Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.95L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta N Line N10 at ₹19.95L or the Syros EV HTX+ at ₹19.49L, the Syros EV leaving ₹0.46L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.46L more for the Creta N Line N10: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: dual-zone climate control and powered driver seat (8-way against 4-way). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Syros EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Creta N Line N10: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), terrain modes, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and auto headlamps, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Creta N Line N10, you give up JBL system with Dolby Atmos, tri-screen cabin layout and touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25"), which the Syros EV HTX+ keeps
- Choose the Kia Syros EV HTX+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.46L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Hyundai Creta N Line N10 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
