X-Dynamic HSE or Trophy Sandglow, and what each costs
Where you start
X-Dynamic HSE
From ₹1.07Cr to ₹1.36Cr ex-showroom Delhi
Where the Defender 110 starts: the five-door Defender most buyers mean, P300 or D350, with adaptive LED headlamps, a 3D surround camera, a panoramic roof, Meridian sound and cooled front seats as standard.
The step up
Trophy Sandglow
₹1.36Cr ex-showroom Delhi
Rs 29 lakh more than the X-Dynamic HSE buys JLR's D350 (349 PS), with the same named equipment otherwise.
Our take
Keeps ₹29.00L: the diesel's 349 PS against the petrol's 300 PS, a jump of 16 percent you will feel, and that is not worth it here
What X-Dynamic HSE to Trophy Sandglow costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹10,700 to ₹12,300 on the road, against the ₹10,000 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 ₹10,000 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 ₹1,600 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, 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 ₹1,600, and both be right.
