is already gaining traction in the Indian passenger vehicle market. The electric iteration of the EV would further bolster Kia's sales.

Kia Syros EV Spotted In India - Expected Launch, Price And Features

Kia Syros EV: The upcoming Kia Syros EV has been spotted testing for the first time, giving us an early look at what Kia's latest electric SUV might bring to the market. While the official launch date hasn't been confirmed yet, it's expected to arrive in India sometime between January and March 2026, sold alongside the ICE-powered Syros. Pricing for the Syros EV is likely to be between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 20 lakh. Kia is betting big on its EV lineup, with the Syros and the recently unveiled Carens Clavis EV. According to the reports, Kia estimated that both vehicles could contribute a combined 50,000-60,000 units in sales by 2026. Even under heavy camouflage, the Syros EV's boxy design was evident, with its headlights, tail-lights, and alloy wheels peeking through. The test mule also sports a radar unit on the front grille for ADAS features, outside rearview mirrors, parking sensors, and a tall greenhouse area above the beltline. The brake callipers on the test mule were finished in a lime green shade. Usually, Kia reserves this colour for its performance EVs like the EV9 GT in international markets. The charging port is positioned on the front right fender. While the interior wasn't revealed in the spy shots, it's expected to borrow most of its features from the ICE version. That means it could get dual 12.3-inch screens for the infotainment and instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, reclining, sliding and ventilated second-row seats, Level 2 ADAS, and a 360-degree camera. The Syros EV is built on the same K1 platform as the Hyundai Inster EV. It's likely to offer front-wheel drive and could share Hyundai's 42kWh and 49kWh battery packs. For reference, the Inster EV delivers a WLTP-certified range of around 300km with the smaller pack and up to 355km with the larger one in the global market.
