Kia Syros EV vs MG ZS EV: which should you buy?
The Kia Syros EV starts at ₹13.49L against the MG ZS EV's ₹17.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹4.50L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.99L, where the Syros EV tops out. Past that only the ZS EV has anything left to sell you, up to ₹20.75L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Syros EV X-Line at ₹19.99L or the ZS EV Excite Pro at ₹18.75L, the ZS EV leaving ₹1.24L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.24L more for the Syros EV X-Line: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and vehicle-to-load (V2L). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Syros EV X-Line: JBL system with Dolby Atmos, tri-screen cabin layout, ventilated front seats and rear ventilated seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Syros EV X-Line, you give up SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), hill descent control and auto headlamps, which the ZS EV Excite Pro keeps
- Choose the MG ZS EV Excite Pro if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.24L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Kia Syros EV X-Line if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
