Design: Boxy Architecture Meets Aerodynamic Efficiency

Unlike electric crossovers that sacrifice cabin headroom for sweeping rooflines, the Syros EV leans into vertical volume. At 3,995 mm in length with an extended 2,550 mm wheelbase, its upright proportions maximize interior space while maintaining a nimble footprint for tight city streets.

Digital Tiger Face

A closed-off front grille is integrated with signature Ice Cube MFR LED headlamps and sleek daytime running lights.

Aerodynamic Optimizations

  • Flush auto-streamline door handles
  • Active air curtains
  • 17-inch crystal-cut aerodynamic alloy wheels
  • Drag coefficient of 0.34

Lighting Signature

Vertical Star Map LED combination tail lamps bookend an upright tailgate.

Powertrain, Battery, and Range

Kia equips the Syros EV with two distinct battery configurations, borrowing proven architectural components while tuning them for superior efficiency.

Specification Standard Range (SR) Extended Range (ER)
Battery capacity 42 kWh 51.4 kWh
Peak power 135 PS (99 kW) 171 PS (126 kW)
Maximum torque 255 Nm 255 Nm
ARAI MIDC range 443 km 526 km
0–100 km/h Approximately 9.6 seconds 8.1 seconds
DC fast charge (10–80%) Approximately 39 minutes (100 kW DC) Approximately 39 minutes (100 kW DC)

Power Delivery

Power delivery is exceptionally smooth. Rather than an aggressive initial torque spike that overwhelms front traction, the throttle is calibrated for linear, confident acceleration across Eco, City, and Sport driving modes.
