Why some steps are not ranked
What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. Accomplished to Accomplished Plus S asks the least money for each feature it adds 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, Accomplished to Accomplished Plus S: ₹70,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹72,100 to ₹80,878 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.
In each of those states we ranked the 6 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, 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 features that matter land
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base Smart, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety features

- Sunroof
- You need the Pure Plus S, from ₹7.52L, for a sunroof: ₹1.77L over where the Punch opens. Worth checking before you spend past it: 2 other trims fall short of it, the Accomplished at ₹8.47L with no sunroof.
