The full story
The Syros EV base model is the HTK, from ₹13.49L ex-showroom; the top model is the X-Line, from ₹19.99L. That is ₹6.50L more.
The X-Line adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, blind spot monitor and Harman Kardon premium sound system, and 18 more over the HTK.
3 trims sit between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
On this ladder the best value for money is the last step up, into the X-Line, so going all the way is the sound choice.
