King Knight Edition or King Lounge Edition, and what each costs
Where you start
King Knight Edition
From ₹18.83L to ₹20.14L ex-showroom Delhi
About Rs 15,000 over the King automatic for black alloys with red calipers, an all-black cabin with brass inserts and matte black badges. Everything on the spec sheet is King's; petrol IVT or diesel automatic only.
The step up
King Lounge Edition
From ₹19.22L to ₹20.31L ex-showroom Delhi
Rs 53,000 over King for an 11.6in rear-seat entertainment screen (OTT, phone mirroring, gaming), Lounge-branded rear trim and a Golden Bronze paint option. Everything else on the spec sheet is identical to King; automatic only.
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What King Knight Edition to King Lounge Edition costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹40,950 to ₹46,749 on the road, against the ₹39,000 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 ₹39,000 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 ₹5,799 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 ₹5,799, and both be right.
What the King Lounge Edition adds
Nothing we track, and no engine the King Knight Edition cannot be had with either. Ask a dealer what the difference actually is before you pay for it.
