Kinetic DX Variants Explained
Kinetic first launched the DX in two versions with a 2.6 kWh battery. Then, in September 2026, it added the DX 3 kWh and DX+ 3.1 kWh with bigger batteries. As a result, the line-up now has four versions sold side by side. The standard DX focuses on value, while the DX+ adds more speed, connected tech and an easier charging system. Therefore, your choice depends on how much range and tech you need.
DX 2.6 kWh: The Value Pick
The DX 2.6 kWh costs Rs 1,11,499, making it the most affordable Kinetic DX. Its 2.6 kWh LFP battery claims 102 km, while the top speed reaches 80 km/h. Moreover, it still gets the 37-litre boot, 8.8-inch cluster and Range, Power and Turbo modes. However, it skips the Easy Charge retractable cable and the DX+ telematics package.
DX 3 kWh: More Battery, Same Basics
The DX 3 kWh costs Rs 1,18,599 and adds a bigger 3 kWh LFP battery to the standard DX. As a result, it should offer more real-world range than the 2.6 kWh version. Moreover, it keeps the metal body, 37-litre boot and 8.8-inch cluster. However, Kinetic hasn’t yet published its official range or motor output. It also skips the Easy Charge system.
DX+ 2.6 kWh: The Fastest Option
The DX+ 2.6 kWh costs Rs 1,21,174 and gets the most powerful motor in the range, at 4.8 kW. It claims 116 km and reaches 90 km/h, with all three ride modes, including Turbo. Moreover, it adds the Easy Charge system and the Telekinetic package, with Find My Kinetic and geo-fencing. Therefore, it suits riders who want quick acceleration.
DX+ 3.1 kWh: The Long-Range Flagship
The DX+ 3.1 kWh costs Rs 1,27,650 and claims the most range, at 132 km. Kinetic quotes a real-world range of about 105 to 110 km. Moreover, it adds a hexagonal LED headlight, follow-me-home lamp, cruise control, hill-start assist, IP67 protection and a retractable charging cable. However, it uses a 3.8 kW motor and drops Turbo mode, trading some punch for range.
Which Variant Should You Buy?
Pick the DX 2.6 kWh if you want the DX’s metal body and big boot on a budget. However, the DX+ 3.1 kWh suits most buyers, since it offers the most range and features for about Rs 16,000 more. Choose the DX+ 2.6 kWh if quick acceleration matters most. In comparison, the Bajaj Chetak C3001 also offers a metal body, while the TVS iQube offers TVS’s larger service network.

Karnataka charges no road tax on EVs, so on-road prices stay close to ex-showroom. Moreover, all four versions cost under Rs 1.5 lakh, so they may qualify for the PM E-Drive subsidy. Therefore, ask your dealer whether the quoted price already includes it, as Kinetic quotes its prices for Pune.
Colour Options
The DX 2.6 kWh and DX 3 kWh come in Steel Grey and Jet Black. Meanwhile, both DX+ versions come in five colours: Retro Maroon, Pearl White, Steel Grey, Jet Black and Ocean Blue. Retro Maroon and Ocean Blue best suit the DX’s nostalgic design, while Grey, Black and White offer a classic finish.
