Classic Pack or Favoured Pack, and what each costs
Where you start
Classic Pack
Worth the stretch if you will live with the car daily: the head-up display, Harman Kardon sound, keyless comfort access, auto-dimming mirrors, a heated sport steering wheel and Vescin-and-cloth seats, over the Essential's spec, for Rs 5.95 lakh more. The engine, roof and screen are the same.

The step up
Favoured Pack
Rs 2.85 lakh over the Classic buys John Cooper Works sport seats in Vescin, electric adjustment with driver memory and the Active Seat, and the choice of 18in wheels. Nothing mechanical changes; this is the comfortable Cooper S rather than the quick one.

Our take
Keeps ₹2.85L, and gives up only 6-way powered driver seat and driver seat memory
Buy the Mini Cooper S Classic Pack and keep the ₹2.85L: the Cooper S Favoured Pack only adds small touches like 6-way powered driver seat and driver seat memory. Nothing there changes the car.
What Classic Pack to Favoured Pack costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹3,04,950 to ₹3,50,550 on the road, against the ₹2,85,000 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 ₹2,85,000 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 ₹45,600 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram 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 ₹45,600, and both be right.
