Kia Syros EV vs Tata Harrier: which should you buy?
The Tata Harrier starts at ₹12.89L against the Kia Syros EV's ₹13.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.60L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.99L, where the Syros EV tops out. Past that only the Harrier has anything left to sell you, up to ₹25.95L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Syros EV comes in electric, the Harrier in petrol and diesel.
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 Harrier Adventure X at ₹18.35L, the Harrier leaving ₹1.64L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.64L more for the Syros EV X-Line: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, blind spot monitor and JBL system with Dolby Atmos. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25") and connected car tech. 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 Syros EV X-Line: tri-screen cabin layout, ventilated front seats, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and rear ventilated seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Syros EV X-Line, you give up dual-zone climate control, headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Harrier Adventure X keeps
- Choose the Tata Harrier Adventure X if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.64L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Kia Syros EV X-Line if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
