N-Connecta or Tekna, and what each costs
Where you start
N-Connecta
The comfort step: rear camera, four speakers, rear wiper and defogger, cooled glovebox, roof rails and rear power windows at last. Also the cheapest route to the EZ-Shift automatic.

The step up
Tekna
The top of the range: LED headlamps, suede and leatherette seats, i-Key push start, a 7in digital cluster, auto lamps and wipers, front sensors and six speakers. Cruise control is manual-only here, and the wheels are styled steel, not alloys.

Our take
₹70,000 more buys headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and front parking sensors
What N-Connecta to Tekna costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹72,100 to ₹80,878 on the road, against the ₹70,000 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 ₹70,000 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 ₹8,778 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka 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 ₹8,778, and both be right.
