What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. Fearless+ to Fearless+ PS asks the least money for each point of kit it hands over on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, Fearless+ to Fearless+ PS: ₹27,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹28,080 to ₹32,365 on the road. Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
We ranked all 6 of the steps we can compare like for like again in each of those states, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
Where the kit that matters lands
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base Smart, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety kit
- Fearless+ PS, from ₹13.53L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
The good news
Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.- Cheapest automatic
- Smart+ Turbo Petrol AT, ₹8.90L
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Nexon is sold with 3 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
