NEW DELHI, India, 15 July 2026: Kia India, one of the country’s leading mass-premium automakers, today unveiled the Syros EV, its second mass-market electric vehicle, and opened pre-bookings for INR 25,000 through the Kia India website (kia.com) and dealerships across the country. The Syros EV pairs a best-in-segment ARAI-certified range of 526 km with an ownership package built to remove the most common barriers to EV adoption — a Lifetime* High Voltage Battery Warranty, an Assured Buyback programme and flexible Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) financing.
India’s EV buyers have moved beyond range as the only expectation. As the market matures, customers expect an electric vehicle to fit into their lives without compromise — intuitive technology, connected experiences, dependable charging and confidence in long-term value. The Syros EV is designed to deliver exactly that confidence, combining the bold design and versatility of an SUV with EV-focused technologies, segment-leading features and uncompromising safety.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Gwanggu Lee, Managing Director and CEO of Kia India, said, “Our philosophy of 'Movement that Inspires' is about making future mobility meaningful, accessible and enriching for our customers. With the Syros EV, our second mass-market electric vehicle for India, we are democratizing advanced electric mobility — not only through cutting-edge technology, but by removing the anxieties that hold customers back. The Syros EV delivers a best-in-segment ARAI-certified range of 526 km — the first in its segment to cross the 500 km mark. Paired with a best-in-segment power output of 171 PS, it gives customers the confidence to go further without compromising on performance. Backed by a simplified and effortless ownership experience, including a Lifetime* Battery Warranty, Assured Buyback and BaaS, we are addressing what matters most to Indian families, bringing them a decisive step closer to going electric.”
Ownership Confidence & Peace of Mind
Every Syros EV is backed by a Lifetime* High Voltage Battery Warranty, reaffirming Kia's confidence in the long-term durability and reliability of its battery technology while offering customers greater peace of mind throughout their ownership journey. Complementing this is an attractive Assured Buyback programme that safeguards residual value and provides confidence at the time of resale, along with Kia's Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme that eases the upfront acquisition cost through flexible financing options. Together, these customer-centric initiatives address the three key barriers to EV adoption—concerns around battery longevity, resale value and initial purchase cost, making electric mobility more accessible, predictable and worry-free.
