HX 8 or HX 10, and what each costs
Where you start
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.

The step up
HX 10
The only Bayon with driver assistance. Rs 1.55 lakh over the HX 8 buys Hyundai's Level 2 Pro with 23 functions, blind-spot monitoring, twin 12.3in screens with navigation and the AI voice assistant, Bose eight-speaker audio and an auto-dimming mirror; the iVT alone gets smart cruise control with stop and go. At Rs 18 lakh the automatic costs Rs 8 lakh more than the HX 2 for the same engine, so be sure the safety kit is what you are paying for.

Our take

What HX 8 to HX 10 costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,62,750 to ₹1,85,799 on the road, against the ₹1,55,000 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 ₹1,55,000 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 ₹23,049 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 ₹23,049, and both be right.
