Take ₹14.96L to both showrooms and you come out with the Syros EV HTK at ₹13.49L or the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L at ₹14.96L, the Syros EV leaving ₹1.47L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.47L more for the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: connected car tech and dual-zone climate control. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos, panoramic sunroof and rear parking camera, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L, you give up tri-screen cabin layout, touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25") and regenerative braking, which the Syros EV HTK keeps
- Choose the Kia Syros EV HTK if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.47L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV AX7 L if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
