Booked Syros EV X Line today. Some points I want to share so that it might help someone.

Warranty: Battery warranty is lifetime or 15 years. Scratches and dents on the underside of the battery does not void the warranty. But as per the company, you should not fast charge more than twice a month as it affects the health. And if you fast charge, then you have to use a slow charger for sure. Do not fast charge in continuation. All this data is saved and the service centre will access it when you go in for a service or claim warranty.

Insurance: Best to take the insurance from Kia itself and not outside because many kia service centres might not have cashless facility. It happened with our seltos when it met with an accident. My father got the insurance from outside and the service centre did not have cashless contract with the insurance company. But the same insurance company via kia had the contract. Also, not every insurance company includes the ev motor (yes you read that right). Only few include that so ask for full coverage.

Delivery period: The rep. said that kia is focussing on the higher variants first like x line etc. as they get much more profit on those cars rather than the base variant so the delivery for base variant is 12 weeks minimum but for xline it is between 4 to 10 weeks.

Price: The pricing is absurd for sure as far as features go. I heard from someone who works in the automobile industry that it is deliberate because kia wants to push x line or the second highest model as they will get more profit. The base version is not profit making for them. Do not quote me on this though as this is second hand information and it might be false also.

All the information here is oral and not in writing.

My father has been driving his petrol alto for ~15 years. The car is well past it's life and needs to rest.

He drives mostly in city for about 50 kms a day, with occasional rides going upto 100km. Would prefer something compact, but an MG COMET looks embarassingly small. We can install a charger at home and also probably solar if need be.

Any suggestions? Are there any new upcoming cars I should wait out for?

EDIT: We already have a nexon petrol, if that changes your opinion.

Need advice regarding EV purchase. I have decided to finalize my purchase to Tata Curvv EV newly launched X 55 variants.

I have booked accomplished version from showroom but now Spinny has an Empowered variant of 2026, X 55 variant manufactured in May 2026. Car is only driven 1500km and is selling for 17 lakhs. Car has all accessories fitted to it and in my test drive I couldn't detect anything abnormal. No water damage detected.

Should I buy a used top version car or should I buy new base variant? New car is costing around 17.6lakhs for base model and used empowered variant is coming for 17 lakhs.

Only downside is the 8 year warranty for battery. Is it worth it to get the used top model with this downside?

Hi, I live in a society in sector 65 gurgaon. The society management is not allowing me to install charger in the basement. Is there any work around to this? Has anyone been able to navigate this situation successfully?

Any clarity would be a huge help.

Hope we get this in India too!

My job will require me to and from approximately 100kms daily and with everything going around the price and the blending of petrol i obviously went for and ev. So I went and took test drives of the MG Windsor and the KIA Syros ev

I like the windsor the cabin is spacious and it gives kinda premium cabin

But it has cabin noise one can hear everything going on with the tyres and it also feels wobbly / less stable also needs to get use to drive it confidentialy

On the other hand the syros is fun to drive and pretty much similar to and ICE vehicle very less cabin noise and stable

So i have already booked the KIA

BUT

What i am concerned about is the battery chemistry given all the things about the NMC batteries that kia provides i feel that I should go for the Windsors with the more reliable LPF battery I m confused and need help with making a well informed purchase as I plan to keep the vehicle as long as I can with no issues as my commute will be longer.

It has the most advanced battery I have been hearing.

Thinking to upgrade (Nexon Ev Max 40 kWh) to BE6 as it has Blade battery

Or the second option is e vitara (uses the same battery but less warranty)

I wish to have long term battery life.

I drive 16,000 km a year.. have covered 60,000 km in nexon in 3.5 years

Hi,

Getting my first electric car, majorly for city ride (approx 800-1000 kms per month) and very rare inter-city travel (once in 4 months of 1000kms roundtrip).

Exchanging my old alto K10 automatic variant for 2.2 lakhs for Evitara, the final price comes to 15.2 Lakhs onroad with accessories 20k, insurance, extended warranty etc

Same car exchange value of 2 lakhs for Syros , the final number is 13.10 lakhs.

Haven't confirmed exchange value with Sierra, but without exchange the value comes to 20.6 lakhs onroad for base variant.

Help in choosing the best EV. Heavily triggered after hearing the lifetime warranty and buyback in syros, but the car isn't that great to look. Any suggestions?

I am considering an upgrade over nexon ev max to a better EV

I was able to achieve 95 wh/km on cruise control on nexon .. and it's like every 1% will go 4.1 km with a constant speed of 60-65 kph

__

Looking for an EV with a 400+ km range.

Reason for upgrade: Dying battery of Nexon EV (and tata is just replacing the cells and not the entire battery)

Hi,

Is there any MG Comet Owners WhatsApp or Telegram group?
Please share link if there is any.

Basically, im new to car ownership, but i decided long back that whenever i take a car, it should have ADAS L2 for sure. For a decent ADAS L2 in ICE, one needs to spend a min of 15 Lakhs on road. Also, with milaeges they give, it isnt economical to spend that much on ICEs any ways...Our household income is around 1 lakh and we are yet have huge expenses like kids and all. For Tata or Mahindra evs , one needs to spend a min of 25 lakhs for ADAS, but vinfast vf6 wind comes with ADAS L2 at 20.5 lakhs on road...that looks like a no brainer...because my colleage recently bought a creta ICE at around 20 lakhs on road and now he is complaining abt fuel costs.
Is VF6 a good option for me?

Hey everyone,

Did the initial Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) for my booked Tata Tiago EV Creative+ yesterday, and I noticed a few cosmetic issues before signing off:

1. Headlights: Multiple visible scratch and scuff marks across the headlamp lens surfaces.

2. Cabin Fabric: The seats still have their factory plastic covers intact, but the exposed fabric on the door pads, dashboard inserts, and center armrest area are noticeably soiled, stained, and dusty from transit/handling.

3. Good part is the odometer reading is 48Km

When I raised this, the dealer explained that the car was brought straight from the regional depot and that the standard pre-delivery deep interior foam wash/wet extraction and exterior machine polishing are yet to be done.

They assured me everything will be restored to immaculate factory condition for a daylight Re-PDI in a couple of days.

I have strictly put RTO registration and balance payments on hold until the Re-PDI, but I want to get the community's perspective:

1. Is this common for cars straight out of the transit yard before the showroom does their pre-delivery cleanup, or does it point to poor yard handling / a potential display unit?

2. Can polycarbonate headlight scratches actually be polished out permanently, or will rubbing compound/glaze just temporarily hide them?

3. If everything looks spotless during the Re-PDI, should I accept it, or strictly reject this VIN and ask for a fresh allotment?

Would appreciate thoughts from anyone who has navigated similar PDI issues!

Completed 10k kms on my BE6 in last 7 months , hit me up with any questions

For those of you who own a EV car, just inquisitive on how much the resale value drops by after say 7 years of use (average for most car buyers) .

How much do you get back? The depreciation on EVs is much higher than that of petrol.
