Why there is no overall score
Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

What the Kia Syros trim names mean
- What do the Kia Syros trim names mean?
- A trim is a level of equipment, and Kia uses 7 names for them on the Syros: in its own order they run HTE, HTE (O), HTK (EX) and 4 more. The name is not the car, though: HTK+ alone covers 4 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 17 variants cost ₹8.42L to ₹15.82L, ex-showroom.
- HTE
- 1st of 7, one variant, ₹8.42L

How the Kia Syros is sold, and what each way costs
