The full story
Moving up costs you ₹15,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹21.45L for the Excellence Knight against ₹21.30L for the Excellence.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the Excellence Knight opens up no engine the Excellence cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.

Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What Excellence to Excellence Knight costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹15,150 to ₹17,250 on the road, against the ₹15,000 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 ₹15,000 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 ₹2,100 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 Assam 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 ₹2,100, and both be right.
What the Excellence Knight adds
Nothing we track, and no engine the Excellence cannot be had with either. Ask a dealer what the difference actually is before you pay for it.
