Why some steps are not ranked
Not every variant here is a straight upgrade. 5 of them either cost nothing extra, hand back more equipment than they add or change none of the equipment we track, so they are shown in full but left out of the value ranking rather than dressed up as a step up.

What the road does to this ranking

Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. Accomplished Ultra Stealth to Accomplished Ultra Stealth 6S 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 Ultra Stealth to Accomplished Ultra Stealth 6S: ₹5,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹5,350 to ₹6,150 on the road. Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala 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 13 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.
