Is the GTX+ worth it?

Of the 2 steps above the best-value one, none is worse value for money: ₹72,000 over HTX+ DCT for LED fog lamps and second-row captain seats. Worth it if you specifically want those features, hard to justify otherwise.

Why some steps are not ranked

Not every variant here is a straight upgrade. 4 of them either ask less than the trim below them, cost nothing extra or hand back more equipment than they add, so they are shown in full but left out of the value ranking rather than dressed up as a step up.

What the road does to this ranking

Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. GTX to HTX (O) A asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.

Why the road could have changed this, and did not

Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.

Take the badged step, GTX to HTX (O) A: ₹5,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹5,250 to ₹5,993 on the road. Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.

In each of those states we ranked the 9 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.

Where the features that matter land

Airbags: All 6 are standard from the base HTE, so nobody has to spend up for them.
Safety features: HTX (O) A, from ₹19.96L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.; The good news

ADAS: You need the HTX (O) A, from ₹19.96L, for ADAS: ₹8.69L over where the Carens Clavis opens.

360° camera: You need the HTX, from ₹17.96L, for a 360 camera: ₹6.69L over where the Carens Clavis opens.
Sunroof: You need the HTE (EX), from ₹12.74L, for a sunroof: ₹1.47L over where the Carens Clavis opens. Spend ₹5.22L more again, to the HTX at ₹17.96L, and that sunroof is panoramic rather than single-pane.
Ventilated front seats: You need the HTX+, from ₹18.69L, for ventilated seats: ₹7.42L over where the Carens Clavis opens. Worth checking before you spend past it: 4 other trims fall short of it, the HTX (O) A at ₹19.96L with no ventilated front seats.
Cruise control: You need the HTK+, from ₹15.28L, for cruise control: ₹4.01L over where the Carens Clavis opens.
