Limited (O) or Overland, and what each costs
Where you start
Limited (O)
From ₹30.45L to ₹36.05L ex-showroom Delhi
Where it starts feeling like the money: nine Alpine speakers, the 10.2in digital cluster, a 360 camera, ventilated and powered front seats with memory, third-row cooling with its own controls, vegan leather and the full Uconnect suite with automatic SOS calling. Newer cars also get a second row that slides. Worth knowing about the step above: the Limited (O) 4x4 and the Overland cost exactly the same, Rs 36.05 lakh, so that is a fork rather than a rung. You pick the four-wheel drive or you pick the ADAS suite, and only the Rs 37.92 lakh Overland 4x4 gives you both.
The step up
Overland
From ₹36.05L to ₹37.92L ex-showroom Delhi
The only Meridian with ADAS, and that is really what you are buying: adaptive cruise, collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, blind spot detection, traffic sign recognition and the surround view monitor, eleven functions in all. In front-drive form it costs exactly what the Limited (O) 4x4 costs, Rs 36.05 lakh, so the honest question is which you would use more, the driver aids or the four-wheel drive. If the answer is both, the Rs 37.92 lakh Overland 4x4 is the only car in the range that has them.
Our take
₹5.60L more, and the Meridian Overland shifts itself while the other is a manual
What Limited (O) to Overland costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,99,020 to ₹2,28,780 on the road, against the ₹1,86,000 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 ₹1,86,000 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 ₹29,760 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 ₹29,760, and both be right.
