Exclusive Pro or Essence Pro, and what each costs
Where you start
Exclusive Pro
₹17.90L ex-showroom Delhi
The 52.9 kWh battery with Exclusive kit plus Infinity audio: 449 km certified, but you give up the Essence's glass roof, ventilated seats and ambient lighting.
The step up
Essence Pro
₹19.00L ex-showroom Delhi
The full house: the 449 km battery, the only trim with Level 2 ADAS, plus a powered tailgate and V2L on top of everything the Essence has.
Our take
₹1.10L more buys level 2 (core suite) ADAS and single-pane sunroof
What Exclusive Pro to Essence Pro costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,11,100 to ₹1,24,850 on the road, against the ₹1,10,000 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 ₹1,10,000 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 ₹13,750 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 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 ₹13,750, and both be right.
