Which Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara variant should you buy?
Best value for money: Zeta+ (Strong Hybrid), at ₹1.29L over the Delta+ (Strong Hybrid). No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.
Above that there is one upgrade left, Alpha+ (Strong Hybrid), at ₹1.58L over Zeta+ (Strong Hybrid). Nothing sits above it to weigh it against, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

Why some steps are not ranked
What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. Delta+ (Strong Hybrid) to Zeta+ (Strong Hybrid) 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, Delta+ (Strong Hybrid) to Zeta+ (Strong Hybrid): ₹1,29,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹1,35,450 to ₹1,54,632 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 5 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.
