Sport or Longitude (O2), and what each costs
Where you start
Sport
A genuinely spartan way into a Compass at Rs 17.99 lakh, and it drives like the others: same 170 hp diesel, same frequency-selective damping, six airbags, alloys. What you give up is most of the kit. No sunroof, no cruise control at all, a 3.5in cluster, four speakers, an inflator kit instead of a spare wheel, and nothing connected. The next rung costs Rs 5.64 lakh more, so go in knowing this is a big step down, not a small one.

The step up
Longitude (O2)
This is where the Compass starts feeling like its price: dual-pane panoramic sunroof, the 10.1in screen with navigation, dual-zone climate, keyless go, wireless charging, leatherette and Jeep's connected services. Worth the stretch from the Sport if you can find the money, and the automatic is the one to have, because cruise control only comes with it.

Our take
What Sport to Longitude (O2) costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹6,03,480 to ₹7,83,670 on the road, against the ₹5,64,000 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 ₹5,64,000 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 ₹1,80,190 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat 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 ₹1,80,190, and both be right.
