HX 2 or HX 3, and what each costs
Where you start
HX 2
The way in at Rs 9.99 lakh. You get the full safety set every Bayon has, six airbags, ESC, hill start and tyre pressure monitoring, and the same 115 PS engine as the dearest one. What you don't get is a screen, a camera or a single speaker, and the spare wheel is a puncture kit. Fine if the price is the point; Rs 90,000 more buys the HX 3, the first variant with a touchscreen.

The step up
HX 3
The one to start at. Rs 90,000 over the HX 2 buys the 10.25in touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, speakers, a rear camera and a smart key with push-button start, which is everything the HX 2 goes without. You still sit on 16in steel wheels with manual air conditioning and no sunroof, and this variant is manual only.

Our take
₹90,000 more buys rear parking camera and 10.25" touchscreen
What HX 2 to HX 3 costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹97,650 to ₹1,67,100 on the road, against the ₹90,000 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 ₹90,000 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 ₹69,450 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Punjab comes out lowest, and Tamil Nadu 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 ₹69,450, and both be right.
