Which Hyundai Creta Electric variant should you buy?

The ladder keeps paying to the end here: Excellence is both the last step up and the best value for money.
How this is worked out
What each step up actually buys

Why some steps are not ranked
What the road does to this ranking
Where you register can change which step is the best buy here. Premium to Excellence asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, but in 1 of the 17 states we can price this ladder in, road tax puts Executive to Executive Tech ahead of it: in the state where that gap is widest, the badge asks 6.6 percent more for each feature it adds.
Which states, and by how much
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, Premium to Excellence: ₹1,30,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹1,31,300 to ₹2,29,500 on the road. 10 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam comes out highest, across the 17 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
Executive to Executive Tech comes out ahead in Assam. Where that gap is widest, even the best badged step costs 6.6 percent more for what it adds.
Just one state's rates will ever apply to you, so treat this as a reason to price the ladder where you actually live rather than as a reason to change your mind about the car. Comprehensive cover sits on top of every figure here and is inside none of them.
