Which Kia Syros EV variant should you buy?
There are 7 ways to buy a Syros EV, across 5 trims, from ₹13.50L to ₹20.00L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at X-Line: ₹0.50L more than HTX+, and no rung you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee.
The ladder keeps paying to the end here: X-Line is both the last step up and the one that asks least per feature.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

- Safety kit: X-Line, from ₹20.00L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
- Automatic: the cheapest is the HTK Electric AT at ₹13.50L. See it

Picking the trim is only half of it. The Syros EV is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
