Hyundai Exter HX 3 vs HX 4: is the step up worth it?
This is the step to think hardest about: of the 4 steps above the best-value one that keep the same engine and gearbox, none is worse value for money. One more upgrade above the best-value step is left out of that ranking, because it changes the engine or the gearbox too and its price is not the price of its features. Take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.+₹98,000
The full story
Moving up costs you ₹98,000 ex-showroom on the same engine and gearbox: ₹7.28L for the HX 4 against ₹6.30L for the HX 3.
For that you get tyre pressure monitor, wheel size (15" against 14") and rear USB-C ports.

Our take

What HX 3 to HX 4 costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,00,940 to ₹1,19,420 on the road, against the ₹98,000 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 ₹98,000 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 ₹18,480 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Jharkhand 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 ₹18,480, and both be right.
