Kia India has taken the wraps off the smallest electric vehicle in its lineup, the Syros EV. The Syros EV, in terms of design, is similar to its ICE counterpart, with quirky styling and a futuristic theme; it does carry forward this unique look.
The Kia Syros EV comes in five trims, which include HTK, HTK Plus, HTX, HTX Plus, and X-Line. In this article, we are having a look at what colours the Syros EV offers and checking which of them are available in each variant.
Colour Options
The Syros EV offers 9 monotone shades:
Ivory Silver Matte
Frost Blue
Gravity Grey
Pewter Olive
Magma Red
Ivory Silver Gloss
Aurora Black Pearl
Glacier White Pearl
Xclusive Matte Graphite
Let’s look at which variant gets which colours:
Colour HTK HTK Plus HTX HTX Plus X-Line Ivory Silver Matte ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Frost Blue ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Gravity Grey ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Pewter Olive ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Magma Red ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Ivory Silver Gloss ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Glacier White Pearl ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Aurora Black Pearl ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Xclusive Matte Graphite ❌ ❌ ❌ ❌ ✅
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.
