Excite or Exclusive, and what each costs
Where you start
Excite
₹14.70L ex-showroom Delhi
A strong base: 6 airbags, all-disc brakes, EPB with auto hold, auto AC, cruise and a 10.1in screen. But no camera of any kind, no rear defogger and no connected tech.
The step up
Exclusive
₹16.00L ex-showroom Delhi
The step most buyers should make: the 15.6in screen, 360 camera, connected i-Smart with eCall, powered driver seat, alloys and wireless charger arrive in one move.
Our take
₹1.30L more buys 360° camera and rear parking camera
What Excite to Exclusive costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,31,300 to ₹1,85,800 on the road, against the ₹1,30,000 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 ₹1,30,000 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 ₹54,500 more in one place than in another. Of the 21 states we can price this step in, 13 of them 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 ₹54,500, and both be right.
