Hello Autocar India team, I own a Maruti Suzuki S-Presso VXI+ AMT, which I purchased in October 2024. The odometer reading is 8900 KM. I am looking to upgrade to an EV. My driving will be mostly 90% city and 10% highways 1) How much should I expect while selling my S-Presso? 2) Among Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7L EV, Kia Syros EV HTK (42 kWh) and Tata Curvv EV Accomplished X55, please rank the cars.

With 90% of city driving, the move to an EV makes sense. Of the three in your shortlist, we would recommend you go with the Kia Syros as it's the most well-rounded offering as a car, and the electrical powertrain is very well calibrated. With the Kia, you can also expect a very reliable and glitch-free experience, as Hyundai (Kia's parent company) have excellent electric drivetrain experience. The Syros is also a very spacious car inside, and while the 42 kWh battery limits range, it will do just fine for your usage given that it is mostly all within the city. Make sure you have access to home charging, though, as relying solely on public chargers is not really feasible.
