The full story
Moving up costs you ₹25,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹26.95L for the Track Edition against ₹26.70L for the 85th Anniversary Edition.
No extra equipment comes with it: this step is about the 2.0 Multijet II Diesel (4x4) it opens up rather than the features it adds.
85th Anniversary Edition or Track Edition, and what each costs
Where you start
85th Anniversary Edition
₹26.70L ex-showroom Delhi
One of 85: Model S (O2)'s kit with "85" decals, gloss-black 18in alloys and black leatherette with gold stitching, at the same Rs 26.70 lakh as the Model S (O2) manual. Only the manual is priced; ask Jeep about the automatic and 4x4.
The step up
Track Edition
From ₹26.95L to ₹30.95L ex-showroom Delhi
Model S (O2) dressed up: Tupelo leatherette, smoke chrome and piano black details, a hood decal and diamond-cut 18in alloys. About Rs 25,000 over Model S (O2) on each gearbox, and that price includes the mandatory Track accessory kit. The equipment is unchanged.
- Track Edition Diesel MT₹26.95L
- Track Edition Diesel FWD AT₹29.01L
- Track Edition Diesel AWD AT₹30.95L
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What 85th Anniversary Edition to Track Edition costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹26,750 to ₹30,750 on the road, against the ₹25,000 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 ₹25,000 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 ₹4,000 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala 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 ₹4,000, and both be right.
What the Track Edition adds
Nothing we track, on equipment. What it does open up is the 2.0 Multijet II Diesel (4x4), which the 85th Anniversary Edition cannot be had with.
