The full story
Moving up costs you ₹50,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹23.04L for the GTX against ₹22.54L for the HTX.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the GTX opens up no engine the HTX cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
HTX or GTX, and what each costs
Where you start
HTX
From ₹20.54L to ₹22.54L ex-showroom Delhi
The safety step: the roughly 20-function Level 2 ADAS suite, 360 camera and blind view monitor.
The step up
GTX
₹23.04L ex-showroom Delhi
GT Line styling on HTX kit: black high-gloss trim, lime calipers and metal pedals, nothing extra on the spec sheet.
Our take
Identical kit, different heart: 171 PS against 135 PS, a 27 percent jump you will feel and about 86 km further between charges, at 490 km of claimed range against 404 km. Pick on powertrain and price alone.
What HTX to GTX costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹50,500 to ₹57,500 on the road, against the ₹50,000 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 ₹50,000 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 ₹7,000 more in one place than in another. Of the 21 states we can price this step in, 13 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam 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 ₹7,000, and both be right.
