Turbo Plus or Turbo Max, and what each costs
Where you start
Turbo Plus
₹11.99L ex-showroom Delhi
The family pick: the 110 PS turbo, LED projector headlamps, automatic AC and the removable 50:50 third row make this the cheapest 7-seater AircrossX by over Rs 1.35 lakh.
- Turbo Petrol 6-speed manual₹11.99L
The step up
Turbo Max
From ₹12.97L to ₹14.14L ex-showroom Delhi
The 5-seat flagship: leatherette cabin, ventilated seats, wireless charger, auto-dimming mirror, rear wiper, alloys and LED fogs. The CARA assistant and connected app need the AT, and the 360 camera is a dealer-fitted extra billed on top.
Our take
₹98,000 more buys ventilated front seats and speakers (6 against 4)
What Turbo Plus to Turbo Max costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,01,920 to ₹1,17,473 on the road, against the ₹98,000 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 ₹98,000 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 ₹15,553 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka 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 ₹15,553, and both be right.
