I Drove Kia Syros EV Till It Died | Range Test & Review

2026 Kia Syros EV range test & review - I finally drove Kia's first mass-segment EV in and around Bengaluru for over 16 hours ( from 97% to 1%) to test its real world range and evaluate its biggest positives & negatives. The Syros EV shares its basic platform with the ICE counterpart, but it has been reengineered to accommodate battery pack beneath the floor and an electric motor on the front axle. This has of course increased the car's weight, and thus they had to tweak the suspension to compensate for the added mass. But has this actually improved the ride quality, which was one of my biggest concerns with the ICE version? I've tried to answer that as well along with other observations. Note - The test unit was given to me by Kia India during the Syros EV's media drive event in Bengaluru. This is an editorial video.
