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
