Evolution or Adventure Edition, and what each costs
Where you start
Evolution
From ₹11.69L to ₹14.49L ex-showroom Delhi
The connectivity step, and a big one: the 25.65 cm openR link screen with wireless mirroring and six speakers, a rear camera, cruise control and 17in alloys. The first trim you can also have with the TCe 160 and its DCT.
The step up
Adventure Edition
From ₹12.99L to ₹15.39L ex-showroom Delhi
The covetable kit in one go: full LED headlamps, the electric panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, connected services and dual-zone auto AC, plus the Adventure decals and embellishers. Rs 1.30 lakh over Evolution on the TCe 100, Rs 1 lakh on the TCe 160 manual.
Our take
₹1.30L more buys headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and panoramic sunroof
What Evolution to Adventure Edition costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,35,200 to ₹1,55,831 on the road, against the ₹1,30,000 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 ₹1,30,000 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 ₹20,631 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 ₹20,631, and both be right.
