The full story

Moving up costs you ₹15.00L ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹2.35Cr for the Carbon against ₹2.20Cr for the Black.

None of the equipment we track changes here, and the Carbon opens up no engine the Black cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.

Our take

Your callWhether anything you can only see in person is worth the difference

Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.

What Black to Carbon costs on the road

What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹15,15,000 to ₹18,45,000 on the road, against the ₹15,00,000 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 ₹15,00,000 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 ₹3,30,000 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Maharashtra comes out 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 ₹3,30,000, and both be right.
