HX 6 or HX 8, and what each costs
Where you start
HX 6
The one to stretch to if looks matter. Rs 1.12 lakh over the HX 5 buys the panoramic sunroof, dual LED projector headlamps, 17in alloys, ambient lighting, puddle lamps and a rear wiper. Nothing mechanical changes and the seats stay fabric; leatherette, ventilated seats and the 360 camera are an HX 8 thing, another Rs 1.53 lakh up.

The step up
HX 8
Pay here for comfort. Rs 1.53 lakh over the HX 6 buys leatherette, an 8-way powered driver's seat, ventilated front seats, the 360 camera with front and side sensors, rear disc brakes, a dashcam and a 60:40 split rear seat with an armrest; the iVT alone adds an electric parking brake with auto hold. Driver assistance still waits for the HX 10, Rs 1.55 lakh further on.

Our take
₹1.53L more buys 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes
What HX 6 to HX 8 costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,63,710 to ₹2,07,680 on the road, against the ₹1,53,000 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 ₹1,53,000 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 ₹43,970 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala 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 ₹43,970, and both be right.
