Evolution or Climber, and what each costs
Where you start
Evolution
From ₹4.53L to ₹4.90L ex-showroom Delhi
The sensible base: 20.32 cm touchscreen with wired CarPlay, an LED digital cluster, manual AC and rear parking sensors on 14in steel wheels. You get two front airbags here, not six, and no reversing camera.
The step up
Climber
From ₹5.15L to ₹5.61L ex-showroom Delhi
Worth the stretch for the safety alone: six airbags and a reversing camera arrive with the SUV dress, roof rails and dual-tone paint. The kit is otherwise close to the Evolution, so you are mostly paying for the airbags, camera and the look.
Our take
₹62,000 more buys airbags (6 against 2) and rear parking camera
What Evolution to Climber costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹62,000 to ₹86,320 on the road, against the ₹62,000 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 ₹62,000 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 ₹24,320 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, West Bengal comes out lowest, and Assam 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 ₹24,320, and both be right.
