Kia India has officially opened its order books for the upcoming Syros EV. Prospective buyers can pre-book their vehicle for Rs. 25,000 through the Kia India website or at any authorised Kia dealership. With this announcement, Kia has also revealed most of the information about the car. Here’s a look at the details. Kia Syros EV Range and Battery Options
The Syros EV will go on sale with two battery pack options, a 51.4 kWh Extended Range unit and a smaller 42 kWh unit. With the former, the Syros EV has a claimed ARAI-certified driving range of 526 kms, and a claimed 443 km range with the latter. These numbers are impressive, to say the least. In fact, the Syros EV could be the only EV in its segment to offer a 500+ km driving range.
The Syros EV also supports DC fast charging. With a 100-kW charger, the 10%-80% charge time is pegged at just 39 minutes. There is also a ‘Battery Conditioning’ feature that optimises battery temperature for faster DC charging. As standard, the Syros EV comes with 10.8 kW onboard AC charging capacity.
Variants and Colour Options
The Syros EV will be available in seven variants across two battery pack options: HTK, HTK+, and HTX with the 42 kWh battery pack, and HTK+ ER, HTX ER, HTX+ ER, and X-Line ER with the Extended Range battery option.
