Kia Syros EV HTK Features
The HTK covers the essentials well for a base model. It gets LED headlamps, LED daytime running lamps and 16-inch wheels. Inside, a touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a column-type shift-by-wire lever frees up space on the centre console. In addition, the 60:40 split rear seats offer flexibility for carrying luggage.
Safety Features
Every Syros EV, including the HTK, gets 6 airbags, ABS, ESC and hill-start assist. It also gets disc brakes on all four wheels and ISOFIX child seat mounts. However, Level 2 ADAS is reserved for the top X-Line ER variant.
What the HTK Misses
To keep the price low, the HTK skips several features. It doesn’t get a rear wiper, rear defogger or LED rear turn indicators. In addition, it misses paddle shifters, cruise control and the frunk. Comfort features like ventilated seats, a powered driver seat and Harman Kardon audio also come only on higher variants. Inside, it uses fabric upholstery.
