Evolution E-Tech or Techno E-Tech, and what each costs
Where you start
Evolution E-Tech
The cheapest way into the strong hybrid, and the reason to pick it is the running cost: Renault claims 29 kmpl and that most city driving happens on electric power. Over the petrol Evolution you get 18in wheels and dual-zone auto AC; the sunroof and LED headlamps wait for Techno.

The step up
Techno E-Tech
Rs 2 lakh over the hybrid Evolution for full LED headlamps, the electric panoramic sunroof, semi-leatherette seats, keyless entry and connected services. This is the hybrid most buyers should look at first.

Our take
₹2.00L more buys headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and panoramic sunroof
What Evolution E-Tech to Techno E-Tech costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹2,10,000 to ₹2,39,740 on the road, against the ₹2,00,000 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 ₹2,00,000 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 ₹29,740 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 ₹29,740, and both be right.
