The ₹13.49 lakh Syros EV does 526 km. Terms and conditions apply.

The poster range belongs to the ₹16.99 lakh car. The poster price belongs to a different battery.

• The Syros EV starts at ₹13.49 lakh ex-showroom with a 42 kWh pack and 443 km claimed.
• The 526 km figure belongs to the 51.4 kWh Extended Range pack, which starts at ₹16.99 lakh.
• Level 2 ADAS and the 360-degree camera sit on one variant, the ₹19.99 lakh X-Line ER.
• Six airbags are standard on all seven variants, with a lifetime battery warranty.

Two batteries, seven variants, and a headline that belongs to neither end of the price list.

Kia launched the Syros EV on 23 July 2026, seven variants from ₹13.49 lakh to ₹19.99 lakh ex-showroom, reaching dealerships from 30 July. There are two front-wheel-drive powertrains. The 42 kWh pack makes 135 hp and claims 443 km on the MIDC cycle; the 51.4 kWh Extended Range pack makes 171 hp and claims 526 km. Both make 255 Nm. Six airbags are standard throughout, and Kia has wrapped the launch in a lifetime warranty on the high-voltage battery plus a Battery-as-a-Service scheme opening at ₹7.99 lakh.

The 526 km on the poster is the ER pack, and the cheapest car carrying it is the HTK+ ER at ₹16.99 lakh, ₹3.50 lakh above the number in the advert. The Level 2 driver assistance and the 360-degree camera go one better: they appear on exactly one variant, the X-Line ER at ₹19.99 lakh, right at the top. A small electric SUV starting under ₹13.50 lakh is genuinely useful news for Indian buyers. It is simply not the same car as the one in the specification sheet.
