The Tech-line gets 8 colours to choose from, which include Ivory Silver Matte, Frost Blue, Gravity Grey, Pewter Olive, Magma Red, Ivory Silver Gloss, Glacier White Pearl, and Aurora Black Pearl.
-
The X-line gets two colours, which are Aurora Black Pearl and Xclusive Matte Graphite, with the Xclusive Matte Graphite being exclusive to the X-line trim.
-
The Syros EV opts out of the Imperial Blue colour, which is present in the ICE counterpart, but does get the Xclusive Matte Graphite for the top-end trim.
| Note: When compared to the Syros ICE, Kia has added the X-Line trim to the Syros EV, which includes the new Xclusive Matte Graphite colour, but it misses out on the Imperial Blue colour available for the ICE. The Syros is also expected to receive the X-Line trim as well, which will most probably add the same shade to it. |
Features & Safety
While the Kia Syros EV is similar to the Syros ICE, it has a few differences, such as a dual-tone black and white interior theme and a new steering wheel borrowed from the Seltos, unlike the two-spoke steering on the Syros ICE. Other features include a triple-display setup, which includes a 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, and a 5-inch display for climate control, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, powered driver seat, front and rear ventilated seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel that adds more premiumness to the cabin.
In terms of safety, it gets Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), in which some of the features are lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind view monitor, and forward collision warning. It is also equipped with a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, a dashcam, 6 airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
