Design
The Kia Syros EV will bring about distinct visual changes to set it apart from the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) version. Anticipate an aerodynamically bettered closed-off grille, EV-specific visual features, and a contemporary interior with a floating console in the centre layout. These components will provide the Syros EV a contemporary, electric-first persona that resonates with Kia’s design language.
Space
The Syros has always been recognized for its tall boy stance, which allowed for great space management without enlarging the overall length. The cabin feels spacious and comfortable even with its small footprint. Among the sub-4m cars, the Syros still has an airy interior and convenience that are its remarkable features.
Tech
The Kia Syros is fitted with various tech-oriented features aimed at making the user experience more pleasant. One of the main attractions is the tri-cluster display which provides crisp images and quick reactivity. Another point of interest is the rear-seat ventilation which is extremely uncommon in the sub-₹20 lakh segment giving the Syros a leg up in comfort.
Issues
Even though it had a bright launch, the Syros could not make a market impact because of its high price and position between the Sonet and the Seltos. Some design aspects like the headlamp positioning were vulnerable to breaking. The rear suspension was also soft which led to discomfort for the rear passengers especially when the car was at full capacity thereby affecting the overall satisfaction negatively.
Upgrades
The brand Syros will be, according to Kia, completely refreshed by the new EV version. The electric vehicle will likely come with two battery variants to choose from; a smaller 42kWh pack with a 71.1kW motor (147Nm torque) and a larger 49kWh pack with an 84.5kW motor (147Nm torque). It is predicted that the larger battery will provide the driver with a maximum range of about 355 km. Quick 10-80% charging in only 30 minutes through a 120kW DC charger enhances real-world usability.
Kia’s stiffer suspension on the EV, which is the result of the battery situated underneath the floor, is expected to eliminate the comfort problem of rear seats in the ICE model. With Kia’s proven EV technology, the Syros EV is going to very much faster with the acceleration, it will be power delivery, and thus, a more pleasurable driving experience.
