Authentic or Evolution, and what each costs
Where you start
Authentic
₹5.81L ex-showroom Delhi
The safety-first base: six airbags, ESC and TPMS as standard with remote keyless entry and all power windows, on 16in steel wheels. You go without a touchscreen, rear camera and alloys, so it is a value pick more than a loaded one.

The step up
Evolution
From ₹6.59L to ₹7.03L ex-showroom Delhi
The step most buyers want: the 20.32 cm floating touchscreen with wired CarPlay, a rear camera, rear AC vents and four speakers in one move.
Our take
₹78,000 more buys rear parking camera and 8" touchscreen
What Authentic to Evolution costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹80,340 to ₹1,01,670 on the road, against the ₹78,000 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 ₹78,000 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 ₹21,330 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Haryana 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 ₹21,330, and both be right.
