What the HTE (O) Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTE (O) Diesel MT comes to ₹10,44,340 on the road in Itanagar and ₹11,94,340 in Hyderabad.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,50,000 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Telangana highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹10.00L ex-showroom Delhi this is the fourth of 17 Syros variants by price, ₹18,000 above the HTK (EX) Turbo Petrol MT. The same HTE (O) kit starts at ₹78,000 less as the HTE (O) Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest HTK (EX) actually costs ₹18,000 less than this variant and buys rear parking camera and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) among 4 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the HTK (EX) starts at ₹10.62L.

Kia Syros HTE (O): the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Kia Syros HTE (O) Diesel MT?
- ₹10.00L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 4th of 17 by price, ₹18,000 above the HTK (EX) Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Syros HTE (O) Diesel MT?
- Expect ₹10,44,340 in Itanagar and ₹11,94,340 in Hyderabad. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹1,50,000 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Kia Syros HTE (O) Diesel MT have?
- The Diesel, 116 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 20.8 km/l.
- What features does the Kia Syros HTE (O) Diesel MT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Sunroof (Single-pane), Height-adjustable driver seat, Wheel type (Alloy), Auto-folding wing mirrors, Airbags (6) and Electronic stability control.
- What does the Kia Syros HTE (O) Diesel MT miss out on?
- The HTK (EX) above it adds rear parking camera, headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), roof rails and auto headlamps, for ₹18,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the HTK (EX) though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹62,000 more.
- Is the HTE (O) the right Syros to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Kia Syros which-variant page. The short version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
