Seeing the rapid increase in the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in the Indian automobile market, many big manufacturers are preparing to launch new vehicles in this segment. Now if the news is to be believed, Kia Motors can also launch its new electric vehicle in India soon. So which EV will it be and when can it make a bang entry? Let’s know in this report.
Kia’s Electric SUV
According to media reports, Kia Motors is preparing to launch a new electric vehicle in India. However, the company has not yet officially confirmed it. But it is expected that it can be introduced in the next few months, which will make the competition in the electric SUV segment even more exciting.
Which vehicle can be launched
If reports are to be believed, Kia can launch a new electric SUV in the compact SUV segment. In such a situation, there is also speculation that the manufacturer can introduce an electric version of Kia Syros. Kia Syros has recently been launched in the Indian market in ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) version, and now its electric avatar can give customers another great option.
What will change in the electric avatar
If the Kia Syros EV is launched in India, then according to reports, some changes can be made in its design as compared to the ICE version. The front grille can be closed in the EV version, which is a common identity of electric vehicles. Along with this, the charging port in the EV version can be given in the front bumper, which will make charging easier. New design 17-inch alloy wheels can be used in the electric version of the SUV, which will make its look even more attractive.
How powerful will the battery and motor be
At present, no official information is available about the power of its battery and motor. But it is expected that the manufacturer can offer a battery with a range of about 450 to 500 kilometers in the Kia Syros EV, which will be sufficient for long distance trips. Apart from this, many changes can also be made in its interior and some new features like ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) and 360-degree camera can also be added, which will make it even more modern in terms of technology.
When can it be launched
According to media reports, this new electric SUV of Kia can be launched in the Indian market by mid-2026. However, Kia India has not yet made any official information public in this regard. But if this launch timeline proves to be correct, then it can be a great news for the customers waiting to buy an electric SUV. With the Kia Syros EV, the company will aim to make its strong presence felt in the compact electric SUV segment.
