The full story
Moving up costs you ₹89,000 ex-showroom Delhi on the same engine and gearbox: ₹17.89L for the Indulge Edition against ₹17.00L for the Essence.
None of the equipment we track changes here, and the Indulge Edition opens up no engine the Essence cannot be had with. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
Essence or Indulge Edition, and what each costs
Where you start
Essence
₹17.00L ex-showroom Delhi
The comfort crown of the 38 kWh car: fixed glass roof, ventilated front seats, 256-colour ambient light and the 9-speaker Infinity system.
- Essence Electric AT₹17.00L
The step up
Indulge Edition
₹17.89L ex-showroom Delhi
An Essence dressed up: Shadow Gold paint with a black roof, black 18in alloys, a black and tan cabin and a flip-down screen in the roof for the rear seats. The equipment otherwise matches the Essence, so the extra money buys looks and the rear screen.
- Indulge Edition Electric AT₹17.89L
Our take
Nothing on the spec sheet separates these, so the only question is what you pay.
What Essence to Indulge Edition costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹89,890 to ₹1,01,015 on the road, against the ₹89,000 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 ₹89,000 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 ₹11,125 more in one place than in another. Of the 17 states we can price this step in, 10 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar 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 ₹11,125, and both be right.
What the Indulge Edition adds
Nothing we track, and no engine the Essence cannot be had with either. Ask a dealer what the difference actually is before you pay for it.
