The full story
Moving up costs you ₹70,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹50.60L for the Limited Edition against ₹49.90L for the Premium.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the Limited Edition opens up no engine the Premium cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
Premium or Limited Edition, and what each costs
Where you start
Premium
₹49.90L ex-showroom Delhi
Rs 8 lakh over the Dynamic buys the big battery, 47 km more claimed range, faster 11 kW home charging and the cabin most people picture: leather, seat memory, a head-up display and mood lighting.
- Premium Electric AT₹49.90L
The step up
Limited Edition
₹50.60L ex-showroom Delhi
A Premium in a tan and black cabin, one of 150. The battery, motor and equipment are the Premium's, so the extra Rs 70,000 buys the interior colours and the rarity.
- Limited Edition Electric AT₹50.60L
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What Premium to Limited Edition costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹70,700 to ₹80,500 on the road, against the ₹70,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹70,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹9,800 more in one place than in another. Of the 17 states we can price this step in, 9 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹9,800, and both be right.
What the Limited Edition adds
Nothing we track, and no engine the Premium cannot be had with either. Ask a dealer what the difference actually is before you pay for it.
