Kia to Launch Syros EV in India Amid Sales Challenges for ICE Model
Kia is set to launch the Syros EV in India soon, offering two battery options with claimed ranges of 443km and 526km, making it the first in its segment to exceed 500km. The electric SUV features a powerful 171bhp motor, fast charging capabilities, and a lifetime battery warranty. However, its high price—estimated around Rs 18 lakh for the top variant—and minimal design changes from the ICE model raise questions about its potential to reverse the Syros' recent sales decline in the subcompact SUV segment.
