The Kia Syros EV has been spotted undergoing tests in India for the very first time.

Kia has officially started testing its long-awaited Syros EV on the roads of India, with a prototype being observed in action on Indian ground. The Syros EV made its debut on the streets of South Korea at the beginning of this month.

The camouflaged test variant was spotted on the roads of Kochi, with the overall styling having a striking resemblance to its petrol sibling, as the car’s original quirky tallboy design will be retained in its EV version too. The electric variant will also feature upright front fascia with an addition of vertical LED DRLs, thick B-pillars, and inclusion of a roof rail.
