Is the Kia Syros EV or the Tata Safari cheaper?

Which is more practical, the Kia Syros EV or the Tata Safari?

Which is cheaper as an automatic, the Kia Syros EV or the Tata Safari?

The Syros EV: its cheapest automatic is ₹13.49L against ₹17.91L for the Safari, ex-showroom Delhi. A gearbox is usually the biggest single step on either ladder, so check what else that trim brings before you read it as the price of the automatic alone.
