SV or V, and what each costs
Where you start
SV
A bare-bones price leader: six airbags and LED projectors, but no touchscreen, no speakers, no rear camera and no rear defogger. Most buyers should start one step up.
- SV Petrol MT₹11.80Lex-showroom Delhi
The step up
V
Where the Elevate properly begins: 8in screen with wireless CarPlay, rear camera, four speakers and connected tech in one step.
- V Petrol MT₹12.29Lex-showroom Delhi
- V Petrol AT₹13.79Lex-showroom Delhi
Our take
₹49,000 more buys rear parking camera and 8" touchscreen
What SV to V costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹50,960 to ₹58,736 on the road, against the ₹49,000 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 ₹49,000 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 ₹7,776 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 ₹7,776, and both be right.
