Premium or Performance, and what each costs
Where you start
Premium
₹46.20L ex-showroom Delhi
Rs 4.70 lakh buys the big battery and 140 km more claimed range, plus a head-up display, seat memory, adaptive damping, real leather and 19 inch wheels. The sensible pick if you drive far.
The step up
Performance
₹53.65L ex-showroom Delhi
A second motor on the front axle takes it to 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds, with DiSus-C damping and torque vectoring to match. You pay Rs 7.45 lakh over Premium and lose 70 km of claimed range for it.
Our take
Identical kit, different heart: 530.3 PS against 312.7 PS, a 70 percent jump you will feel. Pick on powertrain and price alone.
What the Performance adds
Nothing we track, on equipment. What it does open up is the Electric, which the Premium cannot be had with.
