Kuro Special Edition or Tekna, and what each costs
Where you start
Kuro Special Edition
From ₹7.85L to ₹9.99L ex-showroom Delhi
N-Connecta in all black for Rs 35,000 more (Rs 25,000 on the turbo CVT): Onyx Black paint, smoked headlamps, black alloys, grille and roof rails, and a black cabin with piano black inserts. The equipment is N-Connecta's, and the wireless charger and dashcam you may see in pictures are dealer fitments.
The step up
Tekna
From ₹8.43L to ₹10.69L ex-showroom Delhi
The kit trim: bi-LED projectors, 360 camera, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, cooled glovebox and the PlasmaCluster air purifier. Cruise control skips the AMT, so pick the manual or the CVT if you want it.

- Tekna Petrol AT₹8.98L
- Tekna Turbo Petrol MT₹9.61L
- Tekna Turbo Petrol AT₹10.69L
Our take
₹58,000 more buys 360° camera and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against Halogen)
What Kuro Special Edition to Tekna costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹59,740 to ₹67,013 on the road, against the ₹58,000 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 ₹58,000 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 ₹7,273 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 ₹7,273, and both be right.
