All 38 current combinations across 11 trims and five powertrains match the linked 2026 brochure and Kia’s Delhi/N10 configurator feed. Ex-showroom prices are rounded to the nearest rupee because some API rows contain paise fractions; raw values are retained in the audit. Eight dual-tone alternatives have variant-specific premiums, not a flat paint surcharge. Bengaluru on-road totals are estimates. Older website FAQs and comparison cells mention withdrawn combinations; current brochure plus priced manufacturer codes take precedence. Certified mileage is unverified; ownership efficiency and colour swatches are estimates/illustrations.
Brochures establish specifications and trim equipment; price sources are identified below. On-road prices, real-world efficiency, running costs and buying verdicts are Let’s Pick My Car estimates or opinions. “Not verified” means the reviewed sources do not settle that fact. Source-check dates are distinct from document publication dates. Pricing assumptions and rule sources.
