Sportline or Selection L&K, and what each costs
Where you start
Sportline
₹44.99L ex-showroom Delhi
The sporty 7-seater, and since 2026 the sensible tech buy: the full ADAS suite, Matrix LEDs, 360 camera, 12.9in screen and Canton audio in black-on-black dress, Rs 2 lakh below the L&K.
The step up
Selection L&K
₹46.99L ex-showroom Delhi
The luxury flagship: Cognac leather and Ergo front seats with pneumatic massage, ventilation and heating on top of Sportline's full tech and ADAS kit. The Rs 2 lakh step buys comfort, not capability.
Our take
₹2.00L more buys ventilated front seats and hill descent control
What Sportline to Selection L&K costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹2,14,000 to ₹2,46,000 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 ₹32,000 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala 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 ₹32,000, and both be right.
