Sportline or Prestige, and what each costs
Where you start
Sportline
From ₹14.74L to ₹15.74L ex-showroom Delhi
Signature's exact kit in sportier dress: black 17in alloys, gloss black trim, aluminium pedals and Sportline badging for Rs 15,000 more. The look is the whole upgrade.
The step up
Prestige
From ₹16.79L to ₹18.79L ex-showroom Delhi
The comfort flagship: panoramic sunroof, ventilated powered front seats, the segment-first rear seat massager, 10.25in cluster, subwoofer-backed audio and beige leatherette. Also the only trim sold with all three powertrains.
Our take
₹2.05L more buys sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane) and ventilated front seats
What Sportline to Prestige costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹2,19,350 to ₹2,71,380 on the road, against the ₹2,05,000 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 ₹2,05,000 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 ₹52,030 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat 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 ₹52,030, and both be right.
