The full story
Moving up costs you ₹34,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹36.39L for the Track Edition against ₹36.05L for the Overland.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the Track Edition opens up no engine the Overland cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
Overland or Track Edition, and what each costs
Where you start
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.
- Overland Diesel FWD AT₹36.05L
- Overland Diesel AWD AT₹37.92L
The step up
Track Edition
From ₹36.39L to ₹38.26L ex-showroom Delhi
The Overland with a piano black grille, badges and mouldings, a hood decal and Track badging, for Rs 34,000 more on either drivetrain. The ADAS suite and everything else is the Overland's; you are paying for the look.
- Track Edition Diesel FWD AT₹36.39L
- Track Edition Diesel AWD AT₹38.26L
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What Overland to Track Edition costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹36,380 to ₹41,820 on the road, against the ₹34,000 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 ₹34,000 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 ₹5,440 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 ₹5,440, and both be right.
What the Track Edition adds
Nothing we track, and no engine the Overland cannot be had with either. Ask a dealer what the difference actually is before you pay for it.
