Live or Live (O), and what each costs
Where you start
Live
₹11.99L ex-showroom Delhi
The cheapest way into an electric Citroen: 4 airbags, manual AC, no audio system, Polar White only. Connected-car tech and Eco mode are aboard, but this trim exists for the price.
The step up
Live (O)
₹12.35L ex-showroom Delhi
The sensible middle: a 9.8in screen with wireless CarPlay, 4 speakers, rear camera and leatherette covers for Rs 36,000 over Live.
Our take
₹36,000 more buys rear parking camera and 9.8" touchscreen
What Live to Live (O) costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹36,360 to ₹40,140 on the road, against the ₹36,000 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 ₹36,000 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 ₹3,780 more in one place than in another. Of the 21 states we can price this step in, 13 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar 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 ₹3,780, and both be right.
