Overview

• Spy photos from South Korea confirm the heavily camouflaged Syros EV prototype undergoing its first public charging test.
• The test mule’s upright stance and boxy proportions mirror the ICE Syros and feature aero-style wheels and vertical lighting clusters.
• Observers have reported conflicting charging port layouts, with some images showing a single front-left inlet and others indicating dual fender ports.
• Technical specifications remain unverified but the Syros EV is expected to adopt a front-wheel-drive layout and offer an estimated 300–400 km range, possibly from a 42 kWh battery pack.
• Kia plans a global reveal in the coming months with an India launch to follow, positioning the Syros EV below the Carens Clavis EV and in competition with entry-level rivals like the Tata Punch EV and MG Windsor EV.
